Gibbs didn’t appear in the flesh in the Big Easy on NCIS: New Orleans, as he was busy dealing with issues in his own office thanks to the kidnapping and ultimate recovery of Director Vance.
The Vance situation didn’t stop him from pitching in to help the New Orleans agents while Pride was out of commission, however.
He also dropped a piece of advice that had to shock any NCIS fan.
He made contact via video call with LaSalle, who was clearly emotionally compromised as he searched for answers about tracking down Pride’s shooter.
