Tonight’s episode of NCIS is not going to be an easy one to watch. It should also be a wonderful tribute to a beloved character on the series.

We’re onto the tribute episode for Donald “Ducky” Mallard. David McCallum sadly passed away in September 2023. We knew that the series had to do a good tribute episode, and the writers have not disagreed. Brian Dietzen has co-written the episode as a way to say goodbye.

What to expect in NCIS Season 21, Episode 2

We know that this is going to be a tribute episode. It looks like we’ll learn that Ducky has passed away under natural circumstances. That is the only way that we can properly say goodbye. Allow us to mourn a life well lived rather than spend the last episode looking for his murderer.

However, Ducky will still be an important character as we say goodbye. He was working on a murder investigation, and that’s the investigation the team will pick up as a way to honor his last moments.

Honestly, it’s the dog that gets me in the trailer. Please tell me that Palmer takes the dog to have a piece of Ducky in his life.

Check out the promo and synopsis for NCIS Season 21, Episode 2:

"As NCIS mourns the loss of Ducky, the agents find comfort in working on one of his unfinished cases involving a woman whose father was dishonorably discharged from the Marines."
