I still see Jimmy as the happy, talkative apprentice of Ducky so seeing him cry, and not just cry but break down like that, it breaks my heart. I'm literally in tears
I see Jimmy as a happy-go-lucky kind of fella, sort of the person who spreads cheerfulness. When life gets in the way, Gibbs lets his guard down and provides support when you least expect it.
Jimmy is so great he has been here since 04 and since then we don't see him like this and at this point I'm very sad and I don't know if we will see him like this again...
Tony was a good person, a loyal friend and dedicated agent.....but he was also very juvenile and had SEVERE boundary issues(especially with Kate) He needed Gibbs watching him over the shoulder.
Dude is a phenomenal actor. I hope he will get his own show that he can make into his own. I don't mean another NCIS show of course. I mean like a show that he can make his own that also last 18 seasons.
When Jimmy started crying and then said that he never got the chance to say goodbye to her was just so heart-breaking to me! It's really sad this part is to me.
i know this feeling. my dad was only 48 years old when he died. i never even knew he had anything wrong with him. also didnt get to talk to him as often as i would have liked. so not only did hearing that he had died, but later i find out he had something wrong with his lungs.....both of those hit me like a ton of bricks because i didnt get to say goodbye. or at the very least, have one last fun chat with him.
The last time I saw Gibbs comforting someone was when Delilah was in the hospital and Mcgee was freaking out. Gibbs may be a hard ass, but when somebody was going through what Mcgee or Jimmy did, he lent them his shoulder
@@lonhebert well, Delilah, Mcgee's wife, had almost OD'd while working on wedding invitations. So before finding out anything, Gibbs went to the hospital to try and calm Mcgee down and think about a positive outcome. And after Mcgee found out that she was all right, he also found out that she was pregnant
The writers at NCIS must really love Brian, because he always seems to have the best NCIS moments. First with Keep Going, where he just smashed it, and now this. This is one of the few times I cried watching a TV show, and it really was just phenomenal writing and acting.
Don’t forget About Face! His struggle with having a completely normal reaction to being shot at, while being surrounded by ultra-competent field agents, is a marvellous character study.
Before Gibbs and McGee were kidnapped, this would never have happened. He is a changed man and for the better of it. An amazing scene that brought me to tears. He has changed so much since the return of that incident, getting mental health help, seeing his team for what they really are and appreciating them, it’s been an amazing transformation to watch. So proud of that character evolution.
I must respectfully disagree with you on that assumption. Gibbs is closed off for reasons, but will open up when it is truly necessary. In this case Gibbs is probably the only one who really understands what Jimmy is going through. Neither got to be there when their wives died, neither got to say goodbye.
@@AtkOfTheMox Plus even though the situations was different Gibbs understood the pain of losing a child even though the baby Jimmy was trying to adopt was still alive Gibbs may have understood for Jimmy it was like the dream of having a baby died.
This whole thing triggered the hell out of me. 8 and a half months, I still try to rebuild my body and life after being infected, remembering my friends who haven't made it. Fact that NCIS can touch so many REAL things just hits you right in the heart. In loving memory of all those who lost their lives to Covid19.
My wife and I have just got through Covid, and it's probably the worst I've felt in my entire life. Except that I'm the unfit one, the disable one, the somewhat frail one. Yet my wife, who was fit and healthy, and holds my family together, is still having serious problems breathing, has lost a lot of her strength, and is suffering constantly from the after effects. I managed to get this far before I started crying. The thought of losing my wife to this terrible disease is utterly terrifying. Right now, I think I'm the most scared I've ever been. Sorry to unload on you a little, but unless someone has been through it, they really don't understand.
@@diogenesesenna9323 I don't know what it's like to watch someone you love struggle with that disease but I know what it's like to watch someone else struggle with illnesses like terminal illness. Most scary thing ever. All you can do is hope for the best and prepare for the worst. I hope she's doing well now. I hope you all are doing well.
This hit me hard. My Wife passed just at 27 years old because of Cancer. Still affects me daily. My soul mate all through middle school and High School.
