Phineas was first introduced during NCIS Season 17 Episode 5 (titled “Wide Awake”). His mother, Sahar, moved next door to Gibbs so she could spy on him and get to Ziva (Cote de Pablo). She pretended to be a woman named Sarah so she could gain Gibbs’ trust. He would babysit Phineas now and then, and they grew close.
Unfortunately, Sarah turned out to be a killer. Gibbs had no choice but to kill her first so he could protect Ziva during what could have been a fatal end for Ziva. Watch NCIS Season 17 Episode 10 if you want more of the back story.
