It included a major <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/ncis-origins-delivered-favorite-randy-030000601.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:fight between Randy (Caleb Foote) and Franks (Kyle Schmid);elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">fight between Randy (Caleb Foote) and Franks (Kyle Schmid)<\/a> that ended with a computer getting broken, courtesy of Franks and his frustrations. However, Foote opened up about the aftermath of the fight and why those stories are important for the franchise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In Tuesday\u2019s episode, \u201cHappy Birthday,\u201d the team deals with a case that Randy is sure is similar to one he typed on his computer, where he\u2019s been digitizing files. Franks, who is still <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/ncis-origins-revealed-why-mike-030000740.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:dealing with his estranged brother;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">dealing with his estranged brother<\/a>, gets upset at Randy for depending on his computer and ultimately throws it on the ground and breaks it. Even after that happens, Randy manages to keep positive and even forgives Franks and writes him a note saying that they can hug tomorrow. Foote told <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/1228787\/ncis-origins-randy-broken-computer-gibbs-double-date\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:TV Insider;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">TV Insider<\/a> it\u2019s just who he is:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Absolutely. It\u2019s just who he is, and it\u2019s who he\u2019s always been. It\u2019s just so lovely that that\u2019s who he is, and I get to play that character, and yes, there\u2019s going to be times of intense turmoil like last season, Episode 8, where I\u2019m tackling a dude and then crying in the same span. Things obviously are going to be getting crazy, but Randy doesn\u2019t crack, and you need that levity. Even talking to a friend who was in the special forces, we were talking about, would you ever make a joke in a crazy time like this? And they said, absolutely.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Only two seasons in, and fans know that Randy can go with the flow at times, but it can also be fun to see inside those cracks and see how these characters came to be who they are. Randy and Franks\u2019 fight was pretty big, but the way that Randy handled it was pretty impressive, as mentioned above. And the fact that he has still maintained that lightheartedness about him, even admid all the cases and occasional fights just shows what kind of character Randy is.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The same can be said about a lot of characters throughout the franchise as they find that balance, and it\u2019s what Foote thinks has helped keep the <em>NCIS <\/em>franchise going all these years. He continued:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">That\u2019s how you don\u2019t lose your mind is by just finding things to keep you sane. And it can\u2019t all just be the crime of the week. It has to be these interpersonal relationships and joy. I think that\u2019s what makes NCIS work for 23 plus seasons is that, are the relationships around the case of the week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If <em>NCIS <\/em>fans know anything, it\u2019s that the shows can really take dark and intense turns at times, but they can still maintain the comedy and lightheartedness when needed. And Randy is definitely there to bring the light on <em>Origins<\/em>, especially <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/im-glad-ncis-origins-answered-171431768.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:following Lala's accident;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">following Lala&#8217;s accident<\/a>. Of course, everyone has their limits, and Randy certainly has his, but if a fight with Franks and a broken computer won\u2019t dampen his spirits, what will?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If anything, Randy has basically forgiven Franks for what happened, so their relationship should be going back to normal by the next episode. However, that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that all is completely forgiven, but Randy knows what kind of person Franks is, and all Randy wants to do is make him and the team proud:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Yeah, I think this is one of those situations where Randy just had to take the high road. It might come back because everyone\u2019s an elephant on a TV show like this. Once you establish something, it\u2019s going to return, and that payoff is really valuable for audiences. But it\u2019s just something that Randy, he\u2019s not taking the higher ground, but I guess he recognizes the virtues of his boss, and in a way, he\u2019s forgiven him because he knows that\u2019s who he is. He\u2019s a great guy, he\u2019s a wonderful detective, and really, he was just trying to solve this case and do right by his team. He just went about it incorrectly. So, Randy at the end has, I would say, forgiven him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Considering that Herm (Daniel Bellomy) was able to swipe Randy a new computer and that Franks helped him set it up, it can be assumed that Randy will be very happy when he arrives at work and sees it. While fans won\u2019t see it, Foote explained that it\u2019s insinuated within the team that they all care for each other.
