Relationship Time Line
Season 1
  • Episode 1: Gibbs, Ducky and Dinozzo head over to Air Force One to respond to the collapse of a Naval officer carrying the football. Kate was Secret Service and met Gibbs when he arrived, she was the only Secret Service agent onboard when they took off, because Ducky told everyone else to get off because he needed space. Gibbs and Kate bonded really fast on that flight, and at the end of the episode, Gibbs offers her the job with NCIS.
Season 2
<< add information here >>
Season 3
Kate is dead, Gibbs is hungry for the revenge of Kate's death. (Kill Ari 1&2)


What could have been....
  • Kate Todd and Jethro Gibbs had a funny beginning in there relationship as Kate refused to let Gibbs be her superior. Yet overtime she realized that he was her superior and began to respect that.
  • Some people view there relationship as Father/Daughter ,but most the the viewers view it as romantic or sexual , considering of the fact they saw each other like a man and woman first,and after that like superior/ subordinate,and considering the an-explicit flirting:the looks exchanges, a smile, a little touch,the complicity,nothing is so clear or evident and,because of that, it's more interesting and more deeper.The ones who see Gibbs and Kate like a couple are the ones who realize attraction doesn't ask to see your ID.
  • However these two were genuinely close, as loose friends considering Gibbs is not a close friend with anyone.Kate and Gibbs worked well together.There relationship was like more of a tough love one. Kate didn't see Gibbs like her father.Remember 1.23: Reveille ?
    • BASSAM. Who's Gibbs? Who is Gibbs?
    • KATE. My boyfriend.
  • Not to mention the Yankee White-because of the tension between Gibbs and Kate DPB added the the redhead,who pick up Gibbs form time to time , and the all""Emergency blow" thing,where Kate falls into Gibbs arms.:)
  • However when Kate was killed Gibbs was genuinely traumatized and overwhelmingly guilty. As Ducky said "You and I are a couple of old chauvinists, women will never be equal in our eyes" this is where some of us see the father/daughter relationship between the two, with Gibbs wanting to protect her,.In Ducky's words"This is different" some of us can see their relationship like more than a Father/Daughter,because of the Gibbs answer "But it shouldn't be. Kate was an agent.She knew she had to lay her life on the line. But you're right.lt's different."
  • Gibbs always controlled his emotions – always! We had seen him in situations when not only he himself, but also his team and countless other people had been in mortal peril, their living or dying depending on his decisions, to be made in a split of a second – and he always had appeared unimpressed by the pressure, been cold to the heart. There are only two occasions, when his control and self-discipline had failed: The grief for his dead wife and daughter when he had awoken from the coma after getting hit by the blast of an explosion – and Kate’s death.
  • Based on their interaction in "Yankee White" we can see that Gibbs feelings toward Kate were anything close to fatherly. After all, she's definitely a strong-willed woman,something /we see that in the latest ep./ all his women have been. Kate and Gibbs saw something in each other when they first met on Air Force One.After he hired her, her admiration for him grew. It's clear she tried to impress him with her investigative skills .We can easily see that Kate feels an attraction to Gibbs (like who wouldn't?) He may feel something, too, but we all think he'd be better at hiding - or ignoring - it. She would try to hide it, but find herself staring, or sketching, or something.
  • Both of Abby and Tony sketches were caricatures whereas the one of Gibbs was a serious one.It's clear that TPTB want us to understand that she respected him and so her sketch depicts him as she sees/admires him.
  • How Gibbs would handle Kate's attraction - probably the same way Grissom in CSI handles Sara's fancy for him - trying to pretend it's not there, and that he doesn't feel the same due to some silly belief that work is more important. Before Kate died, we saw a lot of subtext with her and Gibbs. A woman like Kate can catch Gibbs and keep him. And Kate can learn from him through not only the job, but life.They make each other 'whole' in some way.
  • This ship had the potential to be perfect, but it didn't happen. Neither of them wanted to give into their hearts.Both Kate and Gibbs were understandably wary of coworker relationships . Gibbs had his problems with Jen/his partner and ex-lover/; Kate had her thing with Major Kerry/her college and lover/. Neither was about to make a move, especially within only two years of knowing one another. Gibbs' true feelings about Kate are known only to him and Kate's caricature of Gibbs remains a mystery. Kate respected Gibbs more than she did Tony, though, and possibly he respected her more than Tony did. Some of us also think that Gibbs after three divorces would know when to compromise and his personality is more similar to Kate's than anyone of the team.Gibbs liked Kate a lot"-remember his amused tolerance of her faults and ignorance of all things naval,that feeling that no matter what,he was always make sure she was OK , that sense that he is torn between professional respect and a chivalrous,old fashioned need to take care of her as well as the occasional urge to throttle her.Maybe he had feelings for her, but can't/won't recognize them because she is so different from his usual kind of woman. Without Kate in the picture, I fear we will never again see that side of Gibbs, which her character brought out.