I hate that the writers decided to give Jimmy this heartache but love that it gives Gibbs the chance to help someone else that he knows and loves deal with a heartache he knows too well.
Gibbs or Vance can empathize with him about the sudden senseless loss of a spouse. Gibbs has been there for Jimmy in hard times before. Vance can help him with his daughter and keeping Brenna alive for her. So much tragedy
I still cry sometimes because I miss my parents. my dad died when I was just a little kid and I'm in my 30s now. I will never stop missing them no matter how much time passes.
9 years with my father, 6 with my mother. I'm ok with my mother passing since she was sick for 20 years, but I will always remember her last words to me. Sick and dying in the hospital, couldn't have food or drink since she was bleeding into her stomach. All she wanted was a drink of water or ice chips and I kept saying no because she couldn't. The last thing she said was " I hate you, your mean to me". I try and remember that she wasn't coherent and on deaths doorstep but that still hurt. I'm still stuck on the anger phase with my father. He had a heart attack in a psychiatric office, but no one started c.p.r. or used the a.e.d. machine that was on the wall. All they did was call 911 and wait for the first responder that took 10 minutes to arrive. He died due to lack of oxygen to the brain.
That scene was so heartbreaking. The actors were amazing and it really hits home because so many people out there can relate to exactly what Jimmy is feeling in that moment.
Mike might not have seemed sympathetic, but he let Gibbs sneak a peek at the case file so he would know where the guy who killed his wife and kid was and he got him a job at NIS to give him a focus and a way to rebuild his life.
Anybody else notice that when Gibbs got him to talk, he went through 4/5 stages of grieving? And the fifth one is shown as the last scene of the episode?
I love Gibbs. He doesn’t show emotions , he often tries to be cool calm and collected on the job. But when his team or should I Say his kids needs him he will be there for them . sure Vance Or ducky could have done this talk but I think Gibbs was the one who should .
So many people have experienced exactly what Jimmy has in these recent times. I'm glad at least one drama hasn't skirted around the issues that we're facing today.
This hits close to home knowing it very well could have been me or my sister who never woke up from our own infections. That it could have been my family going through these stages. May you and your families stay safe. This too shall pass in time.
My dad woke up from his. 4 people in intensive care with him didn't and this is in the UK where healthcare is free and people don't have to worry about the monetary costs
Jimmy is a great character, and this scene shows such a depth of emotion. I think one of my other favourite episodes (the title or season I cannot recall) is when Jimmy tries to talk a suicidal man off a ledge. He sits up with him on the ledge, clinging onto his belt to prevent the man from jumping, and it's just such an emotional episode. Top of my list for Jimmy, really well done
@@NCIS-Fan_ I’ve loved watching not only Brian grow as an Actor but Jimmy’s growth as this character has been fantastic and well acted. So did they write Breena off dying of COVID? I have only watched up to season 15. Netflix needs to get all seasons on!
@@jenniferd264 yes as they wanted to show how covid was impacting the world but also the actors. The actor that played her had been retired for a few years as well so it was best way to show the impact without losing a main character
I love that this is one of those shows that you love each character for who they are. Every qwuirky awkward adorable scary or angry moment they have. They become your tv family so when one of them is hurting it hurts you too. Jimmy i think has always been the kind adorable little brother. To see him cry is pain. Im so happy Gibbs of all people was there for him. I wish i could take jimmys pain away.
When my family and I watched that episode we all were in TEARS! (mainly me) I had to take about 5 minutes to calm down after this scene because it felt so real! Especially after recently losing my Grandfather, this makes it even more emotional. Brian is sometimes so underrated in his acting it makes me want to punch a wall!
Gibbs was the only one who could have talked to Jimmy about this. Only those two shared the feeling of never being allowed to say what they wanted to say before it was ripped away from them. Fucking heartbraking.
My Stepdads best friend Died of COVID. My Neighbors Mom. A friends 3 yr old died. It just goes on and on. They handle these things really well on NCIS. The growth for all of these actors has been a privilege to watch.
