NCIS fans, this is the Kasie episode you’ve been waiting for. Season 23, Episode 18, “Bad Impressions,” finally puts the beloved forensic scientist front and center—and not in a good way.
Picking up after “Reboot,” the episode keeps Sam Hanna in the picture while teasing more about EDNA. But the real drama begins when Kasie is seemingly framed for murder, forcing the team into a race against time to prove her innocence.
It’s a refreshing shift that allows viewers to see Kasie beyond the lab, highlighting her importance to the team and giving her a more emotional storyline. McGee, Torres, and Knight must work together to unravel a conspiracy that could have major national security consequences.
With writing by Marco Schnabel and direction from James Whitmore Jr., “Bad Impressions” looks set to deliver suspense, heart, and a long-overdue spotlight on a fan favorite.
