NCIS isn’t backing off from the twist that saw Gibbs get himself indefinitely suspended after beating a man half to death, and he used his time off from work to work on his boat, feed his dog, and spill the whole damning story to a reporter (played by Mark Harmon’s real-life wife Pam Dawber) to the point that Vance dropped by for a visit to tell Gibbs that he’s more or less on his own in the aftermath.
Spoilers ahead for the April 6 episode of NCIS, called “Gut Punch.”
