Warning! Spoilers ahead for NCIS: Origins season 2, episode 6 “Happy Birthday.”CBS brings back the original female detective actor in Leroy Jethro Gibbs' team to NCIS after 22 years. Because of how prominent the procedural has become, it's often easy to forget that it started as a spinoff of the legal drama, JAG. Similar to the majority of its spinoffs in the NCIS universe, the flagship was launched via a backdoor pilot that introduced Mark Harmon's character and his team to viewers as they solve a case involving some of the most prominent characters in its parent show.
