Fans enjoyed watching DiNozzo lead the NCIS team
Following some tense events in the "NCIS" Season 3 finale, Leroy Jethro Gibbs decides to retire from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, leaving his leadership position vacant. Tony DiNozzo is the one who ends up taking Gibbs' place, as revealed in the Season 4 premiere, titled "Shalom." Though he only remains team leader for a two-episode stint before Gibbs returns in Season 4, Episode 3, some fans online continue to look back at DiNozzo's time as team leader as a high point for his character.
For example, one Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/NCIS/comments/ozmnkh/dinozzo_should_have_been_team_lead_for_more_than/) user started a thread titled "DiNozzo Should Have Been Team Lead for More than 2 Episodes," arguing that, in spite of his immature tendencies, DiNozzo appears to be genuinely invested in the lives of his fellow team members, and should have been allotted more time to lead them. Another, similar Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/NCIS/comments/sy7hzq/dinozzo_as_team_leader/) thread titled "DiNozzo as team leader" characterizes Tony's leadership role as an ideal fit based on his personality. In the comments sections of both threads, many users then voiced their own appreciation for DiNozzo's time as team leader.
Since Season 3, Episode 3 is the episode in which he debuts in his leadership role, then, it remains the ultimate DiNozzo episode, given how many fans still look back fondly on this development for his character today.
