It would not be a significant “NCIS” anniversary if we weren’t subjected to a Gibbs rule — a type of little items of knowledge that Leroy Jethro Gibbs let slip all through his time on the present. The bromide utilized in “A Thousand Yards” is “there is no such thing as a such factor as coincidence.” That proves to be painfully true when it is revealed Lindsey Wexler, the internet-based squeeze of Leon Vance’s estranged son, Jared, is the daughter of the terrorist who tried to take down Air Pressure One in “Yankee White,” the present’s very first episode.
The case is blown open by Tobias “T.C.” Fornell (Joe Spano) whose large Season 21 return was spoiled by Sean Murray’s Instagram photograph. Fornell recollects {that a} reference Wexler comes forth with was as soon as uttered by a former foe of Gibbs. That is only one approach that Leroy Jethro Gibbs’ presence is felt within the a thousandth episode of “NCIS,” although Mark Harmon did not movie new footage.
One of many neatest and quickest Easter eggs employed by “A Thousand Yards” is using Agent William Baer, Jr. (Jeremy John Wells) — a member of the Secret Service who’s finally liable for grounding Air Pressure One and saving the lifetime of the president at Kasie’s mayday request. He’s the son of William Baer (Gerry Becker), who was Caitlin Todd’s (Sasha Alexander) boss earlier than she joined the crew. It is a candy gesture that proves the “NCIS” staff is all household.
