A rollercoaster of an article. I love Simon Hattenstone’s writing.

Alden Parker’s NCIS team just isn’t the same with Jessica Knight not on it.

Season 22, which premieres this Monday at a special time (8/7c on CBS), picks up some six months after Jessica bid D.C. (and beau Jimmy Palmer) adieu, to head up the REACT Team based out of Camp Pendleton.

Knight’s exit “kicked off a chain of reaction of changes for the rest of the NCIS team,” Katrina Law previews for TVLine. “We find Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) has gone back to his roots and is now on an undercover mission, and McGee (Sean Murray) is interviewing for a new job [as NCIS Deputy Director]. That leaves Parker (Gary Cole) sitting alone at his desk in the bullpen, staring at all of our empty desks.”

Ergo the season premiere’s title, “Empty Nest.”

Knight meanwhile is “fully immersed” in her REACT job, “at the very beginning stages of a huge personal growth,” Law notes. “For years now she has been happily cruising in the shadow of her very high-powered father, but the freedom and the strength that Knight finds in making career and personal decisions that are 100-percent her own, it’s quite liberating.”

On the flip side, “that also means that any mistakes, any regrets that she has, now falls squarely on her shoulders,” Law says. “She’s at a stage right now where you basically see her going, ‘I couldn’t make my dad happy, I couldn’t make Jimmy happy, so you know what? I’m just going to do my own thing, purely based off of my wants and needs, and not include anybody else.”

Speaking of Knight’s mistakes….

The season opens in jarring fashion, with her holding a clergyman (!) hostage (!!) in the REACT Training Center, and demanding to get a lawyer, to hash out the sticky situation. But unlike TV’s usual, tried-and-true in media res gimmick (where we’d then get a “24 HOURS EARLIER” chyron), Knight’s dilemma plays out in real time, with occasional flashbacks to how she got in this mess.

“All of a sudden we kind of start going back and forth between what happened that led up to the day, and it’s this whole, ‘What’s happening? Who’s telling the truth? Who trusts who?’ thing,” Law teases. “It’s quite exciting and unique, and a lot of fun.”

Amidst the hostage drama, might the season opener find time to give viewers a sense of where things stand for Jessica and Jimmy (Brian Dietzen), whose relationship was already getting a bit wobbly ahead of her decision to leave D.C. for San Diego?

“You will get a sense,” Law allows, explaining that Jimmy’s daughter “has been making sure that we have been staying in touch.” So, Victoria is on Team #KnightInShiningPalmer…? “Very much so,” Law confirms with a smile.

Meanwhile back in the big orange room, Vance (Rocky Carroll) and McGee will find their efforts to help Torres with his undercover op repeatedly stymied by a new character, Inspector General LaRoche (played by Castle vet Seamus Dever and a seemingly endless supply of mints).

Will Jessica’s puzzling hostage sitch somehow result in her rejoining Parker’s team, and on a full-time basis? Law is mum, but teases at lease one cliffhanger to come.

“We have some questions that are definitively answered” at the end of the season opener, she says, “but then there is one big cliffhanger that is going to take us throughout the season.”

Something Wicked This Way Comes

A/N: This story is was written for @hp-12monthsofmagic October prompt. Happy Halloween. OCs featured belong to @whatwouldvalerydo (Victoria Summer... sorry for bothering her again), @the-al-chemist (Jim and Ethel Hexley), @endlessly-cursed (Nilüfer Sultan, in mention), @slytherindisaster (Gabriel Sapieha, Lysander Mercury) and @kc-and-co (Bradford Pendleton IV). Warning: serious Shakespeare blasphemy. I'm sorry.

The day had been overcast, and darkness come early over the Forbidden Forest. Swathes of mist rose from the moss and root covered ground, and the night was silent except for the rustling of fallen leaves, the soft sounds of the creatures that had ventured out under the cover of nightfall, and a resounding scraping sound as something heavy was dragged over a piece of stone, followed by a groan and the hasty shuffling of feet.

“How much further is it?”

“It can’t be very far, I daresay.”

“You said that ten minutes ago, Ethel. I swear I recognise this tree.”

“Hush, I believe I can see it from here. Quickly, now.”

Three figures stepped into an opening in the trees, in the middle of which the ground rose gently to a grass-covered mound. On it, bathed in the light of the full moon, six boulders of varying sizes had been erected to form a circle, in the middle of which a seventh stone lay on its side, forming what looked to be an altar.

It was there that the three girls, clad in skirts and blouses that marked them as students of the nearby Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, dragged the cauldron they had been pulling behind them. They were breathing heavily by the time they had made it to the top, and the faces of Ethel Hexley and Selene Fraser grew red as they hoisted the heavy metal pot on top of the horizontally lying stone. 

Selene and Ethel had found the stone ring a couple of days ago while prowling the woods, and had been dying to return ever since. They had prepared diligently, but with the unsteadiness of the late October weather, it had taken them until the very last day of the month to make their way out into the Forbidden Forest again. They were chatting in hushed whispers amongst each other now, excitedly checking the contents of the bags slung around their shoulders.

Victoria, who had seen herself half-compelled, half-forced to accompany her dormmates, seemed less enthusiastic. She looked around uneasily, observing the shadows cast by the tall stone monuments. Wrapping her arms around herself to keep from shivering, she stepped closer to the stone altar.

“Are you finally going to tell me what this is all about?” 

