“Mark Harmon’s NCIS Return: Gibbs to Pay Tribute to Ducky in Season 21 Episode!”
Fans eagerly await Harmon’s reprisal of the iconic Gibbs role in NCIS: Origins, exploring his character’s early days in the organization. However, whispers suggest an earlier return in NCIS season 21, notably in an episode dedicated to bidding farewell to David McCallum’s beloved character, Ducky Mallard.
Following McCallum’s passing, the CBS procedural plans to honor the esteemed medical examiner-turned-historian with a dedicated storyline. The team will tackle a case Ducky was investigating before his demise.
Given Gibbs’ enduring friendship with Ducky predating the series, it’s fitting for him to attend the planned funeral. Fortunately, Harmon’s return won’t overshadow the episode, as Gibbs respectfully pays his respects without much fanfare.
While Gibbs won’t necessarily interact with other characters like Tim McGee, his sole focus remains honoring his old friend and bidding him a fitting farewell.
