The new trailer for Ducky Mallard’s NCIS season 21 tribute episode features Leroy Jethro Gibbs and Anthony DiNozzo. After a thrilling premiere that dealt with Nick Torres’ case, NCIS season 21 ended on a cliffhanger that set the stage for arguably its more emotional episode of the year. In light of David McCallum’s death, the long-running police procedural is paying homage to both the actor and his beloved medical examiner-turned-NCIS historian.
In the new trailer for NCIS season 21 episode 2, “The Stories We Leave Behind,” Ducky’s death is tackled, but the clip also prominently features both Gibbs and DiNozzo in flashbacks.
In the video, Jimmy Palmer walks into Ducky’s house with coffee, but he is surprised to find him lifeless on his bed, likely having died in his sleep. The subsequent shots show Tim McGee looking at an old photo of him, Ducky, and Gibbs, while the rest of the current squad decides on the best way to honor Ducky. Surprisingly, the NCIS season 21 episode 2 trailer also includes a flashback with Gibbs and DiNozzo.
