Hetty last appeared in the premiere episode of season 14, when it was suggested that the Operations Manager had staged her own death after a child's body carrying her ID was discovered in Syria, her last known location.

One person wrote: "Without Hetty is not the same!" while another added: "But Gibbs... And Hetty."

Considering the show's executive producer R. Scott Gemmill recently confirmed that Hetty would return at some point in season 14, some fans were hopeful that the crossover will see the teams join forces to save her.

Fans are hoping Hetty will make an appearance

One person wrote: "Wondering if it has to do with a Hetty Rescue???" while another suggested that two agents could end up dead during the rescue operation, tweeting: "If it is due to a Hetty rescue and these bombers will kill Adian parker and Jane Tennett as an exchange to let Hetty go."

While CBS has yet to announce an official release date, fans can expect to see the crossover sometime in January next year.
