NCIS 2021: Viewers expose major plot hole with Gibbs' boat 'How did he get it out?'

It could be the last we’ve seen of Special Agent Ellie Bishop (played by Emily Wickersham) after tonight’s shocking episode of NCIS. However, as the CBS series begins another lengthy hiatus, much of the audience were preoccupied with trying to fill in one of the show’s biggest unsolved plot holes.

Fans were completely baffled by a particularly glaring plot hole in this week’s NCIS season finale, ‘Rule 91’.

This week’s jaw-dropping episode may have featured the last appearance of Ellie Bishop as she purposefully ruined her NCIS career to go undercover with the CIA.

Her tearful farewell kiss with Nick Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) made emotional wrecks of much of the audience, who were left praying the agent hadn’t departed the series for good.

However, plenty of other viewers got to the end of this week’s engrossing finale with just one question on their minds; how did Gibbs get his boat out of the basement.

The now suspended Special Agent in Charge has been building his own seafaring vessels since the very first season of NCIS.

Gibbs’ latest project became the centre of one of the show’s most explosive cliffhangers in recent years as, when he finally took it out on the water, it blew up for unknown reasons.

Although it was thankfully confirmed that Gibbs had made it out alive, several fans were baffled that he managed to move the boat out of his basement in the first place.

The question became a trending topic on Twitter amongst NCIS enthusiasts once the finale had wrapped up on Tuesday.

Gibbs’ miraculous ability to get his boats out of his tiny basement has all but become a running joke for the series at this point.

The question was actually put to him by his young neighbour, Phineas (Jack Fisher), a couple of episodes, leading some to believe that the series would finally provide an answer.

Unfortunately, tonight’s episode disappointed curious fans once again by cutting straight to the boat out on the water in its full glory without revealing Gibbs’ mysterious methods.

Another frustrated viewer said: “No, no, no, NCIS, you did not have us watch Gibbs build that boat for seven years to not let us see how he got it out of the basement. Don’t do us dirty like that.”
