Before the episode ended, Gibb’s boat was blown up and viewers saw him swimming away from the wreckage. Now, fans are wondering what’s next for their beloved character.

NCIS Spoilers – Leroy Jethro Gibbs Will Be Angrier

In an interview with TV Insider, Binder said that “it’s not clear what state he’s in.” He hinted that Gibbs is now angrier more than ever since the boat, which he spent 10 years building, was destroyed.

“[The killer has] opened up a serious can of whoop-a**,” Binder teased. He added that Gibb’s anger could lead to his downfall. NCIS’ team leader is currently suspended for assault. Given that the explosion will make him much angrier, Gibbs may end up destroying his career.

The producer added that Gibbs has a lot of issues and they won’t go away even if he decides to return to his former life in NCIS. The character’s heart is pure but he’s always been a troubled soul, which makes it difficult to say if he can move on from this incident or if he can cope with life without his job.

“He’s going to cross lines that will make you both love and hate him,” Binder revealed.