When he said that he felt like he was in a nightmare and he was going to wake up and see his wife. I felt like that and even said that when my grandpa passed away 4 years ago with me in the same room with him. The feelings for losing a loved one never go away, and when you think you're in a nightmare, you wish you would wake up. and i still feel like that when i think back to that day 4/18/2018 the day i was heartbroken and couldn't bring him back. Please reach out to your friends, family whoever you want and talk to them about how your feeling
I'm sorry you lost your Grandpa. I have similar feelings about my dad. It seems like everywhere you go, you still see your dad. I'm an only child who is also a nurse. Caring for my dad was very difficult, like getting my heart ripped out. I had no respite. Yes, I can relate to feeling like you're trapped in a never ending nightmare. So sorry about broadcasting my feelings. Sending virtual healing hugs to you.❤🙏🏻😢
Let us not forget: NCIS became Gibb's family when his was taken away; he said so himself after Harper Dearing bombed the Naval Yard back in 2012. My condolences to you Jimmy.
This scene portrayed a harsh reality of how Covid really affected everyone's lives. My stepdad was in the hospital in March 2020...No one could go see him. We could only check up on him by phone. It was really hard not being able to see him. He died a month later.
My sincere condolences for your loss. It’s a horrible situation. I know this comment is written a year after yours, but please know that you are not alone. God bless. ❤
@@pogo1140 so fucking what. Brian gets one, maybe two centric episodes a season. She didn't deserve to die. Especially to a disease that's real and is effecting the world still currently.
Poor Jimmy. He's such a sweetheart. I was so hair when he met Breen a and they got married. Then they had Victoria and did the sweetest thing giving her Ducky's moms name. And now he's lost Breena and trying to do the job of 2 parents to a small child while doing his job without Ducky by his side. It was sweet when he called Ducky like he did. A Gibbs hug is always helpful. It breaks my heart even if it is just a TV show. I hope this isn't a prelude to him being the next character to leave the show, that would just suck.
Through out the series Gibbs has been a father and a brother to his coworkers and team. He has held these people together through out every hardship and battle they fought. Always knew what to say and how to handle any situation. The show wont ever be the same with him gone. His character growth was amazing to witness but thankfully the one thing that stayed constant was his care for the people around him. Yea he changed after Paraguay but his love stayed the same.
When something bad happens to me, I always find one good thing that came out from struggling through it. And that one thing is understanding exactly how someone else who is currently going through what I did, the same thing, is feeling. I am able to mourn with them. Hurt with them, and love them so very much.
This was a very touching seen. And everyone is correct in saying the Gibbs is the perfect father figure on the show. I just want to point out one thing. I am someone who is still currently binge watching every episode of NCIS starting with season 1 and I'm currently on season 10 of already seen every episode all the way through season 18. It's still shocking to me to see how much Mark Harmon has aged. He started off a spry and semi youthful 50 something in the first season and now he is officially transitioned into full-on Grandfather look. It is crazy to see how much he's aged. And yes I know it's natural 2 Angel but I'm a 40 year old man who has seen Mark Harmon in countless TV shows like the Chicago Hope and other movies that he's been in when he was much younger and to see him now it's hard to picture him as the People magazine sexiest man alive which at one point he was.
Alot of my favorite scenes and the ones that got me emotional were with Jimmy in them......when he was on the ledge and holding on to a jumper and talking about Gibbs when he lost Shannon and Kelly on the radio, when Jimmy and Casey were trapped in the lab with the deadly gas, the episode where Ducky passed away, when Him and Breena were going to adopt but the birth mother changed her mind and him and Gibbs had a moment in the garage........I believe Jimmy is the most underrated character on that show.
Man this show is like Grey's anatomy(haven't watched it or ncis in a long time) where everyone seems to die. Seems like both shows never let the characters have love. For keeps anyway.
i can completely understand jimmy, i lost 4 of those i love the most, at first there were a few times when i just woke up in the morning and hopped or thought it was all a bad dream and and i could see them again any second but then i realised this is reality and they're really gone, i try my best to live my life and i am happy i am not gonna lie here but... sometimes that fact that they're gone keep randomly pop in my head and i can't seem to shake it off, actually i am kinda greatful for that because the first one i lost happen when i was a kid and i just kept on living my life i was so not focoused on that anymore that i almost completely forgot about her and rememebered her long 5 years later and i was reminded by the second one.
