NCIS fans are buzzing with theories after spotting Timothy McGee (Sean Murray) in a new behind-the-scenes shot, seemingly undercover for an upcoming episode. The snaps from Monday’s episode, In From the Cold, show McGee dressed in a beige suit, aviator sunglasses, and sporting facial hair—an unusual look that has fans guessing he’s in disguise. One fan took to social media, saying, “I have so many questions about McGee in the next #NCIS,” while others shared their own suspicions about an undercover mission.
The episode promises high-stakes drama as Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs and his team dive into a complex investigation tied to Navy and Marine Corps personnel. According to the episode’s synopsis, the team will face an intense case that will push their skills to the limit, with Gibbs relying on his instincts and experience to guide them through the twists and turns of this high-stakes investigation.
Fans are also speculating about McGee’s future on NCIS, especially since he was denied a promotion to Deputy Director in the season’s first episode, a role that instead went to Gabriel LaRoche, a former DOJ Inspector General who is rumored to be a mole. Some viewers think this could set the stage for McGee to investigate LaRoche, potentially leading to an epic storyline or even paving the way for McGee’s exit from the series after over two decades on the show. Whether this new role will keep McGee around or push him toward a new chapter remains to be seen.
