This won’t be the first time that we’ve peeked in on Leon Vance’s life outside of the NCIS offices.
Since Jackie’s death, Vance has done his best raising his two children, and as evidenced in Season 15’s “Family Ties,” he still deals with parental challenges.
Every now and then the show has peeked in on Vance’s interactions with his family, including when Vance’s wife Jackie was tragically killed in the Season 10 episode “Shabbat Shalom,” the same episode that Ziva David’s father, Eli, died.
NCIS will always be primarily focused on the main characters solving U.S. Navy and Marine Corps-related crimes, but it’s nice when the show carves out time here and there to show what these characters do when they’re not enforcing the law.