Ethel and Selene stopped whispering and shared a meaningful look.

“We have something special planned for tonight,” Selene said in a low voice.

“Something to mark the occasion,” Ethel agreed.

“We’ll do magic,” the two of them said in unison, the sable-coloured ferret that had appeared on Selene’s shoulder nodding his head as if in agreement. 

Victoria looked between them sceptically. “But why come here? Why all that hustle? We could have just as well stayed at the castle.”

“Because, dearest Victoria,” Selene said and motioned at the stones surrounding them. “This place is special.” 

“Most magical.”

“Of the utmost importance.”

Ethel paused, looking at Selene curiously. “It is?”

“It must be, must it not?” Selene shrugged. “Why endure all the hardships to set these stones up otherwise?”

“You must be right, of course.” Clapping her hands together, Ethel turned back to Victoria and pointed at the cauldron. “There is a spell that Selene and I have been wanting to attempt but Professor Sharp refuses to let us into the Potions classroom by ourselves after this most unfortunate incident with Carolyn Nyberg’s calming draught.”

“Which was not our fault, if I may say so.”

“Far from it.”

“The farthest.”

“And what did you need my help for?” Victoria asked patiently.

“See, the spell needs three wielders to succeed.”

“Three witches, to be precise.”

“And who would be more inclined, more perfectly suited to complete our trio than you?”

Victoria could think of a handful of people better suited; the matter of inclination was another one entirely but she chose to remain silent. 

“Shall we begin then?”

Victoria was still at a loss for what was about to happen when she was directed to stand at the head of the stone, with Selene and Ethel facing each other on its side. 

“You might want to take that,” Selene whispered to Victoria, producing a densely written note from the folds of her skirt. “We have it memorised.”

Victoria was just about to ask what she meant when Selene and Ethel began chanting, in grave, hushed voices that didn’t sound like them at all. 

“Thrice the brinded cat hath mew’d. Thrice and once the hedge-pig whined. Harpier cries ‘Tis time, ‘tis time. Round about the cauldron go; In the poison’d entrails throw.”

They began moving to circle the stone altar with the now bubbling cauldron, underneath which Ethel had set fire. 

“Toad that under cold stone Days and nights has thirty-one Sweltere’d venom sleeping got, Boil thou first i’ the charmed pot.”

Selene reached into her bag and pulled out a stoppered bottle which looked suspiciously like the ones Professor Sharp had on display behind his desk in the Potions classroom. She held it over the cauldron and shook its contents inside. The slimy green something that had fallen out sank to the bottom, and Selene and Ethel continued to sing, in a much louder, almost gleeful voice,

“Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble.” 

“Hold on,” Victoria cried out. “Did you drag me out here to enact a play?”

“We never would even think of dragging you.”

“You walked quite by yourself.”

“And this is not any stupid spell from any stupid play we are putting to the test here. This is Macbeth!”

“By the greatest poet of all times.”

“The master of words.”

“The bard of bards.”

Wearily, Victoria held a hand up and the stream of chatter ceased. “And does Professor Sharp know you stole… borrowed one of his cauldrons and ingredients?” 

Ethel and Selene exchanged a glance that had the sinking feeling in Victoria’s stomach intensify. She stifled the sigh lodged in her chest. 

“Go on then.”

Breaking into smiles, Ethel began rummaging through her bag again, while Selene reached across the stone to squeeze Victoria’s hand. The chanting recommenced as Ethel produced a small parcel. In places, moisture had already seeped through the parchment, and Victoria could only briefly glimpse something reddish as its contents were tossed into the cauldron. 

“Fillet of a fenny snake, In the cauldron boil and bake; Eye of newt and toe of frog, Wool of bat and tongue of dog, Adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting, Lizard’s legs and owlet’s wing, For a charm of powerful trouble, ike a hell-broth boil and bubble.”

They continued in that fashion as ingredient after ingredient made its way into the cauldron. Selene and Ethel seemed to have acquired everything the recipe listed, adding newts’ eyes and lizards’ legs with more and more glee as the potion boiled up and began changing its colour, bathing the clearing in an eerily green glow. 

“Liver of blaspheming Jew, Gall of goat, and slips of yew Sliver’d in the moon’s eclipse…”

“You didn’t actually put someone’s liver in there, did you?” Victoria asked with wide eyes.

“No,” said Ethel and sounded almost regretful. “A piece of someone’s liver is surprisingly hard to come by.”

Victoria chose not to comment on this. “Then what did you put in just now?” 

“We got some calf liver from the kitchens. Did you have any luck with the Tartar’s lips, Selly?”

“No,” sighed Selene, “and not with the nose of Turk either. I asked Nilüfer Sultan if she cared to help out but she wouldn’t hear of it.”

“How rude.”

“Don’t you think so?”

“So can we go back now if you don’t have everything to complete the spell?” 

“Oh Victoria, don’t be silly,” Selene laughed. “A good witch knows how to adapt!”

With pinched fingers, she pulled a tissue from her pocket and let it float into the cauldron, topping it up with something that Victoria could only assume to be a handful of ground meat. She and Ethel took up singing again.

“Cool it with a baboon’s blood, Then the charm is firm and good.” 

Ethel produced a slender vial from her now empty bag, unstoppered it and poured some red liquid into the cauldron. She and Selene exchanged excited looks and stepped forward to peer inside. Victoria did not. The eerie green glow from before had vanished, the colour of the potion they had brewed changing disconcertingly fast. The soft sound of the bubbling had given way to a deeper rumble, too, making the metal pot shake on the stone altar.

