Packing up his family photos in his house, future love steps in. Gibbs meets his red-headed real estate agent, Diane (Kathleen Kenny). On "NCIS," Gibbs' second wife (there were four, with three divorces and one death) was red-haired Diane Sterling (Melinda McGraw).

In the action-packed finale of the NCIS prequel, Gibbs manages to escape arrest for killing the man who murdered his wife and children. But his freedom came at an enormous price: after going the extra mile to help Gibbs, Lala is seriously injured in a car accident after swerving to avoid a child.
