NCIS: Origins’ Bosses Reveal Mark Harmon’s Question After Key Gibbs Voiceover

Is someone going to be joining Gibbs (Mark Harmon) in Alaska on NCIS: Origins?! That’s a valid question after a recent episode-ending voiceover on the prequel — and if you had it, you’re not alone.In Episode 7, “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” which aired on December 2, Gibbs’ voiceover about Wheeler (Patrick Fischler), dealing with the fallout of his wife leaving him after learning he was still seeing Oakley (DaJuan Johnson), laid the foundation for someone — besides the dog revealed in the crossover — to join him.

“I spent a lot of my time alone. Alone in my kitchen, eating dinner. Alone in my basement, building a boat. [When] you spend a lot of your time alone, you get used to it. If you’re not careful, it starts to become a habit. Things are simpler when you’re alone. You got nothing to lose. So you push people away until they leave. Or you go someplace no one can follow, like the middle of Alaska,” Gibbs said. “I learned to like being alone, or maybe that’s just the thing I tell myself until someone shows up to share a steak by the fire.”