“What exactly did you brew there?”

“We brewed a potion most potent and most fantastical.”

“Dare I say, the potion of potions.”

“I gathered,” said Victoria, brushing a lock of her hair behind her ear and watching the quivering cauldron from the corner of her eye. “But what does it do?”

Selene and Ethel stopped in their tracks.

“What do you mean, what does it do?”

“What are its effects? What’s going to happen now?” Victoria paled as a thought struck her. “I’m not going to drink it if that’s what you intended.”

“Well, in the play, Macbeth is supposed to see apparitions telling him of his fate now.”

“There is no Macbeth here, though, and no apparitions either.”

Ethel and Selene looked at each other shrugging, as if the thought had only now occurred to them. Feeling suddenly more stupid than possibly endangered, she crossed her arms in front of her chest.

“I can’t believe you two,” she sternly told her friends. “Every time I think you can’t get anymore silly you top my expectations. Not only that you drag me away from the Halloween feast in the middle of the night to clamber over sticks and stones with a stolen - yes, Ethel, stolen - cauldron, you didn’t even spent a thought at the purpose of such a doing, or what might possibly come off it!”

“But we did!” Selene protested loudly. She was barely audible of the rumble of the potion. It splashed higher and higher, and glowed brighter and brighter, coming up as high as if someone had thrown a stone into water. “In the play —“

“‘Play’ being the operative word here,” Victoria scoffed. “Did you really think I would fancy seeing a severed head and a bloody baby telling me about my doom?” She snorted. “Pray, forgive me if I do decline.” 

Selene looked torn between feeling sorry to have upset her friend and the righteous urge to prove Victoria wrong, while Ethel geared herself up to defend their endeavour. Before it could come to it, however, the light changed yet again. With a resounding boom, the cauldron shot up into the air and came crashing down with a loud bang, bouncing off one of the vertical stones as it did so. 

Victoria and Ethel gasped as they jumped away from the glowing drops flying their way. Selene shrieked and pressed Alan to her chest with one hand, rubbing at a stain on her skirt with the other. The formerly peaceful, moonlit clearing was reduced to chaos, but when suddenly a low, agony-filled moan reached them from the blackness of the trees, the three girls and one ferret froze. 

Alan gave a whimper, clambering up onto Selene’s shoulder. Selene held him and stroked his fur, but her excitedly glittering eyes were trained on the darkness ahead. She started towards it with a couple of determined steps, but Victoria caught her by her sleeve and pulled her back. Reluctantly, she turned and followed her fleeing friends, quick footsteps carrying them away from the stone circle and back towards the castle. 

When they were gone, the moaning and groaning stopped. A rustle sounded in the underbrush beyond the clearing, and from the darkness four figures emerged, three of them grinning broadly, and one not so much, slowly trailing behind the others. They approached the clearing, standing in the middle of the exploded potion with three of them on one side, and the remaining on the other. 

“Pleasure doing business with you, gentlemen,” said Gabriel Sapieha, watching his vandalised surroundings with a look of profound satisfaction.

“Anytime, old chap.” Bradford Pendleton hooked the toe of his boot under the handle of the cauldron and pushed it back into a standing position. Curiously, he peered inside. “Who would have thought that my tempering with potion recipes would not result in failure for once?”

“Carolyn Nyberg would be proud of you.”

Brady chuckled. “I certainly hope not. Good aim, Mercury.” 

“Thank you. Did you see their faces?” asked Lysander Mercury with a grin. He screwed up his face and it morphed into the features of Ethel Hexley, her eyes wide and her mouth rounded to a perfect circle as Ethel-Lysander waved his arms above his head in a hysterical gesture. He held his stomach as he laughed. “This was priceless, gentlemen, absolutely priceless.”

“If you say so,” Jim Hexley mumbled, watching as the hair on his friend’s head turned back to its original golden shade and he looked like himself again. “Are we quite done now? There are honeyed cakes at the feast. I’d be loath to miss them.”

“Not afraid of the dark, are we, old chap?”

Jim was spared a reply when something - or someone? - moved beyond the treeline. A low howl carried through the moonlit night toward them, swelling in volume and pitch. The boys in the clearing looked at each other uneasily. Jim swallowed.

“It hasn’t worked, though, has it? The potion?”

“Don’t be a fool, Hexley,” said Lysander, but he didn’t look away from where the howl had come from. “It is bound to be a wolf or something.”

“You sound like that wouldn't be a problem in itself.”

The howling took up again. The four boys looked up at the full moon hanging silvery above their heads and back at each other.

“I say we make for the castle,” Gabriel suggested in a light tone but his eyes never left the shadow of the trees. “My friends are eager to hear of our success, and we wouldn’t want Jim to miss his honeyed cakes, would we?”

They all agreed, and so left the clearing. One by one they stepped onto the path leading under the canopy of trees, which Jim could swear looked darker than it had upon their arrival. He was the last to follow, and he cast one look back at the stone circle across his shoulder. The cauldron still sat where it had fallen, now upright again, in a ring of glowing specks of potion, which shimmered ominously in the moonlight.

A shiver running down his spine, Jim turned away, hurrying his steps to catch up with his friends toward the warmth and safety of the brightly lit castle.

