Fans are still processing NCIS’ jaw-dropping Gibbs reveal — and Wilmer Valderrama says Torres is fully on board with it.
The Season 23 penultimate episode ended with a major implication: Gibbs secretly helped avenge Director Vance by arranging the death of Rogers, the man tied to the conspiracy that led to Vance’s murder.
Although Mark Harmon never physically appeared, the references were unmistakable. A sniper shot from impossible distance. Alaska salmon. A suspiciously familiar style of justice.
Speaking after the episode aired, Valderrama admitted Torres actually admired the move.
“For Torres, justice at all costs necessary is really who he is,” the actor revealed.
Valderrama explained that while the “new Torres” briefly hesitated earlier in the episode, the old version of the character would have pulled the trigger himself without hesitation.
The actor also hinted that Torres may continue pushing boundaries next season as internal frustrations with NCIS procedures continue building.
“We’re building toward something pretty big with this character,” he teased.
