NCIS Season 22 Shakeup: Jessica’s Big Move and Jimmy’s New Life
When NCIS returns for Season 22 on October 14, things will look very different for the team. Jessica Knight’s decision to take a REACT job on the West Coast sets off a chain of events that scatters the team, with everyone pursuing new paths. But her choice is partly fueled by Jimmy Palmer’s decision to break up with her—while he thought he was setting her free, it might have pushed her away.
According to showrunner Steve Binder, Jimmy has moved on and is dating, while Jessica throws herself into her work. The two will face awkward tension when they finally reunite during a case in Episode 4, where Jessica questions her choice to leave and they confront their unfinished business.
Meanwhile, the team is in flux: McGee applies for a deputy director job in Colorado, and Torres ends up in serious trouble during an undercover operation. However, Jessica’s case might bring the scattered team back together—though not quite in the way fans expect.
Catch the Season 22 premiere of NCIS on October 14!