@Anthony Abbett the virus is very real. People are dying from it. It’s mentioned that she wasn’t awake when jimmy sent the letter. That says that she was in a comatose state. She probably had complications from fluid in the lungs.
@Anthony Abbett just a question: how old do you think I am? If someone misunderstands something outside of the sphere of the Internet, do you call them a child? If you tell your spouse to wash the clothes and they wash the reds instead of the darks because they misunderstood you, would you call them a child? Or would you have compassion?
They weren't using the character and the actress who played her has been retired from acting for a few years now. They wanted to show how the pandemic was affecting the team and this was the most powerful way to do it. It also allowed them not to have to sacrifice a main cast member to do it.
Gibbs may be cool on the outside,but he feel everyone pain. The only way he can forget for a while in when he is in the basement. That's his sanctuary.
Season 18 was a hell of a ride. This episode especially was tragic to watch. Every scene we just watch Jimmy a hairpin off of a cliff about to fall off an just explode. We love him so much and he lost so much
What happened to Breena? Netflix only shows up to season 15! Jimmy has grown more than many of the characters on the show. I’ve always loved his and Gibbs relationship. I’m glad they’ve kept Jimmy. On the show too.
I lost my cousin Jodi in March of this year. I haven't gotten over it and was distraught due to her death. I feel the same way Jimmy does. I didn't get the chance to say goodbye to my beautiful cousin.
I know what it's like to lose someone and not get to say goodbye. That's how it was when a few of my friends died, same with when my uncle died, and some others. Even then, with the ones who I did get to say goodbye too, I still have some regrets. I regret not asking them certain questions that now I've been wondering about for a long time. I regret that I wasn't always able to be there. Right now, I've taken a break from school and working and stuff. Doing alot of reflecting and it's painful. Trying to get past that first step in grieving because I just lost a friend recently too, 9 months ago.
Oh I did more than cry at this.....I bawled like a little school girl, and as I watch the scene all over again, the tears are trying to well up. Gibbs is still in the grieving process. I lost my dad 6 days before my 37th birthday, and it's been more years than I want to admit. Mostly for questions I would never get the answer to, just to hear him say he loved me or he was proud of me. Just once.
Fcking miss Gibbs,he may not been the most talkative man but he talked when it mattered, when it was important,and he supported 1000% even if it meant his demise,really miss him and the group dynamic with him.
Just watched this episode last night and it is a real tear jerker. I know its "just a movie" but couldn't help myself especially when everyone gathered together and Jimmy read his letter 😥😥😥😥

But he treated Tony like shit

This and when their adoption fell thru.
It was Gibbs that he turned to when Breena lost the baby so it was inevitable that Gibbs would be the one for this too. 😪
When the adoption fell through. Not from when Breena was pregnant.
Odd Socks, see my previous comment.
@@josephgable6826 they were initially planning to adopt a child, a newborn. But when the birth mother saw her child, she changed her mind.

I'm a huge ncis fan and I just cried watching this.
You and me both
Same this just broke my heart
Gibbs was the only one who could have talked to Jimmy about this. Only those two shared the feeling of never being allowed to say what they wanted to say before it was ripped away from them.
Fucking heartbraking.
To many people are going through this
My Stepdads best friend Died of COVID. My Neighbors Mom. A friends 3 yr old died. It just goes on and on. They handle these things really well on NCIS. The growth for all of these actors has been a privilege to watch.
What is worse than losing someone you care about is losing someone you cared about who wouldn't feel the same way about you
When Gibbs and Palmer got that togetherness it was amazing , and we all miss Brina
Such a wonderful, heartbreaking scene.
When he said that he felt like he was in a nightmare and he was going to wake up and see his wife. I felt like that and even said that when my grandpa passed away 4 years ago with me in the same room with him.
