The departure of Mark Harmon's iconic character, Leroy Jethro Gibbs, from NCIS in season 19 left a void that could never truly be filled. After gracing our screens for over 400 episodes, Harmon, a veteran actor of 70, decided to step away from the most-watched drama on television. While the possibility of his return remains uncertain, one thing is for sure: Gibbs' presence continues to loom large, both in the storyline and in the hearts of his fellow agents.
A Quiet Departure, A Lasting Impact
Gibbs' farewell in season 19's "Great Wide Open" was understated yet poignant.
Finding peace amidst the Alaskan wilderness, he bid adieu to McGee (Sean Murray) and the rest of the team.

His image still graces the opening credits, and his name is the first to be uttered in each episode. He's a constant presence in their memories, his past actions continuing to shape their present. The winter premiere episode, "Pledge of Allegiance," offered a particularly touching reminder of Gibbs' enduring impact.
