Many people are wondering why Austin Stowell’s character, Gibbs, ended up killing Pedro Hernandez in the TV series NCIS: Origins. In the latest episode titled “Vivo o Muerto”, a young woman goes missing after enjoying a night out at a club. The team sets off to Mexico to solve the case and along the way, they discover more about Gibbs’ past actions taken in revenge. Here is an article that provides more insight into Gibb’s history with Hernandez.

How and why did Austin Stowell’s Gibbs kill Pedro Hernandez in NCIS: Origins?

Leroy Jethro Gibbs killed Pedro, a member of the Reynosa Cartel, as an act of retribution for murdering his loved ones.

In Episode 9, the team gears up to unravel the mystery surrounding a missing woman, whose case ultimately connects to Gibbs’ personal history. As they delve deeper, they discover links to a Tijuana nightclub and the dangerous Reynosa Cartel, whose dealer Pedro was responsible for the tragic demise of Gibbs’ family.

Initially, they grew wary that the criminal organization linked to kidnappings and trafficking could be connected to the disappearance of the woman. Their suspicions were validated when they discovered her in their territory. With assistance from Tijuana police, Gibbs, Lala, and their team successfully rescued the woman from the grip of the cartel.

In a private talk between Lala and Gibbs later on, Lala confesses his regret over not pursuing charges against Pedro earlier due to guilt. However, Gibbs conceals a significant truth, keeping it hidden even from Lala – he knew that the cartel leader was responsible for the deaths of Gibbs’ wife and child. In retribution, Gibbs took matters into his own hands by fatally shooting Pedro before joining the investigation squad.

Despite having the opportunity to reveal his secret to Lala, Gibbs opted not to do so. According to co-creator David J. North, this was because Gibbs needed to dig himself out of a hole in order to regain Lala’s full trust, as he had done something that might make her question him. (via The Wrap)
