12 years before they shared the screen, the\u00a0NCIS<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0franchise finds a way to highlight just how much Leroy Jethro Gibbs would rely on Abby Sciuto. Prior to the flagship\u2019s pilot in 2023,\u00a0Gibbs\u2019 MCRT team first debuted in\u00a0JAG<\/em><\/a>\u00a0a year earlier. Back then, some of the inaugural cast of the police procedural were already part of the squad, such as\u00a0Michael Weatherly\u2019s Anthony DiNozzo Jr., David McCallum\u2019s Ducky Mallard, and Pauley Perrette\u2019s Abby Sciuto<\/strong>. They eventually became vital members of Mark Harmon\u2019s original group in the\u00a0NCIS<\/em> pilot, but his relationship with their forensic scientist was special.<\/p>\n

Gibbs had different dynamics with all members of his team in\u00a0NCIS<\/em>. Because he handpicked them, their camaraderie both personally and professionally helped them become very effective in their job. That said,\u00a0Gibbs\u2019 relationship with Abby was different<\/strong>. The no-nonsense leader of MCRT tended to have a soft spot for his forensic scientist and her love for anything goth and the\u00a0caffeinated drink, Caf-Pow<\/a>. He was always gentle and protective when it came to Abby, and she rewarded him by being fantastic at her job.\u00a0NCIS: Origins<\/em>\u00a0episode 4, \u201cAll\u2019s Not Lost\u201d proves that Gibbs also needed her.<\/p>\n

Gibbs\u2019\u00a0NCIS: Origins\u00a0<\/em>episode 4<\/a>\u2018s case hits close to home for the grieving father, as Mike Franks\u2019 team deals with a missing girl, who witnesses a brutal murder. Dealing with the heartbreaking murder of his first wife and daughter, Shannon and Kelly, he does everything in his power to make sure that the mystery is solved \u2014 including being very thorough with his investigation. A big part of that is sending various samples and items to be tested by their forensic scientist, Woody.<\/p>\n

If anything, being very thorough when sifting through evidence was a big part of why Gibbs\u2019 MCRT was so good in\u00a0NCIS<\/em>\u00a0.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Considering how many things Gibbs leaves, even before Franks and Randy get to the lab, Woody is understandably swamped. While this can be chalked to him being extra-motivated to keep the little girl safe, it\u2019s also a trait that sticks with him as he climbs the organization ranks and leads his own team. If anything, being very thorough when sifting through evidence was a big part of why Gibbs\u2019 MCRT was so good in\u00a0NCIS<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Gibbs\u2019 Reliance On Forensic Analysis For Evidence Highlights Abby\u2019s MCRT Importance<\/h2>\n

MCRT Struggled When Abby Wasn\u2019t Around<\/h3>\n

Throughout his time in\u00a0NCIS<\/em>, Gibbs played a father figure to the majority of his subordinates. However, Abby\u2019s child-like sensibilities likely reminded him of Kelly, who died when she was just 8 years old. That said,\u00a0NCIS: Origins\u00a0<\/em>episode 4 highlights how much Gibbs relied on the forensic scientist\u2019s work in doing his job effectively. Having an evidence-based investigator boss,\u00a0Abby was tasked to test everything for any kind of residue and other clues to find suspects<\/strong>. Sometimes, she even thought outside the box and recreated the whole crime just to fill out some narrative gaps for the MCRT.<\/p>\n

NCIS Has An Unsolvable Timothy McGee Problem<\/a><\/h5>\n

NCIS has a big problem concerning the handling of Sean Murray\u2019s Timothy McGee, and sadly, season 22 makes it clear that it\u2019s likely unsolvable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

There were times in\u00a0NCIS<\/em>\u00a0when Abby was not around to do her usual job, and the team struggled to move forward with their cases. Despite having access to the lab and having some very intelligent other members, no one else could do the work so much more efficiently than she did. Abby\u2019s replacement, Kasie is still good at her job, but arguably,\u00a0NCIS<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0doesn\u2019t put as much emphasis on the forensic lab\u2019s work now compared to how it did before when Perrette\u2019s character had command of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