The Beginning of a Symphony - Chapter 36

A/N: the night of the ball has finally arrived, and Ophelia is determined to make the most of this opportunity.

Warnings: Ophelia’s usual antics, plus fake-dating trope gone wrong.

OCs featured/mentioned: Carolyn Nyberg, Selene Fraser, Alan the ferret and Henry Lovecraft @lifeofkaze, Bradford Pendleton, Ivy Anders, Oliver Gerard and Eliot Gerard @kc-and-co, Adelia Selwyn @thatravenpuffwitch, Marigold Sterling and Cledwyn Ironwood @that-scouse-wizard, Victoria Summer @whatwouldvalerydo, Primrose Gray @endlessly-cursed, William Devlin and Maxwell Pembroke @unfortunate-arrow, Lydia Ellis @mjs-oc-corner

May 1897

The night of the Celestial Ball had arrived at last, and it was everything Ophelia had dreamed it would be. The Great Hall had been transformed into a grand ballroom, with the tables vanished to make enough space for people to dance, and a large obelisk in the very middle. Even the enchanted ceiling appeared more star-filled than usual, as if the very sky knew that this night was going to be one where something magical might happen.

Ophelia observed the scene from one of the seats that lined the walls of the Great Hall. Carolyn, Adelia, and Marigold were all on the dancefloor; Caro with Bradford Pendleton, Adelia with Teddy Ellison, and Marigold with Lydia Ellis. All three of them looked beautiful in their dress robes, and were the very pictures of poise and grace as they danced with their suitors.

The Slytherins were not the only ones who were looking and dancing exquisitely. Hufflepuff’s Ivy Anders flashed Ophelia a wide and friendly smile as she paraded past on the arm of Maxwell Pembroke, while Gryffindor’s Oliver Gerard and Victoria Summer appeared to be saving their smiles for each other. Primrose Grey from Ravenclaw was among the best dressed, smiling as she danced with her fiancé William Devlin. Ophelia felt a pang of jealousy. It was not fair, really. Primrose’s parents had picked out a wealthy suitor for her as a child, and she did not even need one. She clearly had enough money for pretty dresses and dance lessons without one.

As for Ophelia herself, she had managed to magically alter the dress her mother had bought her for birthday so it looked brand new and far fancier and more fashionable than it was in reality. She had arranged her newly blonde hair very prettily and applied a subtle amount of Marigold’s rouge to her cheeks in order to accentuate her newly green eyes. But as of yet, no one had asked her to dance with them.

It was peculiar; she looked as close to being beautiful as she ever would, and the stage had been set perfectly for her to showcase that, but somehow, she still found herself waiting in the wings. She had so many potential leading men, but she had yet to become a leading lady. Sitting to the side of the dance floor next to the wall, she may not have even been part of the ensemble. No, she was merely a piece of the scenery.

She was trying to act as if nothing was vexing her - after all, no gentleman would want to dance with a lady who did not smile nicely - but she was finding it increasingly difficult to not show how disappointed she was by this turn of events. Still, she was able to force a smile as Carolyn approached her, Bradford at her side, the two of them having retired from the dancefloor.

“Ophelia, are you not dancing?” Caro asked her, and Ophelia shook her head. “Why, has no one yet asked you?”

“No, sadly not.”

“Now, that simply will not do. You must have a dance,” said Brady. Ophelia looked at him hopefully, but his eyes had started to scan the dancefloor. “I’m certain that we can find someone to dance with you. Let’s see… Ah, just the person. Jim, old bean!”

At the sound of his name being called out, Jim Hexley walked towards the group. When he reached them, Brady etched around to clap him on the back.

“Jim, my friend, we have a young lady who wishes to dance and has no partner to dance with, and I see that you appear to have misplaced your dance partner.”

“Oh, well, I… I have not misplaced her. That is to say, I am quite certain of where she is. Over there, look.” Jim pointed in the direction of the refreshment table, where his twin sister Ethel was drinking pumpkinade with her own dance partner, Cledwyn Ironwood. On her other side, Selene Fraser was intently listening to something that Eliot Gerard was telling her.

“I take no joy in being the man to deliver this news to you, old chap, but it would appear that there are three of you in this partnership.”

“Yes, but then that… that has been the case since the beginning of the evening.”

As Jim spoke, the small, minky-furred body of a ferret climbed up over Selene’s shoulder and came to rest there, a small bow tie tied around its neck. Brady guffawed, Jim chuckled, and even Carolyn’s lips twitched a little.

“So, what do you say, Jim?” Brady asked, once he had finished laughing. “Fancy a turn about the room with Miss Burke here?”

Jim cleared his throat before nodding his head. “Uh, yes. Of course. It would be my pleasure. An honour. I… Ophelia, would you like to dance?”

Ophelia considered the offer. Jim Hexley was not the sort of wizard she had hoped to dance with. He was a decent enough fellow, but not at all wealthy. Still, one had to start somewhere, and everyone knew that a gentleman showing interest in a woman was sure to garner the interest of other men. So, she took Jim’s proffered hand and accompanied him to the dancefloor, where the couples had just begun to dance along to the polka music being played by an unmanned orchestra.

“I am afraid that I… I am not the best dancer,” Jim apologised. “Ethel and Selene did teach me - or attempted to teach me, I should say - but their efforts, I fear, have been in vain.”

“Do you think that is why Miss Fraser has set her sights on Eliot Gerard?” Ophelia asked. Jim shook his head. His face looked somewhat saddened. “Are you upset by this snub?”

