It was reported that the actor who stars as lead character Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs is only going to appear in a limited capacity for the new season. Fans got a hint of Harmon's speculated exit in the season 18 finale.

Viewers saw Gibbs supposedly being killed off when his boat exploded, but his body wasn't seen. Before then, Season 18, Episode 10, gave a shocking twist to the storyline when Gibbs beat up a suspect following an illegal dogfighting ring.

The episode ended with Gibbs being suspended as he turned in his gun and badge, suggesting that his time as an agent is over. Season 18 of "NCIS," which ended in May, was filled with many unexpected deaths.

One of such deaths that took fans by surprise was that of Tobias Fornell's daughter, Emily, who relapsed in episode 9 and overdosed at home. Several fans took to Twitter to cause an uproar over the emotional episode.
