The story starts with Mark Harmon’s Gibbs and his team investigating a robbery under the radar. Things take a hilarious turn when Gibbs accidentally sets off a security alarm, bringing in a patrol officer played by Eric Stonestreet.
Stonestreet’s character, full of comedic energy, pesters the team with questions about NCIS hiring policies and grumbles about his security gig. His back-and-forth with Gibbs is pure gold, and he even returns at the end for a fun twist. (which won’t be spoiled here, don’t worry)
