Just when NCIS fans thought they’d seen the last of Leroy Jethro Gibbs, a surprising leak from inside the writers’ room has ignited a wave of excitement. According to an alleged insider, Mark Harmon may reprise his role for a one-off guest appearance — and the occasion? Ziva David’s wedding.
The supposed storyline, still in early drafts, would see Gibbs quietly stepping out of retirement to walk Ziva down the aisle. In the rumored script, Ziva and Tony DiNozzo are finally ready to make their long-awaited commitment official, and Gibbs, who has always acted as a surrogate father to Ziva, makes the trip from Alaska to Israel for the ceremony.
The episode would reportedly be packed with emotional callbacks, from McGee’s heartfelt toast to Abby Sciuto sending a special gift from afar. There’s even chatter that a flashback scene could show Ziva telling Gibbs about her engagement in a quiet café — a nod to the intimate, understated moments that defined their relationship on the show.
CBS, naturally, has declined to comment, but fans have already flooded forums with excitement. Some are dreaming about seeing the entire old team back together, even if just for one perfect, emotional farewell.
Whether the rumor is true or not, the idea of Gibbs returning for such a personal moment has NCIS devotees more hopeful than ever.