The feelings for losing a loved one never go away, and when you think you're in a nightmare, you wish you would wake up. and i still feel like that when i think back to that day 4/18/2018 the day i was heartbroken and couldn't bring him back.
Please reach out to your friends, family whoever you want and talk to them about how your feeling
I'm sorry you lost your Grandpa. I have similar feelings about my dad. It seems like everywhere you go, you still see your dad. I'm an only child who is also a nurse. Caring for my dad was very difficult, like getting my heart ripped out. I had no respite. Yes, I can relate to feeling like you're trapped in a never ending nightmare.
So sorry about broadcasting my feelings. Sending virtual healing hugs to you.❤🙏🏻😢
@@hollygolytely3478 Awe, I am so glad you reached out! Thank you for the hug!
This scene is so intense💔❤
I know 😢. I needed tissues for this scene. Poor Jimmy.
Jimmy ‘s pain is bringing tears to my eyes his pain is mine I am sorry Jimmy
Let us not forget: NCIS became Gibb's family when his was taken away; he said so himself after Harper Dearing bombed the Naval Yard back in 2012. My condolences to you Jimmy.
To think he was in the movie "From Justin to Kelly" to "NCIS" still to this day shocks me and amazes me. 👏
HOW DARE THEY HURT JIMMY!
This scene portrayed a harsh reality of how Covid really affected everyone's lives. My stepdad was in the hospital in March 2020...No one could go see him. We could only check up on him by phone. It was really hard not being able to see him. He died a month later.
My sincere condolences for your loss. It’s a horrible situation. I know this comment is written a year after yours, but please know that you are not alone. God bless. ❤
Man this really tore out my heart 😭
God i love this show
Gibbs May seem like a hard ass bastard. But when it comes to those on his team there isn’t anything he wouldn’t do.
Brian Dietzen.. finally getting to show his talents. This scene just makes me cry every time I watch it.
This scene was sweet but killing her off was so unnecessary
NCIS kills off a lot of it's characters.
@@pogo1140 so fucking what. Brian gets one, maybe two centric episodes a season. She didn't deserve to die. Especially to a disease that's real and is effecting the world still currently.
It was not sweet, it was heart breaking. I know , I lost my wife suddenly never got say good by either!
@@roysimmons9806 I’m so sorry for your loss, I meant more bitter sweet
One lesson I learned: Never love someone sooo much that it tears your heart out when you lose them.
This is the worst lose ever for NCIS...I cried for hours..because it reminded me of my wife's death
Gerard Faulk I lost my mom Ada Wallace R.I .P she died from a blood clot in a hospital room I miss my mom so much 😭😭
Me too, it reminded me of my mom's death a year ago, and I have to learn how to go through one last stage of grief which is anger.
@@prestonhastie5566 first I was angry and then sad
Lost my beautiful wife of 34 years almost 8 years ago. She was 58 years young! Like Jimmy said,a nightmare every day.
Poor Jimmy. He's such a sweetheart. I was so hair when he met Breen a and they got married. Then they had Victoria and did the sweetest thing giving her Ducky's moms name. And now he's lost Breena and trying to do the job of 2 parents to a small child while doing his job without Ducky by his side. It was sweet when he called Ducky like he did. A Gibbs hug is always helpful. It breaks my heart even if it is just a TV show. I hope this isn't a prelude to him being the next character to leave the show, that would just suck.
Gibbs as much as he’s a closed person. He really can speak wisdom to those that he really loves.
Through out the series Gibbs has been a father and a brother to his coworkers and team. He has held these people together through out every hardship and battle they fought. Always knew what to say and how to handle any situation. The show wont ever be the same with him gone. His character growth was amazing to witness but thankfully the one thing that stayed constant was his care for the people around him. Yea he changed after Paraguay but his love stayed the same.
This show had moments so profound it could touch your heart.
Palmer has always admired Gibbs best episode was Palmer on the ledge talking not knowing everyone heard him. Such a beautiful episode ❤❤
When something bad happens to me, I always find one good thing that came out from struggling through it. And that one thing is understanding exactly how someone else who is currently going through what I did, the same thing, is feeling. I am able to mourn with them. Hurt with them, and love them so very much.
