‘Aliyah’ is a Hebrew word which means as much as ‘ascent’ it refers to Jewish immigration to Israel. I have been spoiler free all season but I just needed to know what that word meant. It basically means that when you move to Israel you are ascending, in essence it means that you are moving to a better place. Moving from Israel is called ‘Yerida’ which means decent.

Knowing the meaning of that word you pretty much know what this episode will hold in store for you. Especially when you have seen the ending of the last episode. Let’s start where the last episode ended.

Tony is lying on Ziva’s living room floor holding Ziva at gunpoint, who has just kicked in the door to her own apartment after she has seen the struggle that ensued in her apartment from the outside of the building. She ran inside when she heard the gunshots and she is now holding her gun pointed at Tony. Michael is deadly wounded on the floor next to Tony. Ziva turns Michael onto his back, he tells her that he is sorry.

Our stars have been battling it out for weeks. Tonight, all of their work came to fruition as a winner was crowned in the massive two-hour finale. It came down to Melissa Rycroft, Shawn Johnson, and Gilles Marini.

It’s graduation time for the boys and girls of Constance Billiard and St. Judes. Which gives me some deep fangirly pleasure. Buffy graduated from high school a year before I graduated from middle school, so the fact that my graduation date from college is the same as the UESers makes me pretty dorkily happy. I feel free to admit this here, because if you’re reading this review in the first place, you totally get it. The second season finale of Gossip Girl had it’s ups and downs, but at least it finally gave me the ending that I wanted and set up a lot of new story lines for the third season.
