The latest episode of NCIS aired on Tuesday and suggested that former team leader Leroy Jethro Gibbs may have returned to help the team. In the storyline, a long-range sniper kills a criminal tied to Director Leon Vance's death. The episode leaves the identity of the shooter unconfirmed but points strongly to Gibbs.
The CBS procedural focused on Wayne Rogers, a CID director involved in arms trafficking that resulted in Vance's death earlier this season. Rogers secured an immunity deal for witness protection, which angered Agent Parker and the team. After Rogers was shot from more than 4,500 feet away during his transfer, the agents connected the precise shot to Gibbs' known sniper skills from his Marine days.
