Jessica Knight, portrayed by Katrina Law, was rumored to leave NCIS after the Season 20 finale, where her character was offered her dream job. However, fans will be relieved to know that she is not actually leaving the show. The storyline created tension, leading to speculation about her departure, but it turned out to be another case of NCIS teasing a potential exit only to keep the character around, similar to what has been done with other characters in the past.
Knight’s character, known for her skills as a REACT agent and her strong presence on the team, remains a vital part of the NCIS crew. Her romantic involvement with Dr. Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen) and her deep connections with the team have made her a fan favorite, and the show’s creators have decided to keep her story going.
In short, Jessica Knight didn’t actually leave NCIS. The show’s writers created suspense around her potential exit, but she is still part of the team in Season 22.
