‘NCIS: Origins’ Returns With a Must-Watch Episode Revealing Gibbs and Franks’ First Meeting
After a brief hiatus, NCIS: Origins is back with an episode fans have been eagerly awaiting. Season 1, Episode 7 dives into the pivotal first meeting between a young Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Austin Stowell) and NCIS legend Mike Franks (Kyle Schmid). Airing Monday, November 25, at 10/9c on CBS, this episode promises to explore the roots of their iconic partnership.
Set in 1991, NCIS: Origins follows Gibbs as he begins his career at the fledgling NCIS Camp Pendleton office. Narrated by Mark Harmon, the series uncovers Gibbs’ early days on Franks’ gritty team. In Episode 7, the team investigates a murder with a heartbreaking twist—the victim, a Jane Doe, suffered from dementia, making identification difficult.
Meanwhile, flashbacks connect this case to Shannon and Kelly, Gibbs’ late wife and daughter. A heated scene in the promo shows Gibbs confronting Franks, shouting, “You were supposed to protect her!” Who was Franks supposed to protect, and how does this tie into Gibbs’ tragic loss?
This episode promises answers to lingering questions about Shannon and Kelly’s murders and the events that set Gibbs on his path of vengeance.
