Get Ready for Mark Harmon’s Epic Return as Gibbs in NCIS: Origins! But Will He Make a Sooner Comeback in Season 21 for a Heartfelt Tribute to Ducky Mallard?
In light of McCallum’s passing, the CBS procedural NCIS intends to pay homage to the cherished medical examiner-turned-historian with a special episode. The plot will revolve around the team resolving a case that Ducky was handling before his passing.
Considering Gibbs’ enduring friendship with Ducky predating the series, it’s only natural for him to attend the planned funeral.
Fortunately, NCIS season 21 won’t need to heavily feature Harmon’s return, given his pivotal role in the franchise’s legacy. Instead, Gibbs can respectfully pay his respects at Ducky’s funeral with minimal fanfare.
Gibbs doesn’t need to engage with other characters, such as Tim McGee, despite their longstanding professional ties. Gibbs’ main focus is to honor his old friend and bid him a proper farewell.
