I can't speak for other NCIS fans, but I thought last night's episode resolved the Kate-Ari-Gibbs storyline nicely.
Those of us jolted by Kate Todd's death last season got a chance—along with the team members—to come to terms as Sasha Alexander appeared in various costumes and attitudes as Kate's memory haunting each team member in a special way.
In the end, it was revealed Ari killed Kate to torment Gibbs, who reminded the terrorist of his father, the deputy director of Mossad. Ari sets up an ambush in Gibbs's basement, but finally Gibbs does not kill Ari himself. Instead, Ari's control at Mossad, his half-sister Ziva, shoots him in the head while Gibbs looks on.
Blood pools around Ari's head. He is most certainly gone.

I doubt Ari's death was faked because Gibbs was in the room when it happened. If Gibbs had simply been told of Ari's death or assumed Ari was killed in an explosion or the like, then the door would be open for a return.
The way it played out, Gibbs had ample opportunity to kill Ari had Ziva's shot not done the job.
I would like to see Ziva eventually get in hot water over the shooting, but Ari's "return from the dead" would be too much of a stretch.
