Sun Jan 12 19:20:00 UTC 2025: ## NCIS’ McGee’s Promotion Hinges on Mole Hunt

**Washington D.C.** – The future of NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee hangs in the balance, dependent on the team’s success in uncovering a mole within the agency. McGee, who was passed over for a promotion to Deputy Director in favor of Department of Justice Inspector General Gabrielle LaRoche, suspects LaRoche is the mole leaking sensitive information.

McGee’s investigation into LaRoche, spurred by leaked intel compromising an undercover operation, could be the key to his own advancement. If the Major Case Response Team (MCRT) proves LaRoche’s guilt, the Deputy Director position would become vacant, opening the door for McGee. Even if LaRoche is exonerated, her potential departure from NCIS to return to the DOJ or advance within the agency could create the same opportunity.

The MCRT’s investigation into the leaks is crucial. Early evidence suggests that REACT raids on Nexus cartel hideouts were deliberately sabotaged, pointing to an inside source. While LaRoche has access to classified information, the team must definitively prove her involvement.

A promotion for McGee would represent a significant shift in the NCIS dynamic, potentially giving the MCRT a new quasi-leader figure, much like the Director. However, it could also lead to a reduced on-screen presence for the beloved character, mirroring past transitions of other NCIS agents. The show’s producers haven’t commented on the potential impact on Sean Murray’s role.
