Season 1
High Seas: Tony was really jealous of Stan Burley because he and Gibbs seemed to get along so well and Gibbs gave Stan a hug when he first saw him.Tony spent a great deal of time competing against Stan to get Gibbs attention and approval.Finally as they're leaving to go back to NCIS Gibbs shakes Stan's hand and Tony comments that after all the time he and Gibbs worked together he never once shook his hand, to which Stan replied: "I was with the agency two years before he looked me in the eyes, three for him to call me by name, four till he got it right.By then I had kinda gotten used to Steve.He must really like you." Left for Dead: When the boiler in Tony's apartment blew and he needed a place to stay, no one would let him stay with them including Gibbs who tells Tony, "You remember what happened last time." But at the end of the episode, Gibbs tells Tony his door is unlocked, letting Tony know he has a place to stay. Missing: After Tony is rescued he continues to badger Gibbs to admit that he was worried about him, when Gibbs doesn't respond Tony asks if he doesn't care.Gibbs turns to face him, pats him on the cheek, and tells him he is irreplaceable.
Season 2
Chained: Gibbs doesn't show his worry or concern for Tony, but Kate is able to see through it and points out that Gibbs is really worried about him. SWAK: When Tony had the plague, Gibbs gave Tony an order not to die, therefore giving him something to live and fight for.Then placed Tony's cell phone in his hand and when he's leaving you can see Tony clinging tightly to the phone.
Season 3
Frame Up Gibbs seems concerned about Tony's position and tries to help him at all costs.Also, while Tony was in the holding cell, Gibbs came to visit him bringing him his favorite pizza and just stood and listened while Tony vented his worries, letting him get it all out in the open.When Tony asks "I'm not getting out of this one am I?" Gibbs motions him forward and gives him a headslap to which Tony replies "Thank you, boss." Then Gibbs tips his finger under Tony's chin, in his own silent way telling him to keep his chin up, he would be okay. Boxed In: Gibbs is obviously worried when they lose contact with Tony and Ziva, when McGee is worried they might have been killed and asks if they should put divers in the water, Gibbs replies: "They're not in the water. McGee, if they were in the water, they would be dead. If they we're dead, I'd know about it."
Season 4
Blowback: Gibbs finds out Tony's has been on an undercover op. for the director; Tony apologizes to Gibbs for not telling him.
Season 5
Bury Your Dead: After Jenny tells them Tony has been working undercover and he may have been compromised, Gibbs becomes worried about him, and the look of shock is very clear when they see his car explode. His anguish and torment is also very clear when they go to Tony's crime scene, it's very rare that Gibbs shows this much raw emotion. When Tony returns and he and Gibbs are speaking with the director, Gibbs looks very proud when Tony stands up to her.
Season 6
Last Man Standing: Despite Vance's persistence in replacing Tony with a new agent, Gibbs continues to refuse, only accepting Tony to take back his place as senior field agent. Gibbs, of course, gets his way in the end and manages to get Tony back on the team. Also, Gibbs seemed happy to see Tony and vice versa when they met up during the case before Tony was able to return home. At the end of the episode Gibbs welcomes Tony home with a handshake. Agent Afloat: When on video conference with Gibbs and McGee, Tony pretends to be talking to family members, but sounds quite sincere when he says he loves and misses them, and also when he calls Gibbs 'Dad' at the end of the conversation. Collateral Damage: When Vance says he wants less agents like Tony, Gibbs points out he means he wants less agents like Gibbs, confirming the similarities between the two. Bounce: Gibbs hands over the case to Tony, gives him his phone for the case, and even follows Tony's orders. And when Tony seems to doubt himself and beat himself up for the screw up, Gibbs seems concerned and pulls him aside and admits that he's proud of Tony and he just needs to get his head on straight.
Season 7
Flesh and Blood: Some very good moments in this episode between them.At one point, Gibbs pulls Tony's Father aside and calls him on not staying in contact with Tony and not being there when he had the plague, he also tells him he shouldn't waste the chance he's been given to know Tony as adult. Later, in MTAC, Tony is telling Gibbs about his father and how he's not the man he always thought he was.Gibbs just listens and gently pushes Tony to talk when need be.And finally, at the end of the episode, Tony turns up at Gibbs' house, bringing beer, as Gibbs is cooking.They sit down (flipping out identical knives) and share a meal as they discuss Tony's father.They're both comfortable in each others presence and it doesn't appear to be the first time that Tony has went to Gibbs house and they've shared a meal together.A very good father/son episode.

Quotes
Do ya THINK, DiNozzo?
"Thank you Boss" after being head slapped.
Tony: I screwed up. Gibbs:Yeah, ya' did.Three years ago.And now you're making it right......and me proud.You're doing....a hell of a job, Anthony.

Gibbs: DiNozzo. Tony: Pa? Gibbs: Take care of yourself. Tony: Miss you too, dad.

McGee: What kind of interrogation technique is that? Gibbs: The DiNozzo method. Not pretty, but effective.
Gibbs: (about Tony) You may not admire his methods, but you gotta love the results.
Gibbs: Go to Bethesda. Keep me updated on Tony's condition.
Gibbs: Are you thinking what I think you're thinking? Tony:I don't know, boss. Are you thinking what I think you're thinking? (Gibbs laughs)
Gibbs: (talking to a suspect while undercover) My son, Tony, plays that same game.
McGee: So we have to choose between Abby and Ducky? Ziva: I'd rather be McGee's cat. Jenny: (to Gibbs) So which one are you leaning toward? Gibbs: Neither.My money's on DiNozzo.
