NCIS Season 23, Episode 6 is giving fans a true treat: a full-on McGee episode—and not just any McGee episode. “Page-Turner” dives straight into the world of Thom E. Gemcity, McGee’s writer alter ego, and even lets us see him interact with his own fictional characters.
It’s a rare format for NCIS, which doesn’t often experiment stylistically, making this hour feel especially fresh. Even better? The team members will be portraying McGee’s fictional cast. Meta, playful, and character-driven—this episode already looks like a standout.
Here’s everything we know.
