The highly anticipated season finale of NCIS: Origins has left fans on the edge of their seats, delving deeper into the early years of Leroy Jethro Gibbs—the legendary character we’ve come to love in NCIS. With a mix of action, emotion, and classic Gibbs stoicism, the finale not only tied up loose ends but also set the stage for future storylines.
In this blog, we’ll break down the key moments from the finale, explore Gibbs’ evolving legacy, and discuss what fans can expect next.
Gibbs’ Backstory: A Glimpse Into His Formative Years
NCIS: Origins takes us back to 1991, showcasing Gibbs as a young, driven NCIS agent under the mentorship of Mike Franks. The season finale, titled “Gibbs’ Rules,” gave us deeper insight into the origins of some of Gibbs’ famous rules—particularly Rule #9 (“Never go anywhere without a knife”) and Rule #18 (“It’s better to seek forgiveness than ask permission”).
One of the most gripping moments was seeing Gibbs confront his past traumas, including the lingering grief from the deaths of his first wife, Shannon, and daughter, Kelly. The finale subtly hinted at how these tragedies shaped his no-nonsense personality and relentless pursuit of justice.
Lala’s Role: A New Perspective on Gibbs’ Journey
A surprising standout in NCIS: Origins has been the character of Lala, a fellow agent whose dynamic with Gibbs adds depth to the storyline. The finale revealed a shocking twist—Lala’s loyalty was tested, leading to a dramatic confrontation that left fans questioning his true allegiance.
Did Lala betray Gibbs, or was he working undercover? The finale left this question unanswered, setting up a major plot point for Season 2. Given Gibbs’ later distrust of certain colleagues in the original NCIS, could Lala’s actions be the reason?
