NCIS is bringing back some familiar faces in Season 22, and according to series star Katrina Law, it’s shaping up to be a memorable reunion. Per TVLine, fans will see the return of Jessica Knight’s sister, Robin, played by Andi Mack alum Lilan Bowden, who first appeared in Season 20’s Thanksgiving episode, “Turkey Trot”. The sibling dynamics will take centre stage again as Jessica and Robin’s contrasting personalities rub each other up the wrong way in a way that’s equal parts tense and comedic. Law hinted, “I may have to be protective of people from my sister. It’s going to be fun!”
When Robin returns for the holiday, Jessica’s fears rapidly come true, as the two sisters have a history of clashing. Their personalities are so distinctly different from each other that Jessica jokes, “I say red, she says blue.” To help keep the peace, Kasie Hines (Diona Reasonover) tags along to act as a peacemaker (not that one). However, things take a more serious turn when it turns out that Robin’s fiancé, Charlie (David Blue), has been manipulating her to get close to Jessica, in order to settle a long standing problem with her. What a d*ck.
