NCIS returned on March 3 following its winter break, and the new episodes promise emotional reunions and major character moments. According to series star Brian Dietzen, fans can expect a particularly meaningful storyline involving Special Agent Nick Torres and former agent Eleanor Bishop.
Speaking about the upcoming episode, Dietzen revealed that the story will center heavily on Torres and his complicated history with Bishop. Emily Wickersham reprises her role as Bishop, who has been living as a fugitive while secretly working undercover.
“The episode we return with focuses much more on Torres and his journey with Bishop,” Dietzen shared. “There’s some wonderful material between them, and Wilmer Valderrama and Emily Wickersham always deliver incredible performances together.”
The episode marks the first major reunion between the two characters in years, reviving the unresolved tension from their long-running “will-they-won’t-they” dynamic that began in Season 14.
Meanwhile, the second half of the season will also spotlight Jimmy Palmer and Kasie Hines, with hints that Kasie’s personal life could soon take an interesting turn.
