Warning: SPOILERS for the NCIS: Origins episode “Fools Rush In” are ahead!
The NCIS: Origins Season 2 midseason finale ended things with a bang, figuratively and literally. On the literal front, Stanley, a 22-year-old man living at The Range like Mason Franks, bombed a movie theater. While that was happening, Leroy Jethro Gibbs and Diane Sterling traveled to Las Vegas on a whim to get married, despite her about to take a job that would make their relationship long distance. Now Origins has returned from hiatus to resume airing on the 2026 TV schedule and follow up on these plot threads. Along with delivering another big Gibbs first in the process, there’s also a new shakeup with Lala Dominguez that I’m concerned about.