"I never got to tell her goodbye" THE PAIN
Jimmy Palmer my condolences for your loss of your wife and I am crying for your loss.
I think this hits hard the most, because its so real....so close to home with a lot of viewers...
I was sad to hear about Breena's death. She was one of my favorite recurring characters.
I am watching NCIS for the first time, and I am on Season 2. Seeing these two, looking so much older, makes me sad.
This was a very touching seen. And everyone is correct in saying the Gibbs is the perfect father figure on the show. I just want to point out one thing. I am someone who is still currently binge watching every episode of NCIS starting with season 1 and I'm currently on season 10 of already seen every episode all the way through season 18. It's still shocking to me to see how much Mark Harmon has aged. He started off a spry and semi youthful 50 something in the first season and now he is officially transitioned into full-on Grandfather look. It is crazy to see how much he's aged. And yes I know it's natural 2 Angel but I'm a 40 year old man who has seen Mark Harmon in countless TV shows like the Chicago Hope and other movies that he's been in when he was much younger and to see him now it's hard to picture him as the People magazine sexiest man alive which at one point he was.
6 years ago I lost my wife. You never get over it.
Alot of my favorite scenes and the ones that got me emotional were with Jimmy in them......when he was on the ledge and holding on to a jumper and talking about Gibbs when he lost Shannon and Kelly on the radio, when Jimmy and Casey were trapped in the lab with the deadly gas, the episode where Ducky passed away, when Him and Breena were going to adopt but the birth mother changed her mind and him and Gibbs had a moment in the garage........I believe Jimmy is the most underrated character on that show.
This is one part that I still pay attention to and every word
Palmer is my favorite character. So when i learned that his wife died, i was like noo not my babyy
Man this show is like Grey's anatomy(haven't watched it or ncis in a long time) where everyone seems to die. Seems like both shows never let the characters have love. For keeps anyway.
both of the shows killed off characters the size of a small village. It's ridiculous
@@HABO2210 Ever hear of Murder She Wrote? She lived in a small village that had an unbelievable murder rate.
i can completely understand jimmy, i lost 4 of those i love the most, at first there were a few times when i just woke up in the morning and hopped or thought it was all a bad dream and and i could see them again any second but then i realised this is reality and they're really gone, i try my best to live my life and i am happy i am not gonna lie here but... sometimes that fact that they're gone keep randomly pop in my head and i can't seem to shake it off, actually i am kinda greatful for that because the first one i lost happen when i was a kid and i just kept on living my life i was so not focoused on that anymore that i almost completely forgot about her and rememebered her long 5 years later and i was reminded by the second one.
Why did the writers HURT MY BABY JIMMY LIKE THIS?
@Anthony Abbett the virus is very real. People are dying from it. It’s mentioned that she wasn’t awake when jimmy sent the letter. That says that she was in a comatose state. She probably had complications from fluid in the lungs.
@Anthony Abbett you said “fakedemic” implying the possibility of your opinion being that the virus wasn’t real. Try to keep up.
@Anthony Abbett Oh, no argument so you resort to insulting my intelligence and age?
@Anthony Abbett or you could be CLEARER and not be a jerk to anyone who misunderstands you.
@Anthony Abbett just a question: how old do you think I am? If someone misunderstands something outside of the sphere of the Internet, do you call them a child? If you tell your spouse to wash the clothes and they wash the reds instead of the darks because they misunderstood you, would you call them a child? Or would you have compassion?
....I wasnt expecting to board the Feels Train.
This is the second time that Gibbs has hugged Jimmy, I think
Yup. First was in Gibbs' basement.
@@blackspider2274 Which episode?
@@katherinkeegan8601 "Keep Going" (Episode 13, Season 14)
i recently lost my mom to cancer and this scene just describes perfectly how i feel.....just a mess of emotions
I wish they didn’t kill her off this sucks.
And that's exactly why they did it. There are, alot of people out there that wished that their loved ones didn't die from Covid.