“No. Not at all,” Jim almost smiled. “Selene and I are just friends. Perhaps more like family, with how close she and my sister are.”

“Then why do you seem downhearted?”

“It is nothing. I mean, I am not. I… Well, I had wished to accompany someone else tonight. I am sorry.”

“That is very well. I had wished to accompany someone else, as well.”

“Really? Who?”

“No one in particular. Just someone of status.”

“I see,” Jim nodded slowly, frowning. “I feel that I must be a disappointment.”

“It is better than dancing with no one at all, is it not?” Ophelia asked him.

“I am not certain that I agree. I… It seems to me that the more dances one has with others, the more one misses the company of the one they truly wish to dance with.”

“Well, maybe if the one you wish to dance with sees you dancing with another, she will find herself wishing that it was her you were dancing with and miss you in return.”

Jim looked thoughtful. “That is what my sister said. But so far, Héloïse has barely looked at me.”

“Does she know that you and Selene are only friends, and that Selene has also been accompanied by her ferret?”

“I… I do believe that she does.”

“Then perhaps this is why your sister’s plan has not worked. Say, I have an idea,” said Ophelia, suddenly feeling hopeful again. “A ruse, one which will allow us to help one another. If we each appear to be enjoying the other’s company as we dance, then other wizards shall wish to dance with me, and… Héloïse, did you say? Perhaps Héloïse will take notice of you at last. What say you?”

“It is as good a plan as any, I suppose,” Jim sighed. “How… How should I act towards you.”

“You may start by smiling,” Ophelia told him, and Jim laughed quietly to himself. “See? You are doing quite well already.”

They smiled at one another as they danced, barely talking. Jim did not seem to want to talk much, seeming to be too preoccupied with counting his steps to attempt to hold a conversation. Eventually, though, he asked her:

“Is it working? The ruse?”

“I think it is, yes,” Ophelia said. She looked around her at the boys at the edges of the hall. Several were looking at her, including Henry Lovecraft, who was watching the scene with the little dark-haired, dark-eyed girl at his side. “Héloïse is looking at us.”

“She is?” Jim’s eyes brightened. He cleared his throat. “Is she… What is she doing?”

“At present she is talking with Henry Lovecraft.”

“Ah.”

“He is putting an arm around her shoulders.”

“Oh.”

“I do believe that he is attempting to comfort her,” Ophelia informed Jim, watching as Héloïse took a deep breath and blinked rapidly. “Yes, she looks quite upset.”

“What? Is she-”

“No, don’t look, you’ll ruin the ruse,” said Ophelia. “It is working, is it not?” Jim nodded, but he looked doubtful. Ophelia turned her attention back to Héloïse and Henry Lovecraft. “She is sad, but Henry is saying something to her. She is shaking her head, and has stepped away from him.”

“She has?”

“Yes, but he’s taken hold of her hand. Oh, but she’s taken her hand back. She’s taken another step away from him. She… Oh.”

“What?” Jim asked urgently. “What is she doing?”

“I do not know,” said Ophelia. “She has left. She ran that way.” She pointed in the direction of the main doors out of the hall, and Jim turned his head to look, his lips parting and his arms falling to his sides. Ophelia sighed. “You should go after her.”

“Are you… You do not mind my leaving?”

“Of course not. The ruse has served its purpose.”

Jim bowed his head to her, and she curtsied back. And with that they parted ways, their ruse over. And it had worked. For as Jim rushed out of the Great Hall, Ophelia returned to her seat by the wall with more eyes on her than ever, knowing fully well that this time, she would not remain a wallflower for long.

MUFFY AND VICKI GO TO A WOMEN'S MARCH ON THE NATIONAL MALL - SISTERHOOD, GOSSIP, AND FUN Muffy felt a tear run down her cheek. Life was good, and she gave the woman closest to her a hug and a kiss

[stelamaris]

This is literally the same shit British Cycling pulled with Victoria Pendleton (one of Team GB's most successful female cyclists) back in 2012. She was told that she needed to step aside and make room for younger cyclists. She was 32!! Did they say this to Chris Hoy even though he was nearing 40? Of course they didn't.

Here's a recent interview where she talks about it; the only farewell gift she received after winning those medals was a HANDBAG.

