team to have little experience in using weapons compared to his colleagues (Tony was a cop, Gibbs was a sniper, Kate was previously in the Secret Service while Ziva was a highly skilled Mossad operative). In Season 11, with the transfer of Ellie Bishop from NSA to NCIS, McGee has begun to assert to seniority. He used some of Tony's old pranks on Bishop, such using a trick coin when tossing to see who has to retrieve a corpse from a septic tank. In the Season 13 finale episode, "Family First", with DiNozzo having resigned from the team for good, McGee is promoted to Senior Field Agent and becomes the show's main character. Abby Sciuto McGee had an extended relationship with forensics technician Abby Sciuto in season one, but there is no direct reference to their relationship ending.

In contrast to Tony DiNozzo, McGee has had few relationships, or possible ones, almost all of which have begun and ended in the same episode. In "Sub Rosa", McGee's first appearance in Season 1, McGee asks Tony about Abby.

In Season 5 McGee has issues with a girl who stole his heart and his credit, when he asks for help from Abby she tells him "I love you McGee and that should be enough".
