Gibbs (Mark Harmon) gets a special visit from his father (guest star Ralph Waite) in this week's holiday themed NCIS, continuing its latest season on Sunday, September 12th at 8:30pm on 3.

Even though the episode takes place during Christmas, and sees a Gibbs family reunion, series star Rocky Carroll (Leon Vance) warns that this will not be a heart-warming instalment. "Gibbs is still coming to terms with his dad," Carroll tells Zap2It.

"We'll get a little more sense of their relationship, but we'll never get warm and fuzzy because that's not who Gibbs is. But the fans will get what they want."

Carroll says fans will continue to see more of the family lives of their favourite characters in the second half of the season. Robert Wagner, for example, will join the cast in the series' 150th episode as the father of Tony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly).
