‘NCIS’ First Look: See Who Will Help Gibbs Battle the Cartel
When CBS’ top-rated ‘NCIS‘ kicks off its eighth season on Tuesday, September 21, tensions will remain high as the closing moments of the May finale play out.
The good news, Rocky Carroll (who plays Director Vance) tells Fancast, is that unlike in some memorable past season openers, everyone on the team “is still alive and well.”
That said, he teases, “We’ve got a few old scores to settle.”
Among those stubborn foes is the Reynosa cartel, which still looms as a significant threat to Gibbs (Mark Harmon) and his team. When last we tuned in, cartel kingpin (queenpin?) Paloma had just entered the store where Jackson Gibbs (Ralph Waite), Jethro’s pop, works.
In the aftermath of that showdown Gibbs gets a visit from his mentor, Mike Franks (played by returning guest star/’Prison Break’ alum Muse Watson).
The reason for Franks’ arrival on the scene? To offer Gibbs a much-needed assist in his campaign to neutralize the Reynosa threat once and for all.
Watson/Mike Franks isn’t the only encore to watch for this season. As previously reported by Fancast, both Robert Wagner (as DiNozzo’s dad) and Michael Nouri (as Eli David) are also due to return.

I really want to know if Gibbs's dad is dead or not ...
ReplyDeleteGood news for the two other dads!
Yay the return of tony & ziva's dad's
ReplyDeleteVery Cool news I hope these means Jackson Gibbs survives the season opener.
ReplyDeleteBoth dads coming back wonder if it could turn out to be another battle of the "in-laws and out-laws" could there be an attempt at nuptials for two team mates????? never know! lol
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear Mike Franks is going to be around. He adds so much to the show when he's there. Very few guest stars can hold their own with the talented cast of NCIS, and he is definitely one of them. I really hope they don't kill him off, I enjoy his character.
