‘NCIS: Origins’ Reveals More About Wheeler & Oakley’s Romantic Past

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for NCIS: Origins Season 2 Episode 4 “No Man Left Behind.”]

NCIS: Origins delivers a reunion for the Franks brothers (Kyle Schmid‘s Mike and guest star Philip Winchester‘s Mason) that dives into why they’ve been estranged and reveals a bit more about Wheeler’s (Patrick Fischler) past with the FBI’s Oakley (DaJuan Johnson) in the Tuesday, November 4, episode.

Franks is thrown, to say the last, when Mason shows up at his house; his team is thrown to learn he has a brother. Franks is even more surprised to learn that their mother sent Mason a letter while they were in Vietnam that revealed the ranch was going under. She sold it to the Hendersons and had a handshake agreement they could rent it back, stay in the house, and work the land. The plan was to work the ranch back to profit and buy it back, explains Mason, but after the floods, he started taking loans from people you don’t want to owe. The Henderson kids are now selling to a developer, and he has to be out in 14 days. He’s hoping Franks knows some sort of legal tactic that could help.
