Plot

Gibbs regains consciousness, but he's lost his memory since 1991. He starts to remember a few things; Jen helps, then an old buddy, then Ziva. Gibbs gets back his memory and a solution, gives a severe warning, becomes ignored, then quits.

Gibbs regains consciousness, and he says that he remembers "the explosion"; however, he does not recognize or remember Ducky. A neurologist says that Gibbs's organic injuries (his lack of brain damage) are inconsistent with an erasure of 15 years of memory even with a memory of his trauma; the physician suggests that the cause is not a physical one but rather an emotional repression of memory. Gibbs starts to remember a few things; Jen helps, then an old buddy does, then Ziva. Gibbs regains his memory, and he recalls the details of the operation on which he sustained his recent injuries. He figures out the bad guy, gives a severe warning, becomes ignored, then quits.—DocRushing

When Gibbs regains consciousness, they ask him what year it is, he thinks it's during Desert Storm and when Ducky goes to see him he doesn't recognize him. So Gibbs has sustained some kind of memory loss. When they rule out neurological cause, they think it must psychologically induced. So Sheppard tries to find someone whom Gibbs knew at the time. She discovers a secret Gibbs kept from all of them. She eventually finds the NCIS man who trained Gibbs when he first joined. She calls him and has him come over and Gibbs remembers him and he tries to help him remember. In the meantime, the others continue to try and find out what happened on the freighter, so they question everyone and the Captain reveals something. But they need Gibbs to make sense of it.—rcs0411@yahoo.com
