Yes, Mariel Molino has been on set. No, showrunners David J. North and Gina Lucita Monreal won’t reveal to what end.

“You will see the Lala character in some capacity,” Monreal tells TVLine, “but whether she’s in a flashback, alive, dead, a ghost… all of your questions will be answered in the premiere.”

Picking up two months after Lala violently flipped her Jeep, the Season 2 opener finds Gibbs and the NIS team dealing with “a lot of different kinds of emotions,” says Monreal.

“They’re still processing the accident and all that entails.”

Another finale thread to be picked up on involves Franks “struggling to reconnect” with his brother Mason, whom viewers were led to believe died in Vietnam.

While the above sounds all-so-very serious, know that “this season we’re really trying to embrace the lighter side of things,” says Monreal.

For example, Randy will try to be his usual “ray of sunshine” self while relegated to desk duty; Mary Jo and Wheeler “intersect in a really interesting way that deepens their working relationship”; and Vera will “cross with a known character from the [NCIS] mothership.”

BONUS SPOILER!:

All told, Season 2 will introduce three younger versions of franchise characters “that the fans are going to be very, very excited about,” North teases — Adam Campbell’s Young Ducky, included.
