Here’s yet another origin story for the young NIS probie Gibbs (Austin Stowell), with a Christmas framework providing a poignant backdrop for his sudden estrangement from his partner Lala (Mariel Molino), after she discovered the truth about his Mexican mission of vengeance before he joined the agency. As Gibbs faces his first holiday without his murdered family, he reflects back six months to one of his lowest points, when he leaves the Marines without telling his dad and is left adrift, with Franks (Kyle Schmid) keeping him at arm’s length and only an acerbic landlady (the terrific London Garcia) for company. The unusually emotional episode reveals how Gibbs finally gets his act together and becomes a member of NIS.
On the NCIS mothership (9/8c), another Christmas story unfolds, with the team helping to clear the record of a decorated Marine who’s about to be smeared by a tell-all book.
