‘NCIS’ Preview: With Gibbs Suspended, His Team Is Reassigned (VIDEO)
Talk about a “Gut Punch” for Gibbs’ (Mark Harmon) team in NCIS‘ April 6 episode: Not only has their boss been indefinitely suspended, but now they’re being reassigned! (At least they’re not being separated, as has happened in the past?)
“This team has overstepped bounds,” Director Vance (Rocky Carroll) explains in the promo. He’s not wrong: In the last episode, an investigation uncovered a dogfighting ring, and when Gibbs found out their suspect was shooting and drowning the dogs that lost, he lost it and put the man in the hospital. He regretted not killing him, he admitted to Vance, leaving his boss no choice but to take his badge and gun.
And with no idea how long Gibbs will be away from the job, McGee (Sean Murray), Bishop (Emily Wickersham), and Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) will be working with other agents. Ronnie (Victoria Platt), who first appeared in the season premiere, tells them “grab your gear” in the promo and yes, it’s so strange to hear someone other than Gibbs say that to these agents. Her team includes Sawyer (Zane Holtz), who previously appeared in Season 10’s “Squall” as another character, a petty officer.
According to the logline for this episode, Gibbs’ agents are assigned to COVID compliance duty at a foreign affairs summit, and they’ll find a link to another team’s murder case. As seen in the preview below, they’re going to end up in a dangerous situation.
“Gut Punch” is also the episode that introduces investigative journalist Marcie Warren, played by Harmon’s wife Pam Dawber (Mork & Mindy). For now, all we know about her character is what we’ve seen in the photos: She and Gibbs will both be at the diner he frequents. Dawber will appear in four episodes.

The show is a favorite of many. And as far as I know, Gibbs is also a favorite. Whatever needs to be worked out in the real life realm, needs to be compiled quickly, and his return to the show must be very soon! I think all the faithful watchers would agree, he is a must! Get it done, and get him back now!

I think CBS has lost its collective mind. If Mark Harmon wants more money give it to him. He is NCIS. Without him this show is just another investigative program. Too bad "Jack" departed the series. Gibbs and Jack played well off each other. The current team members work well. If Harmon doesn't return then I think CBS will be the loser with the exodus of MANY viewers. Can the network afford that?

I would like to see Gibbs finding out he has a son that he didn't know about. And that his son is a agent working in a country he once been under cover years earlier.

ncis jumped the shark years ago. They allowed good characters to be killed off but let a weasel like dinozo slip off into the sunset. They went all PC on many issues and in general became tiresome... Adios Culos!!!

I really think its just a bunch of nothing now. Gibbs shows up hollows lets go and off they go. Not telling whete or why most of the time. They should call it the Gibbs show instead of NCIS.

I feel the way everyone here does. I've seen characters come and go on the show, and I've hated that they left, but when Mark Harmon leaves, that's it for me. The show just wouldn't be the same. Last year, I lost my beloved pet of 14 years, now, I'm losing my beloved GIBBS of 20 years. Too much, just too much. I'm not going to care about the show anymore when he's gone.

Never will be the same!

From what I've read, Harmon is ready to retire. He's been on this show 20 yrs plus his other shows. I don't think it's CBS who wants him gone. That may b why NCIS New Orleans has been canceled. Harmon is producer. It is better than NCIC LA which wasn't cancelled.

Gibbs is a pensioner now. In reality he would not be allowed to work. Let's have some new blood. Why does Mark Harmon have his son and wife working on the show? It doesn't give other actors a chance!!! Bring back Tony and Ziva!!!

We quit watching when ziva and Tony , then Abby left. The show just isn't the same. It's really went downhill. It's no surprise they're pulling this.
