'NCIS' Season 14 episode 18 spoilers: Gibbs reopens an accidental death case; fans get a glimpse of Torres’ past in ‘MIA’

Avid viewers of “NCIS” know that when their beloved agents are on the job, there’s no case that they can’t tackle. Season 14 Episode 18, titled “MIA,” centres on Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon), who leads his team as they re-investigate a closed case that was originally considered an accidental death.

Spoilers suggest that it’s going to be an emotional episode – the “NCIS” crew will reportedly open the probe to honour a sailor’s dying wish. They discover that contrary to the previous finding, the victim did not die accidentally but was actually murdered. Gibbs, along with his team, may be reminded that this is what their job is all about: bringing forth justice.

Gibbs joins other “NCIS” characters who will also be featured on the March 14 episode, including Alexandra “Alex” Quinn’s (Jennifer Esposito), Timothy McGee (Sean Murray), Eleanor Bishop (Emily Wickersham), Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen), Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette), Leon Vance (Rocky Carroll), Nicholas “Nick” Torres (Wilmer Valderrama), Dr Donald “Ducky” Mallard (David McCallum) and MI6 Officer Clayton Reeves (Duane Henry).
