The multi-part tenth season finale was of special interest to me as a JAG fan. NCIS: L.A. showrunner R. Scott Gemmill, a producer on JAG Seasons 2–4, was able to bring David James Elliott and Catherine Bell aboard for a Tom Clancy-esque plot in which Callen and Sam needed help from Harm and Mac.
It was also a chance to resolve the open ending of JAG's final episode. Part 1 found Harm as the executive officer of the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Allegiance, where Callen and Sam had tracked multiple conspirators in a attack against Saudi Arabia and Israel. But Harm was still a captain, implying he retired for a time. In Part 2, Mac, Marine liaison to the Secretary of State, ruefully told Hetty Harm lost the coin toss and moved to San Diego with her. After five years, he itched to get back in the fight.
While I'm not entirely happy with these developments, they are true to the strong-willed characters Harm and Mac are. Overall it was one of the most satisfying series reunion updates.
