Why was Jenny Shepherd killed off in NCIS?

Answer 1

Well it was kind of a medley of reasons, one being Lauren Holly wanted to go after different roles, and try more movies as well. Also, Jenny Sheppard had cancer, as is hinted in several episodes, she was not going to last too long anyway, and the producers/directors wanted to end the season with a big bang, which invloved killing someone off. If you think about it, she was the most logical choice, she was, in a sense, the least stable main character. She was a big enough star to stir up emotions in viewers, yet small enough that the show could easily continue.

Answer 2

Jenny, Gibbs and another man were sent to assassinate three members of the mob many years before in France. They all thought it was over until years later when the other man dies and their code word is leaked.

Jenny tried to protect Gibbs; she goes out to kill the one person who was left and gets herself killed. Gibbs figures out that Jenny didn't kill the last member of the mob they were tasked to kill all those years ago in France and now she wants revenge - since Jenny and the other man are dead, the only one left to kill is Gibbs.

Answer 3

Well at the end of season 5 Jenny, Ziva and Tony had to go to LA so Jenny could attend a funeral for an old partner that she was with in the Paris opp. When Jenny figured out that her former partner was murdered she figured that she was next and called in the help of Mike Franks. They followed the dead guys wife's instructions to find his insurance plan out into the desert to an old Diner where some assassins caught Jenny off guard while Mike was out the back getting water. Mike only was able to come in and finish off the assassins after Jenny had been shot multiple times. Tony and Ziva managed to get to the scene after losing the director and after Mike had gone. Sorry if I missed some stuff but that's what I remember.

Answer 4

Oh, dude, Jenny Shepherd was killed off in NCIS because the writers decided it was time for her character to go. I mean, it's not like she just tripped and fell into a plot hole, right? Sometimes in TV land, characters gotta make way for new drama and stuff. It's like the circle of life, but with more crime scenes.

Answer 5

Jenny Shepard died heroically in a hail of bullets after taking out 4 (count 'em! 4!) baddies in the finale episode of Season 5 but, because she was dying of a disease that would have been very painful and caused her to lose her motor skills, we think it was a form of 'suicide by baddie' (as opposed to suicide by cop). But wait! there's more! She died in order to protect Gibbs.

Answer 6

She was shot but died fighting episode judgement day part 2

Answer 7

I think it is pretty safe to presume that she is. We pretty much saw the body. I don't really know how she could still be alive

Answer 8

Natashia, a woman that she and Gibbs were sent to Paris to kill some years earlier. Gibbs killed his guy but Jenny couldn't bring herself to kill Natashia.

Answer 9

She could have wanted to do another show or movie or she just wanted stop being in NCIS or they just wanted Jenny to die.
