NCIS: Origins<\/em><\/a> is giving fans exactly what they want this season with a reunion between Mark Harmon<\/strong><\/a> and Michael Weatherly<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Weatherly\u2019s Anthony \u201cTony\u201d DiNozzo might be the new deputy director on NCIS<\/em><\/a>, but Harmon\u2019s Leroy Jethro Gibbs will always be his \u201cboss\u201d \u2014 and viewers will see them back together on the Tuesday, October 20, episode of the CBS prequel series.<\/p>\n

It marks the first time in 10 years that the two actors will share the screen, reprising their respective roles.<\/p>\n

During the upcoming episode<\/a> of NCIS: Origins<\/em>, Gibbs will make his way back to the agency\u2019s headquarters in Washington, D.C. to \u201cenlist the help of new director Tony DiNozzo after Gibbs was shot by unknown assailants\u201d during the Origins<\/em> season premiere earlier this month.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tMark Harmon\u2018s highly-anticipated return for the NCIS: Origins crossover episode came as a surprise for some viewers following his shocking exit. During the Tuesday, November 11, double feature, Harmon, 74, reprised his role as Gibbs in the opening scene of the prequel, where a present-day version of the character reflected on his life while in [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Harmon played Gibbs on the flagship series from 2003 to 2021, exiting during season 19<\/a>. He served as Tony\u2019s boss for 13 of those seasons.<\/p>\n

Weatherly, for his part, exited NCIS<\/em> after season 13 in 2016. He later reprised his role on the short-lived spinoff NCIS: Tony & Ziva<\/em><\/a>, which ended after one season in 2025.<\/p>\n

\n<\/blockquote>\n

Weatherly returned to NCIS<\/em> during the season 24 premiere on October 6. After helping his longtime friend and \u201cprobie\u201d Timothy McGee (Sean Murray<\/strong>) solve a case involving McGee\u2019s long-lost son, Tony was named the new deputy director<\/a>, a role he will maintain for the rest of the season \u2014 at the very least.<\/p>\n

Harmon, meanwhile, has been an executive producer for NCIS: Origins<\/em> since it premiered in 2024. The prequel series follows a younger version of Gibbs during the \u201890s in California while working at Camp Pendleton.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tMark Harmon is not the person to ask about whether Gibbs will return to NCIS \u2014 because he just doesn\u2019t know. The actor, 72, appeared on a panel at the Television Critics Association summer press tour on Saturday, July 13, to discuss narrating as present-day Leroy Jethro Gibbs on CBS\u2018 upcoming NCIS: Origins prequel series, [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This season, Harmon has stepped back in front of the camera in a bigger role as modern-day Gibbs.<\/p>\n

His season 3 story line kicked off with two men shooting him outside his Alaskan cabin, and although they left him for dead, Gibbs used a party trick he learned in the Marines to stop his breathing. The end of the episode revealed he is alive \u2014 and on the hunt for his would-be assassins.<\/p>\n