Depresión y ciclismo - Una realidad cada vez más común

Son muchos los deportistas de élite que dedican o dedicaron su vida entera al deporte. ¿Qué sucede cuando los profesionales abandonan el deporte? A continuación en Merkabici hablaremos de un tabú bastante común en el deporte del que muchos deportistas no se atreven a hablar o mencionar en público. La depresión en el ciclismo es algo bastante común, durante y después de la practica de este hermoso deporte. ¿Qué pasa cuándo abandonas el deporte, y comienzas con la búsqueda de uno mismo? Cuando empieza la búsqueda exhaustiva de ¿Quién eres? ¿Qué quiero? y ¿A donde voy? Cuando abandonas el ciclismo, ya no eres aquel sprinter favorito, escalador, o gregario al que todos aplaudían durante las carreras ciclistas, te das cuenta que el mundo ha avanzado sin ti, mientras te encontrabas en una burbuja y la nueva realidad puede ser demasiado dura para muchos. Los ciclistas profesionales entrenan durante años para lograr un objetivo, muchos comienzan desde pequeños, a menudo haciendo una gran cantidad de sacrificios personales para perseguir sus más grandes sueños de gloria, para estar en lo más alto del pódium. El precio a pagar por estar en lo más alto, es un precio muy costoso que puede dejar secuelas para toda la vida. Para muchos deportistas, la jubilación es un concepto en el que no desean pensar con gran detalle. Sin embargo, ya sea que hayan alcanzado la gloria olímpica o no hayan alcanzado la cima en su deporte al que habían aspirado, la carrera de todos los atletas eventualmente llegará a su fin, ya sea por edad, lesión o agotamiento. A continuación hablaremos de la depresión dentro del ciclismo, las principales causas y por último hablaremos de la principal solución a un problema tan complejo como la depresión. Depresión y ciclismo Sufrir en los pedales mientras el placer y el dolor se entrelazan es una noción con la que muchos ciclistas pueden identificarse a menudo. Sin embargo, cuando el dolor se vuelve lo suficientemente abrumador como para seguir adelante, las alarmas deberían sonar y es tiempo de enfocarse a uno mismo. Son muchas las historias de depresión y suicidio dentro del ciclismo profesional y también dentro del deporte de élite las que han conmocionado a la audiencia una y otra vez, lo que ha llevado a preguntas sobre el grado de presión que se ejerce sobre los deportistas más talentosos del mundo. La ex ciclista de pista Victoria Pendleton reveló en una entrevista  que había "acumulado 1,5 veces la dosis de medicamentos" necesaria para suicidarse. Kelly Catlin, de 23 años también campeona mundial decidió quitarse la vida después de mostrar un impulso casi inigualable en búsqueda de la excelencia en todo lo que hizo. Kelly no solo fue una excelente ciclista, también tocaba el violín con fluidez y hablaba en varios idiomas. "Andy Sparks" entrenador de Kelly, la describía como: "la ciclista perfecta que ponía a los demás primero". Los atletas profesionales no somos inmunes a la depresión y ansiedad, el camino que hay que recorrer hacía el éxito a menudo esta plagado de confusión emocional, presión por parte del equipo, patrocinadores. Además de los estereotipos impuestos por la sociedad, en donde se visualiza al atleta como: "un ser invencible, incapaz de mostrar signos de debilidad".| La vida después del deporte Victoria Pendleton, expresó su gran alivio por la jubilación después de los Juegos Olímpicos de Londres, citando que no podía esperar para emprender nuevas aventuras en su vida y estaba mucho más feliz ahora que la presión de competir ya no era un problema. Meses después en una entrevista reveló que había "acumulado 1,5 veces la dosis de drogas" necesaria para suicidarse. La terminación de la carrera deportiva induce cambios drásticos en la personalidad, vidas sociales y ocupacionales, esto a su vez puede afectar potencialmente a los individuos cognitiva, emocional y conductualmente. Un claro ejemplo, son los problemas que ha enfrentado Jan Ullrich, el ex campeón alemán quién se encuentra en rehabilitación en un hospital psiquiátrico en Frankfurt, después de sufrir problemas de drogadicción y alcoholismo. Es genial pasar el día con este hombre. Como muchos de ustedes saben, aprecio a Jan Ulrich. Era un rival tan especial para mí. Me asustó, me motivó y realmente sacó lo mejor de mí.  Pura clase en la bicicleta.  Avance rápido hasta hoy y mi amigo está pasando por una mala racha.  No podía dejar pasar la oportunidad de venir a Alemania para pasar unos días con él.  Por favor, mantenga a Jan en todos sus pensamientos y oraciones.  Necesita nuestro apoyo ahora mismo. La transición que hacen los deportistas profesionales de una carrera deportiva a tiempo completo a la de la jubilación ha recibido considerables comentarios en los medios deportivos, sin embargo, sólo en los últimos años ha merecido un estudio académico formal.  En un estudio publicado por el Journal Psychology of Sport and Excersice, afirmaron que la transición a menudo resulta difícil debido al cese repentino de las demandas intensas del rendimiento atlético de élite, agravado por la pérdida repentina de la devoción intensa del atleta por la competencia atlética profesional y sus recompensas concomitantes. Sin embargo, para algunos, la depresión se vuelve demasiado abarcadora y, a lo largo de los años, ha habido una serie de casos de atletas que se suicidan después de retirarse del deporte profesional. Esto incluye la impactante historia de la judoca rusa Elena Ivashchenko, quien se cree que se suicidó luego de una depresión provocada por su incapacidad para ganar el oro en los juegos Olímpicos de Londres 2012. Principales causas por las cuales los atletas tienen problemas de salud mental ¿Qué es exactamente lo que a menudo lleva a los atletas profesionales retirados a caer en una espiral de depresión una vez que dejan atrás los días llenos de entrenamiento riguroso, la presión de la competencia y los días de gloria? -Accidentes en el ciclismo En artículos anteriores hemos discutido acerca de la importancia de acudir al médico después de sufrir un accidente en el bicicleta, en especial si existe la sospecha de una conmoción cerebral. Las lesiones en la cabeza son bastante comunes entre ciclistas y somos muchos quienes hemos destrozado el casco en un accidente arriba de la bici y realmente pocos quienes hemos visitado al médico justo después de sufrir un accidente de este tipo. Las lesiones en la cabeza suelen ser un denominador común entre los atletas que se enfrentan a