Gibbs and Tony to Reunite in ‘NCIS: Origins’

Mark Harmon and Michael Weatherly are set to reunite as Leroy Jethro Gibbs and Tony DiNozzo in an upcoming episode of NCIS: Origins, CBS announced. The episode is scheduled to air Tuesday, October 20, on CBS and stream on Paramount. It has not yet aired, so the reunion and its events remain ahead of viewers. In the episode, Gibbs returns to NCIS headquarters in Washington, D.C., to seek help from Tony, who is now the agency’s director. The plot follows the NCIS: Origins third-season premiere on October 6, in which Gibbs was shot by unknown attackers. CBS’s episode description says the reunion comes as Gibbs turns to Tony after the attack. The actors’ characters last shared the screen a decade ago, according to the supplied reports. Weatherly left the original NCIS series after its 13th season, while Harmon’s return to the prequel marks a shift from his role as narrator. Harmon has appeared on screen in the current season as part of a present-day storyline, alongside the show’s account of Gibbs’s earlier career. The reunion connects the prequel’s contemporary mystery with the character’s past. Showrunner and executive producer David J.
