*Gibbs ended up abducted while heading to a wedding by Vito Zucado in 1980, and had met Ducky after the latter accidentally saved him by crashing into Vito's car due to unfamiliarity with driving customs in America.
*It was revealed that Gibbs' house had formerly belonged to Ducky.
*Gibbs had missed out on every anniversary regarding McGee's becoming an NCIS agent, with it being implied that it coincided with Shannon's death.