problemas de salud mental. Estas lesiones pueden exacerbar los sentimientos de tristeza, irritabilidad y ansiedad, y pueden tener consecuencias devastadoras si se pasan por alto o no se tratan adecuadamente. Un estudio de 2018 publicado por el Journal of the American Medical Association encontró que las personas con lesiones cerebrales traumáticas como una conmoción cerebral tienen casi el doble de probabilidades de morir por suicidio que las que no tienen antecedentes. -Desequilibrio de neurotransmisores y hormonas Hay que destacar la importancia que tienen las hormonas y neurotransmisores en un atleta que está luchando por jubilarse. Los atletas han recibido dosis diarias regulares de serotonina durante muchos años, cuando esto se reduce repentinamente o se detiene por completo, vemos un gran trastorno en la química del cuerpo. Varios investigadores han explorado un vínculo causal entre un desequilibrio en los niveles de serotonina y la depresión, sin embargo, más investigaciones en atletas retirados se requieren para llegar a una conclusión. -Síndrome de visión de túnel Las cualidades necesarias para alcanzar un nivel de élite pueden significar que los mejores deportistas sea más susceptible a los problemas de salud mental. La reacciones nucleares que ocurren dentro de las mentes de los deportistas, son las mismas que los dejan susceptibles a la depresión. El síndrome de visión de túnel afecta a muchos atletas de élite en diversos grados en alguna etapa de sus carreras. Los deportistas que no son conscientes de que sufren de visión de túnel pasan demasiado tiempo pensando solo en el entrenamiento, la competición y los resultados. Como resultado, los atletas quedan mal preparados para la perspectiva equilibrada que se requiere de las oportunidades profesionales del "mundo real". El deseo de esforzarse por ser mejores, más fuertes y más rápidos es a menudo el elemento que separa lo bueno de lo grandioso. Es importante que los atletas y quienes los rodean deben mantener bajo control el impulso por el rendimiento y la perfección. A menudo, los demás no presionan demasiado al atleta, sino que se ellos mismos se esfuerzan mucho en búsqueda del perfeccionismo. Una de las señales de advertencia es vincular la autoestima personal con el éxito en el deporte y la necesidad de alcanzar la perfección, también las redes sociales están desempeñando un papel cada vez más importante en el aumento de esa presión. “Los atletas se encuentran no solo comparándose con los demás semanalmente en las carreras, sino a diario en Strava o Instagram"   -Pérdida de identidad La identidad de un individuo puede contener numerosas dimensiones, sin embargo, es posible que una en particular se vuelva dominante o preferida y sea una lente a través de la cual se ve a los demás. La identidad atlética se describe como el grado en que un individuo se identifica con el rol de atleta y busca en otros el reconocimiento de ese rol. El descuido o la atrofia de otros roles como consecuencia del predominio de un solo rol puede, por lo tanto, exponer al individuo a problemas de identidad posteriores. Se ha planteado la hipótesis de que la pérdida de un rol preferido o dominante puede afectar posteriormente el autoconcepto general de una persona. Bill Cole, un entrenador de rendimiento máximo de renombre mundial que ha trabajado con muchos atletas que han luchado por aceptar su jubilación, señaló que un factor importante era esta profunda sensación de pérdida en sus vidas que los atletas pueden experimentar después de poner fin a sus días de competiciones. A diferencia de los profesionales, el ciclista promedio probablemente no esté lidiando con la depresión o la ansiedad en relación directa con las circunstancias de su vida ciclista. De hecho, se sabe que el ciclismo y otras actividades aeróbicas son terapéuticas para las personas con ciertos problemas relacionados a la salud mental,  aunque el ejercicio por sí solo no es suficiente para alguien con depresión severa. Si bien el deporte tiene una infinidad de aspectos positivos,  cuando interfiere con nuestro sentido de identidad puede volverse peligroso. “Una vez que tomamos nuestro deporte en serio y se convierte en una parte fundamental de nuestra propia identidad, este mismo puede crear presiones y tensiones adicionales. Y, el ejercicio que una vez usamos como mecanismo para afrontar el estrés se convierte en parte del estrés en sí mismo y agrega posibles desafíos de salud mental. ¿Cómo pueden los deportistas cuidar su salud mental? Se recomienda a cualquier persona que tenga problemas de salud mental que se comunique con un profesional y hable con él. A continuación hay una serie de consejos para cualquiera que se sienta vulnerable. - Intente realmente aprender usted mismo, sus preferencias y lo que desencadena una mala salud mental. Luego, elabore un plan de cuidado personal cuando sepa que puede estar acercándose a uno de esos factores desencadenantes. - Si te comparas demasiado con otros, sal de las redes sociales por un tiempo. Dejar Strava e Instagram por un tiempo será positivo para ti. - Construya un equipo de apoyo a su alrededor con personas en las que confíe y sepa que puede acudir cuando se sienta bajo presión. No se olvidé de buscar ayuda profesional. - Lleve un diario, ya que esto puede ayudarlo a comprender lo que está sucediendo, sus factores desencadenantes y lo que puede ayudarlo cuando tenga un problema de salud mental. - Desarrolle algunas identidades personales, para que no solo se sienta como un ciclista, sino también como un artista, un cinéfilo, un fanático del fútbol, ​​de modo que si no puede andar en bicicleta por un tiempo, no sienta que se ha perdido y con ello ha perdido su identidad. Los atletas por naturaleza y convicción son individuos mentalmente fuertes y el público a menudo los percibe como más en forma, más saludables y más felices que los demás. Es esta actitud y los estereotipos, son los que pueden dificultar que se acerquen a alguien en busca de ayuda.  Por lo tanto, es muy importante que la familia, los amigos, compañeros de equipo y los entrenadores comprendan que la depresión no siempre se puede ver y que es muy probable que el atleta nunca admita cómo se siente por temor a la vergüenza.  El mensaje más importante para llevar a casa es comprender que, a pesar de su increíble éxito en cada una de las carreras ciclistas, el proceso de jubilación es difícil y es en este momento cuando el apoyo social y la comunicación son de vital importancia para el atleta.

