NCIS: Origins has had a few plot holes so far, but the show’s latest episode just fixed one of its biggest mysteries about Mark Harmon’s Gibbs. Since its premiere, NCIS: Origins has mostly followed NCIS canon by featuring key characters and moments from Gibbs’ life in the early 1990s. The NCIS spinoff has especially ventured into Gibbs’ grief following the death of his wife and daughter
As Austin Stowell’s Gibbs has mourned his old life, he has turned into a comparably softer character than Mark Harmon’s Gibbs in NCIS. The NCIS prequel even shows the young Gibbs attending a veterans’ support group. The character differences between Harmon’s and Stowell’s Gibbs have become one of the show’s biggest plot holes, but NCIS: Origins episode 15 just solved it.