They weren't using the character and the actress who played her has been retired from acting for a few years now. They wanted to show how the pandemic was affecting the team and this was the most powerful way to do it. It also allowed them not to have to sacrifice a main cast member to do it.
I would’ve preferred they killed off Delilah instead. I just hate her character!
If anyone knows what it’s like it’s Gibbs!
@@Loyalty80 🤦🏻♂️
I lost my husband to cancer almost a year ago I loved watching NCIS
I appreciate that the series basically skipped going through Covid but focused on the aftermath instead.
Gibbs may be cool on the outside,but he feel everyone pain. The only way he can forget for a while in when he is in the basement. That's his sanctuary.
This I think the saddest of moments on NCIS, but there was a lot of them. I can’t imagine losing a wife at that age.
I. MISS. GIBBS.
Season 18 was a hell of a ride. This episode especially was tragic to watch. Every scene we just watch Jimmy a hairpin off of a cliff about to fall off an just explode. We love him so much and he lost so much
Seeing Jimmy crying for the first time hit me hard.
The writers of NCIS must really have a thing for widowers, Gibbs, Gibbs Senior, Vance, Tobias, Di Nozzio senior and now Jimmy. Watch out Delilah😥😥😥
Not to jinx it, but I think they already took their best shot at Delilah. Long before they were married and a couple times since.
Ziva is still alive
Tony isn't a widower because Ziva isn't dead
Apologies, I meant to write Di Nozzio senior
@@barneystinson6937 you are right I meant to write Di Nozzio senior
What happened to Breena? Netflix only shows up to season 15! Jimmy has grown more than many of the characters on the show. I’ve always loved his and Gibbs relationship. I’m glad they’ve kept Jimmy. On the show too.
She passed away from covid
Paramount + has all the seasons.
I really missed Abby in this scene she would’ve hugged him and stay like that until he was ready to let go
May 16th, 1993, approximately 3:05 AM-when my world shattered and never did get fully fixed properly. Still miss my dad.
I lost my cousin Jodi in March of this year. I haven't gotten over it and was distraught due to her death. I feel the same way Jimmy does. I didn't get the chance to say goodbye to my beautiful cousin.
Sorry for your loss, I hope things are easier now.
I know what it's like to lose someone and not get to say goodbye. That's how it was when a few of my friends died, same with when my uncle died, and some others. Even then, with the ones who I did get to say goodbye too, I still have some regrets. I regret not asking them certain questions that now I've been wondering about for a long time. I regret that I wasn't always able to be there. Right now, I've taken a break from school and working and stuff. Doing alot of reflecting and it's painful. Trying to get past that first step in grieving because I just lost a friend recently too, 9 months ago.
Oh I did more than cry at this.....I bawled like a little school girl, and as I watch the scene all over again, the tears are trying to well up. Gibbs is still in the grieving process. I lost my dad 6 days before my 37th birthday, and it's been more years than I want to admit. Mostly for questions I would never get the answer to, just to hear him say he loved me or he was proud of me. Just once.
There are shows, that never were seen on season 18 dvd. I hope they are included on the season 19 dvd set.
Fcking miss Gibbs,he may not been the most talkative man but he talked when it mattered, when it was important,and he supported 1000% even if it meant his demise,really miss him and the group dynamic with him.
Gibbs is good at many things, this is what he is best at.
Gibbs knows when they can handle it and when they need help thats why he is a great leader and father figure to his team
Just watched this episode last night and it is a real tear jerker. I know its "just a movie" but couldn't help myself especially when everyone gathered together and Jimmy read his letter 😥😥😥😥
poor jimmy, i never thought something like this would happen
wow that so true gibbs is always a good guy and friend
Gibbs is the best, knows just what to say
Does he have kids? I know he tried to adopt one back when I was still watching the show in idk S11. But it didn't work out. Did they try again?
He has one daughter, Victoria
Victoria Elisabeth Palmer. Named after Ducky's Mother
Breena had gotten pregnant a short time time after the adoption attempt.
Just a matter of 10 episodes or less.
That’s about the time I quit watching the show.
Nobody can understand the pain someone goes through when they lose their loved ones except the one who have gone through the same drill...
