From the article:

"...Last seen as an avatar of the Angel of Death on NCIS, helping guide Director Vance to the afterlife, the younger version of Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard (Adam Campbell sporting the bow tie and personality made famous by the late David McCallum) gets to be himself on the 1990s-set prequel.

Newly promoted to the post of chief Medical Examiner in Washington, D.C., Ducky willingly hops a plane cross-country to help his weekly phone friend, San Diego’s Medical Examiner Dr. Tango (Julian Black Antelope), when the Native American doc is jailed on a charge of stealing skeletal remains from a national park.

NCIS: ORIGINS - OCTOBER 28, 2025 - TV INSIDER: Inside Mark Harmon’s Emotional Ducky Moment in David McCallum Tribute

From the TV Insider article:

"... “He always had a way of knowing who I was meant to be.” So says Mark Harmon in the emotional voiceover that caps off the NCIS: Origins serving as a tribute to the late David McCallum, with Adam Campbell reprising his role as the young Ducky.

Ducky has come to Pendleton to determine if they need an in-house ME — Franks (Kyle Schmid) is, of course, suspicious — and reunites with his old pal Gibbs (Austin Stowell), ultimately leaving him and everyone he encounters better for it. “He comes in sort of as this wonderful magical storm in a way, and everyone is influenced by his presence,” notes executive producer Gina Lucita Monreal, who wrote the episode with Margarita Matthews.
