Ducky’s return in NCIS: Origins Season 2 Episode 13
Ducky’s return in this show’s Homeward Bound episode is more than just a nostalgic mood. Even though he hasn’t appeared often, the series has made him central to the lives of everyone around him. That choice feels natural because he has always been a character who connects people. At first, David McCallum played his character, and now Adam Campbell is doing the work of David with real care and consistency.
Ducky returned to Camp Pendleton to help an old friend, Doc Tango, who was arrested for stealing human remains from a national park. Tango explains to Gibbs, Ducky, and Franks that he took the skeleton because he believed that it belonged to one of his ancestors. Therefore, he wanted to ensure a proper tribal burial rather than being sold or mistreated by researchers.
NCIS: Origins Season 2 Episode 13 ending explained
After his talk with Doc Tango in the holding cell, Ducky decided that it was time to stop drifting through life in Washington. The last scene shows him back in his apartment and sitting on a new couch. It means that he finally found comfort in his new life and no longer shares his space with a corgi. That simple decision means that he is starting to build a real home instead of just having a place to sleep.
Before leaving, he has a warm moment with young Gibbs, where they talk about Gibbs building a boat. Later, Ducky recalls his moment with Gibbs in a heartfelt exchange with Lala.
This episode of NCIS: Origins also highlighted Mary Jo, who proved herself to be the most valuable person in the office. Viewers saw her resolve Ducky’s legal issues and secure Tango’s release from arrest. She ensured that Ducky could return to Washington with his good name protected.
