In the explosive season finale of NCIS titled “Reef Madness,” the Major Case Response Team faces a daunting challenge upon discovering three bodies aboard a decommissioned Navy vessel. However, tension escalates dramatically as Supervisory Agent Alden Parker (played by Gary Cole) and Special Agent Jessica Knight (portrayed by Katrina Law) find themselves trapped inside the ship.
As danger looms, Jessica grapples with a significant decision: a tempting job offer from NCIS Director Leon Vance (played by Rocky Carroll) to lead the REACT unit. This opportunity could strain her relationship with Dr. Jimmy Palmer (portrayed by Brian Dietzen), adding complexity to an already tense situation.
Locked in the engine room, Parker and Knight engage in heartfelt conversations hinting at seismic shifts within the NCIS universe. With Parker’s life hanging in the balance due to a life-threatening injury, season 22 promises even more twists and turns for fans of the long-running series.
This season has been particularly poignant, paying homage to the beloved character of Dr. Mallard (portrayed by David McCallum) and marking the monumental milestone of the show’s 1000th episode, all within a shortened season.
