NCIS: Origins Star Explains What The Season 1 Cliffhanger Means For Gibbs: “He Just Cannot Seem To Stop Hurting People”

Austin Stowell from NCIS: Origins discusses the implications of the season 1 finale’s twist for Gibbs and how it will shape the narrative in season 2. In the last episode of season 1, Lala Dominguez (Mariel Molino) was on her way to share some significant news with the main character but got into a car accident while trying to avoid a young girl who ran onto the road. The scene ends with Lala appearing unconscious in her vehicle, leaving her fate uncertain.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Mark Harmon (Gibbs) discusses the implications of Lala’s car accident in NCIS: Origins and for season 2. He hints that the incident might draw his character closer to his romantic interest or cause him to distance himself due to fear of losing someone dear, assuming she survives. However, Harmon expresses uncertainty about her fate, suggesting that she may not make it through alive. Read below for more insights from Harmon’s interview.

His actions could lead to massive consequences for him. Regardless of the outcome, he appears unable to avoid causing pain to others. I’m unsure if it will intensify his emotions towards her or scare him so much that he feels compelled to withdraw entirely.

1. Is she deceased? Is she in a coma? Has she become paralyzed? I don’t have any information about her current condition. However, it appears that she may have been involved in a car accident on her way to his house, which could lead him to feel an increasing sense of guilt.
2. Is she no longer alive? Is she unconscious in a coma? Has she lost the ability to move due to paralysis? I’m not sure about any of these possibilities. What I do know is that he will soon discover that she was in a car accident, as it seems she was en route to his house. This knowledge could only intensify his feelings of guilt.
3. Is she dead or alive? Is she lying unconscious in a coma? Has she suffered from paralysis? I don’t have any updates on her condition. It appears that she may have been involved in an accident while heading to his house, which might cause him to feel increasingly guilty.
