‘NCIS’ season 13, episode 2 preview: What’s next for Mark Harmon, cast in ‘Personal Day’

We don’t think we are ushering in much of a spoiler here in saying that Agent Gibbs survived on the season 13 premiere on “NCIS” Tuesday night. The story was never really about that mystery so much as it was trying to piece together how Gibbs moves past that and how his injury and near-death experience shapes the team.

We will see at least in part a different side of Mark Harmon’s character on next week’s new episode “Personal Day,” as the character will show up with a slightly different look. Given that he has done things a certain way for the past dozen or so years, isn’t it about time to see him change things up? We don’t think that the synopsis below is the most extensive one in the world, but it does give you a sense that there will be even more mythology for Gibbs explored over the course of the hour:

“Gibbs calls on the team to assist DEA Agent Luis Mitchell (John Gabriel) with a case that keeps going cold, but DiNozzo discovers there is more to Gibbs’ personal connection to the agent and his desire to help him succeed. Also, the team gossips about Gibbs’ new look after he replaces his standard military haircut and polo shirt for a modern cut and tailored dress shirt.”

By the time we make it to the end of this particular episode, let’s just hope that we’ve got a story that delivers most of everything that you could possibly want to see when it comes to character development. We’re not sure what it will bring for the supporting characters, but there will be more chances for them later this season.