NCIS Season 22, Episode 1 ‘Empty Nest’ is a pretty great Season 22 premiere that showcases what, twenty-two seasons in, still keeps NCIS one of the most relevant procedurals around. This is a team we care about. These are characters we love. And more importantly, these are characters we want to see interact on our screens every week.

So when the episode opens after a 6-month time jump with Jessica Knight far away from the NCIS Major Case Response Team, and with her departure having started a domino effect of everyone wanting to leave the team, it stings. We don’t want to see the members of this team go their own way. We like the way they work together. And when, at the end of the episode, everything is alright with the world and the promise of the team being back together again for good has been fully realized …well, we’ll just say that makes the little we had to suffer to get there worth the wait.

THIS WASN’T FOR ME

The Jessica Knight in NCIS Season 22, Episode 1 ‘Empty Nest’ is a Jessica Knight who has spent six months doing good work, fulfilling work, but that hasn’t felt personally fulfilled. At the end of the episode, she’s a Jessica Knight who finally, finally understands that there are more important things than “the plan.” Being happy matters. Feeling like she’s making a difference matters. And, yes, being loved matters.

So, when she tells Parker she doesn’t want to stay at Camp Pendleton, it isn’t about the job. She can do the job. And it isn’t about being scared of the next rung on the ladder, or the next one. It’s about Nick and Parker, about McGee and Kasie, and yes …it’s about Jimmy. It’s about all of those things. It’s about the people she’s found at NCIS and what she feels when she is there.

But this wasn’t the kind of lesson she could learn without trying. She had to take that job to realize what really mattered to her in life wasn’t this job, or the next one. The job can’t be your family. It shouldn’t be. And Jessica Knight is finally at a place where she doesn’t want it to be, because she realized the job was only her family when …well when she was working with her family.

176 DAYS AND COUNTING

Jessica and Jimmy are, in many ways, two sides of the same coin. The reason they broke up in the first place was bad communication, and the reason they’ve stayed broken up was once again, bad communication. But they’re both out there, counting the days they’ve been apart, even if Knight wants to put it all on Victoria. Because their relationship meant something to them, and if they could take back the breakup, they both would.

With Jessica back post NCIS Season 22, Episode 1 ‘Empty Nest’, of course, things change once again. The reasons they were broken up don’t exist anymore. And yet, they kinda do. The underlying stuff remains because it’s still stuff they haven’t discussed. They haven’t talked about Jimmy’s abandonment issues that made him break up with Jessica before she could break up with him. They haven’t talked about how Jessica never took the time to fully figure out what she wanted, because she was following someone else’s plan. And they haven’t yet figured out how to be each other’s partner in life, not when things get tough. They know how to save each other’s life. They know how to solve a case together. But that …well, that’s still a work in progress.

But the good news is that they now have time and space and that NCIS can show us that progression that their relationship sort of skipped before, mostly because of the way Jessica and Jimmy both avoid confrontation. If this relationship means anything to them, they have to find a way to talk about it. And we all know they were counting the days, so …

TRUST ME

For Parker, for the team, it’s all about trust. The phrase was thrown around over and over again in the hour – and it’s all supposed to lead up not just to the surprise of what Knight is doing, and then what Torres is doing, but also to the reveal at the end that there is a mole, and that mole is now going to be their boss.

It’s a great storyline for the season because Laroche is honestly suspect since the first moment he appears on our screens, even if he supposedly has a good reason for what he’s saying. And it works in a way that sort of puts Vance on a different side from the team, which is something we haven’t really seen. If the kids can’t get their dad to save them or believe them outright, what will they do? We will find out.

Either way, NCIS Season 22, Episode 1 ‘Empty Nest’ pulled the team apart, then it brought them back together and proved that the second option, together …well, that’s how the team works. That’s what we want to see. That’s what works. And even though that’s meta-commentary on what the show is doing, I’m pretty sure Parker and the team realize that in character, too.

Things I think I think:

The beginning is kinda sad, with Parker by himself with his pastry box. Remember when were like: there’s no way this man can replace Gibbs and then he didn’t replace him, he just …created another character we could invest in?

“In a platonic way?”

Look, counting the days you’ve been broken up is kinda …eh, not a great sign. Just saying.

“The personal stuff is the most important part” – show motto right there.

The fact that it’s Victoria counting the days makes it hurt even more, okay?

“If I wanted to jump off a bridge, would you let me?” is such a mom thing to say, Kasie.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I TRIED THAT ONCE, JESSICA? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

Working through some issues alright.

Count the times the words “Trust me” were uttered in this episode. And things still worked out!

“Where have you been?”/”I leave you alone for two minutes.” SIBLINGS ENERGY.

Jimmy, I love you, but why are you dusting her desk?

Hey, a mole storyline with the mole right there being an issue? I kinda like that
