NCIS Season 20 Finale Recap: Torres’ Undercover Mission Reveals Shocking Twist
In the thrilling NCIS Season 20 finale, the team navigates a complex plot reminiscent of the 1997 animated classic “Anastasia.” With Yuri (Themo Melikidze) in custody, Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) goes undercover as Manny Delgado, an armed robber, to extract information about a planned Russian attack orchestrated by Yuri’s father, Kostya Valkov (Ilia Volok), a former KGB agent turned oligarch.
While Knight (Katrina Law) attempts to flip spy Evelyn (Juliette Goglia), she accidentally reveals that a prison guard is working for Kostya, putting Torres in danger. Despite the risk, Torres remains undercover, navigating the prison’s dangers and uncovering crucial details about the plot, codenamed “Anastasia,” which involves a cyber-attack aimed at crippling the U.S.’s electrical grid.
A tense showdown in the prison yard leads to an unexpected twist: Yuri’s henchman Lev kills Yuri on Kostya’s orders to keep their plans intact. Torres is brought back to NCIS headquarters, where he reveals a personal vendetta against an unknown target linked to his family.
As the power goes out across major U.S. cities, the team scrambles to stop the virus, revealing Evelyn, aka Viktoria Valkov, as the mastermind. The team manages to thwart the attack just in time, restoring power and averting a national crisis.
The episode ends on a dramatic cliffhanger, with Torres confronting Reymundo’s mother’s boyfriend, a man from his past, and threatening his life.
The finale leaves fans eager for Season 21, as NCIS continues to deliver high-stakes drama and intricate storylines.
