As a die-hard NCIS fan with over two decades of emotional investment in this iconic show, I can confidently say that season 22 is shaping up to be a rollercoaster ride! The cliffhanger at the end of season 21 had me on the edge of my seat and left me with a million questions.
Enthusiasts of the TV series NCIS can hardly wait for the debut of Season 22, yet it might prove challenging for character Jessica Knight. Here’s what we’ve gathered so far!
Season 21 presented challenges for fans beyond the delay due to the 2023 Hollywood strikes. Initially, the series bid a sad goodbye to Ducky, portrayed by the late David McCallum. Later, Jessica’s father appeared to assist with a case, revealing that she had kept secret from him her relationship with Jimmy.
Jess’s father was almost fanatically dedicated to ensuring that she adhered to “the plan” for her career with the ultimate goal of becoming the NCIS director. This point came up during the season finale when Jessica was presented with a significant promotion to train the REACT team in San Diego. Following their narrow escape after being trapped on a sinking ship, along with Parker, Jessica decided to accept the job offer.
This development has sparked concerns among fans about a potential split between Jessica and Jimmy, as it appeared that he had been supportive of her career advancement but was clearly displeased with the changes her new role demanded. There’s uncertainty in the air regarding whether this means Law will depart the show or if Jessica might return.
Looking forward to Season 22 on TVLine, showrunner Steven D. Binder hinted that the plot will progress as Jessica adjusts to life in San Diego over a few months. Unsurprisingly, it appears that Jessica’s latest job is landing her in deep trouble.
We’re going to find her out there in San Diego, and she’s going to have gotten into some trouble. Fitting trouble for someone who’s a hostage negotiator. And that throws the whole trajectory of everything up in the air.
In the season 22 premiere of CBS, titled “Empty Nest,” an initial glimpse of Jessica reveals her new activities, though the appearance of tactical gear only adds to our curiosity about her whereabouts. It seems that her predicament could form a substantial plotline for the team, yet they might be preoccupied with their own problems, potentially causing distractions.
What else is coming in NCIS season 22?
To be honest, it feels strange not having Jessica around the team lately. Jimmy seems preoccupied without her, Torres is off on some undercover mission, and McGee appears to be aiming for a promotion to deputy director. As Binder put it, “Without Jessica, it’s like Papa Bird Parker has an empty nest.
It turns out that Parker is about to embark on a personal adventure, possibly linked to the enigmatic figure of Lily, the girl he seemed to hallucinate while stranded on the ship. Parker told Jessica that he didn’t recognize her, but it appears that Lily holds some connection to his past.
Additionally, Binder suggests that an interesting episode will shine the spotlight on Vance, as his negotiations are disrupted by the unexpected arrival of an old flame. This could also lead to a potential collaboration with the forthcoming Tony & Ziva spinoff, and there may be even more surprises in store.
It seems that NCIS is all set to kick off an amazing season 22, continuing its success as one of television’s most popular shows.
NCIS season 22 premieres Monday October 14 at 8/7c on CBS.
