Agent Gibbs will undergo a major transformation following Mark Harmon's character's near-death experience, according to the latest spoilers for "NCIS" season 13.

Gary Glasberg teased spoilers for "NCIS" season 13 to TVLine as he said that the premiere episode will pick up right where the show left off.

At this point, Agent Gibbs will be rushed to a medical facility on the aircraft carrier for the much needed surgery. The surgeon is played by Jon Cryer of "Two and a Half Men."

He said, "The whole first half of the show is this emotional roller coaster ride of Gibbs' surgery and with this new character. I was a huge M*A*S*H fan when I was a kid, and I think there are many similarities humorwise in the type of work that we do on NCIS, so I really wanted to create this homage to the kind of writing that was done on that show, with Jon's character - and Jon really delivers."

By the end of the surgery and Agent Gibbs survives, Mark Harmon's character will form a bond with Jon Cryer's character.

The showrunner then promised that this season would be a more "emotionally accessible" Agent Gibbs.

"We're going to see some changes in Gibbs that are going to throw people a little bit," he said. "[Mark] Harmon is really doing some fantastic work right now in just little subtle nuances and changes."

"Physically you're going to see changes. Emotionally you're going to see changes. Things that you wouldn't normally associate with Leroy Jethro Gibbs are going to happen."

While Agent Gibbs recuperates, it's going to be DiNozzo who will take over as a leader of the team in "NCIS" season 13 and the transformation in Mark Harmon's character is bound to create some tension with Michael Weatherly's character.
