His character quits in the season finale because he is tired of the lack of leadership by higher-ups within the Federal government. Now that is a moral conundrum for those serving in government--a favorite for Confucians to think about. How long should one serve if one's advice is not heeded, or if one cannot be effective? Or if one cannot bring about reform? So long as one can accomplish some good, it seems that one has some sort of duty to stay and do what one can. Now some may see resignation as a tool of protest, but it is not clear to me if this really accomplishes anything. If one's superiors do not value you or your advice or do not wish to effect change, what will they care if you leave? One less troublesome meddler to deal with. Besides, one is not subordinate to one's superiors absolutely--ultimately one serves the common good and the community, not the superior. They aren't typical 'bosses' and the community isn't another 'company.'
Agent Gibbs and his mentor aren't Daoists either. They were just tired of the BS they witnessed and left.
