Since Mark Harmon’s retirement from NCIS, fans have been avidly waiting for news about Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Season 21, episode 2, “The Stories We Leave Behind,” provides an unexpected insight into Gibbs’ current predicament.

Despite Harmon’s absence, NCIS soldiers on with former FBI agent Alden Parker stepping into the leadership role. The team has weathered transitions before, proving their resilience and dedication to the job.

Gibbs left in season 19, leaving fans wondering about his fate. While the show has been discreet about his whereabouts, episode 2 drops a tantalizing update.

In wake of David McCallum’s death, NCIS dedicates the most recent season 21 episode to farewelling the renowned medical examiner-turned-historian. Instead of spending the entire hour reminiscing about Dr. Mallard, the Director assigns the team to solve a case that he was working on before dying away. Ducky has worked with all iterations of the NCIS team, thus it was expected that some of the original cast members would return for the tribute. Gibbs was an ideal contender for the role, given his pre-show acquaintance with Ducky.

Don’t miss out on the latest developments in the NCIS universe as the mystery surrounding Gibbs deepens in this gripping new episode!
