NCIS S22 E8

So like am I just coping or am I valid im expecting Abby or Gibbs to pop up at some point in this season? I’m sure I am probably 100% REACHING, and maybe it’s happened before and I just can’t remember it Rn. Any how the episode last night name dropped Abby and Gibbs (TWICE). Which is not that odd at all, but I feel like they never name drop previous characters unless they plan on showing up.

I’m only coping i’m sure.
