TheNCISspinoffhas especially ventured into Gibbs' grief following the death of his wife and daughter.
His decision to be vulnerable to strangers is a major step in his emotional progress.
However, it contradicts Gibbs' later emotional capacity in the flagship series.
Mark Harmon’s Gibbs is stoic, cold, and reserved.
The reserved Gibbs inNCISdoes not correlate with the young and emotionally matureGibbs inNCIS: Originsseen attending support groups.
He has not felt comfortable sharing his struggles in return.
However, Gibbs' issues have nothing to do with Franks.
He has become both a mentor and a friend to Gibbs because Gibbs has let him in.
Therefore,the support group is not helping Gibbs because he won’t let it help him.
Listening to other people’s struggles can only help so much.
Unfortunately,NCIScanon shows that is not the case.
When he joined NIS in the early 1990s, he learned how to throw himself into his work.
InNCIS, Gibbs also struggles romantically.
Gibbs' struggles in his personal life could connect back to his inability to fully process his grief.
