NCIS Season 16 Episode 20, titled "Hail & Farewell," will take fans back to the tragic September 11 attack on Pentagon in Arlington County, Virginia. The team will be investigating the death of a Marine major that said to have a connection with Gibbs (Mark Harmon).
"NCIS investigates the murder of a Marine major believed to have been killed in the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon after human remains are discovered at a construction site," NCIS Season 16 Episode 20 official synopsis read, per TV Guide. "A personal history with the victim drives Gibbs to solve her crime."
From the looks of it, the victim may be someone that Gibbs knows. The Marine major may be a close or longtime friend he cared about or someone who he had trained and worked with a long time ago.
According to CarterMatt, Gibbs may learn a new thing about this Marine major in NCIS Season 16 Episode 20. As the investigation ensues, a few secrets may be revealed that may give Gibbs a glimpse of the past.
Gibbs is a survivor, and he has proved himself through the series. He has lost a lot of people he cared about from Shannon (Darby Stanchfield) to Kelly (Mary Mouser), his father, and workmates like Caitlin (Sasha Alexander) and Ziva (Cote de Pablo). As these things have made a mark on Gibbs' personality, the Marine major's death might also show how it affected him in NCIS Season 16 Episode 20.
Gibbs doesn't give himself much time to think. Maybe it is his way to avoid remembering the people that have come and go through his life. As he is about to return to the past in NCIS Season 16 Episode 20, different swirl of emotions may take its toll on him.
Hence, NCIS Season 16 Episode 20 may be an emotional chapter of Gibbs' life. It may bring back a lot of memories of the Marine major and the September 11 attack per se. A lot of lives have changed since that tragic event happened, so it may be painful to watch for some viewers.
It is a rare event that the long-running series will reference the 9/11 attack, so it may have something important to tell that may reveal something about Gibbs, the Marine major, or the event in general. In no time, fans are about to see what will happen in NCIS Season 16 Episode 20, titled "Hail & Farewell," as it will be out on Tuesday, April 16, at 8 p.m. on the CBS Television Network.
