NCIS Spoilers: What’s Next for Dr. Jimmy Palmer and Special Agent Jessica Knight?
By the end of NCIS Season 21, fans saw Dr. Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen) and Special Agent Jessica Knight (Katrina Law) go their separate ways. Naturally, viewers are eager to know what’s in store for the pair, and showrunner Stephen J. Binder spilled some exciting details in an interview with TV Insider about what’s coming up for the ex-couple.
NCIS Spoilers – Dr. Palmer’s New Chapter Dr. Palmer hasn’t wasted any time moving on after the breakup—though months have passed, according to Binder. Palmer is now embracing the single life and has been “playing the field.” This shift in his life will take center stage in a way that promises to be awkward and come at the worst possible time.
However, this doesn’t bode well for Agent Knight, who, despite appearing to have everything under control, may not be as steady as she seems. With a new job as a REACT officer on the West Coast, the question lingers: Have they both truly moved on?
NCIS Spoilers – Trouble Ahead for Knight? Knight’s romantic life might be more on her mind than expected, as it appears she’s going to make a mistake during an upcoming hostage situation. This will set the stage for a conversation between her and Jimmy—a conversation that fans missed out on in the Season 21 finale. There’s no confirmation if this interaction will lead to a reunion or closure, but one thing is certain: it’s going to happen.
Binder teases that this conversation will “complicate but also clarify things.” He adds that both characters are acutely aware of the breakup, especially with Palmer’s child texting him daily updates like “breakup day 54, breakup day 55.”
NCIS Spoilers – More Drama to Come Palmer and Knight’s interaction isn’t limited to just one episode. According to Binder, they’ll have another important conversation in Episode 4, which also happens to feature a surprising storyline tied to WWII. But don’t worry—Kasie (Diona Reasonover) is set to save the day.
Still, it seems the stakes will be high in Palmer and Knight’s conversation. They will confront each other about their past, present, and future, diving deep into what they want from each other moving forward.
Binder hints, “There are massive stakes that could explode in different ways for both characters.” But what exactly will unfold? Fans will have to tune in to find out!
