Another episode revealing Gibbs' past.

8.5

By DexterMorgan2, Feb 23, 2013

By each episode we seem to be knowing a lot more about Gibbs and this episode shows his past in Colombia when a woman saved his life over there and moved to DC When Gibbs phone number was left at a crime scene at the beginning I expected a 9.5 episode but it was disappointing that it turned into an average episode with the potential it had.

An interesting episode...

9.0

By damonkeygirl, Mar 27, 2011

Well, i wouldn't classify this as one of my favorite episodes, it was... interesting. I particularly liked Mike in this ep. It gave us a chance to see what he was like as an agent. In interrogation, the bullpen, it was...informative. I find it interesting that people keeping ending up with files on each other. First Gibbs got one for Ducky. Trent knows what's in Vance's. And Gibbs has Vance's. And Vance has Gibbs' file (marine file anyway). Who will have who's file next?

I loved Mike's line: "everywhere you go kid, somebody gets shot." it was really funny.

The most annoying thing about this episode was that normally, i can figure the 'who done it' really early on. I didn't see this one until I saw the lady in the observation room. I was so confused with all the Columbia stuff in the beginning, I didn't really start to catch on until it was halfway over. Annoying, but good. Decent and interesting episode.moreless

An interesting episode, but not one that would be interesting the second time round.

9.0

By amazing_race, Mar 27, 2011

This was a good episode to watch, as it delved a little more into Gibbs' past, as is always nice to see! It was interesting, but as I said, not very enjoyable the second time round.

The actual case was also not that great, but the Gibbs' past scenes really made this episode what it was, and if it weren't for that, the show would've been really awful!

Not a very amazaing episode, which Is why I wouldn't recommend it too highly. However, it is interesting nevertheless, but probably not an episode that you would look forward to seeing time and time again.moreless

Gibbs' marine number is discovered on a crime scene - written in blood.

8.5

By gballigator, Aug 29, 2010

When Gibbs' marine number is written in blood on a crime scene the whole case gets a lot more personal, and we get to know something about a woman named Rose and her son. It seems as though this woman, Rose, and Gibbs' have had a love affair 18 years ago in Colombia, and Rose has had a son without Gibbs knowing about it.

Personally I never really thought it was Gibbs' son even though the writers obviously wanted us to think so – it just didn't seem right. Like someone else pointed out, NCIS is not a soap, and a son popping out of nowhere felt wrong somehow. However, the fact that Gibbs had shot the kids father was a nice and revealing twist at the end, and also explained why Gibbs wanted to help the kid so badly.

I really liked how the other team members were trying to figure out Gibbs' secret, especially Abby down in the lab and when she comes to talk to McGee about it. It was really cute and made me chuckle. All in all it was a good episode, and it's always nice when we get to learn more about Gibbs.moreless

Does Gibbs have a secret?

7.0

By saleblanc, May 30, 2010

Yeah, but ultimately not the one you think. Franks returns because someone from both his and Gibbs' past has returned or a least the son of a woman from their past. The case itself is unfortunately too believable street gangs going at each other, but you have some former members wanting to change things and join the military. One of these is Tomas, the son of Rose. A woman who once saved Gibbs' life. But it's turns out to be a bigger problem. Marine weapons are being moved from the local armory to the local street gangs. A street mom's bizarre idea of evening the odds. Some think that Tomas is Gibbs' secret son, but actually Gibbs killed Tomas' father a Columbian Drug lord.moreless

- When listing off the deadly fishes related to gangs, Tony mentions Rumblefish. This is the name of a novel by S.E. Hinton, made into a movie in 1983 by Francis Ford Coppola. It was about a young man who joins a gang out of social alienation and worship for his older brother who was a gang member. The actual Rumblefish of the story is a Siamese Fighting Fish, which is used to illustrate unreasoning gang fighting spirit.
