Gibbs became the father figure McGee never had, making their bond particularly meaningful.<\/p>\n<p>Murray added that much of McGee\u2019s confidence and growth over the years comes from Gibbs\u2019 encouragement. If the two characters were to meet again, McGee would likely ask, \u201cAm I doing okay, boss?\u201d-still seeing Gibbs as his moral compass.<\/p>\n<p>Whether Gibbs and McGee will reunite remains uncertain. In the current timeline, Gibbs is living quietly in Naktok Bay and hasn\u2019t shown any interest in returning to Washington. While he stays in touch with old colleague Vera Strickland-who recently told McGee that Gibbs is proud of him-Mark Harmon himself hasn\u2019t suggested he\u2019ll return to\u00a0<em>NCIS<\/em>, focusing instead on\u00a0<em>Origins<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Still, many fans hope that Gibbs and McGee will share at least one more moment before\u00a0<em>NCIS<\/em>\u00a0eventually ends. For now, McGee continues to excel both at the agency and at home-something Gibbs would undoubtedly approve of.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark Harmon has continued portraying Leroy Jethro Gibbs as the narrator of\u00a0NCIS: Origins-even appearing onscreen twice in the prequel-but he hasn\u2019t been seen on the main\u00a0NCIS series&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3885,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3884","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3884","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3884"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3884\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3886,"href":"https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3884\/revisions\/3886"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3885"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3884"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3884"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3884"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
