NCIS spoilers tease that in the next episode of NCIS airing April 6, Leroy Jethro Gibbs’ (Mark Harmon) team is being reassigned while he is on suspension! The name of the episode is “Gut Punch” and it certainly sounds like it will live up to its name!
NCIS Spoilers – The Team Is Reassigned
Director Leon Vance (Rocky Carroll) explains that Gibbs’ team has overstepped bounds. Vance assigns Special Agents Timothy McGee (Sean Murray), Nicholas Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) and Eleanor “Ellie” Bishop (Emily Wickersham) to COVID compliance duty at a foreign affairs summit where they will be working with other agents. Apparently the rest of the squad, consisting of Forensic Technician Kasie Hines (Diona Reasonover) and Coroner Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen) stay back at NCIS headquarters.
Bishop, Torres, and McGee work with 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 NCIS Special Agent Dale Sawyer (Zane Holtz), who previously appeared in Season 10’s “Squall” as another character, a petty officer.
While working with them, they also discover a link to another NCIS team’s murder case. As usual, they end up in a dangerous situation, although probably no more dangerous than the last one, which ended with Gibbs being suspended and now them reassigned. NCIS viewers will recall that a dogfighting operation had been discovered, with Torres and Kasie caring for one of the dogs they rescued in the NCIS forensic lab. Gibbs wound up adopting the dog after going ballistic on the man who caused that dog’s injuries and the deaths of several others.

NCIS Spoilers – Mark Harmon Works With His Real Life Wife Pam Dawber Starting In This Episode
This is also the episode that introduces Pam Dawber, formerly Mindy of “Mork and Mindy” and also known as the older sister in “My Sister Sam” as investigative reporter Marcie Warren. This is the first of four episodes she will appear in, and she is the real life wife of Mark Harmon, who of course plays Gibbs. Gibbs and Marcie strike up a friendship at a diner that Gibbs frequents but it is unclear if the relationship will go any farther than a friendship, or if Gibbs and Marcie might be investigating anything together. Gibbs’ suspension will last at least through the end of the current season of NCIS, and renewals have not yet been announced by CBS.
The NCIS team will also be working with the reassignment team, although we do know that there will possibly be a funeral in one of the remaining shows that Gibbs will attend, thanks to an on-set photo that Wilmer Valderrama posted on his Instagram account recently. The team was all dressed in black or dark gray and the photo was taken in an outside setting. Upcoming episodes are titled “Sangre” and “Misconduct” although synopses were not yet available as of this writing, nor their airdates. However, the word “sangre” is the Spanish word for blood, so that sounds like there will be a bloody murder investigation – but then, most every NCIS episode has had one of those or even worse!
Stay tuned to NCIS, and keep checking NCIS spoilers frequently for all the latest news, updates and developments!
