As NCIS heads into its holiday episode, tensions are quietly building for Jessica Knight. In a new season 23, episode 9 clip, the MCRT is in full Christmas spirit—but Knight can barely sit still as she waits for news about her first-ever ELITE mission.
While the team jokes about snagging the season’s most in-demand toy and prepares for a festive case, Knight’s conversation with Director Vance hints at something far more serious ahead. The episode, titled “Heaven and Nature,” will see her tasked with tracking down a former NCIS team member, a reveal that immediately sparks speculation among longtime fans.
With a stolen Christmas gift case on the surface and a potentially emotional reunion beneath it, the fall finale promises both holiday warmth and major story implications. NCIS season 23, episode 9 airs Tuesday at 8 p.m. on CBS.
