As NCIS Season 23 moves closer to its finale, Episode 16, “S.O.S.,” arrives at a critical moment in the season’s pacing. The episode focuses on a Navy lieutenant who unexpectedly resurfaces after disappearing in a plane crash the year before — but her return raises more questions than answers.
The team quickly discovers that the crash itself may not have been accidental, launching an investigation filled with new twists and shifting possibilities. Jessica Knight and Nick Torres head into the field together, continuing to showcase one of the season’s strongest partnerships.
Directed by Rocky Carroll, the episode also marks another meaningful contribution from a longtime member of the NCIS family.
While “S.O.S.” may not yet reveal the season’s biggest storyline developments, it clearly signals that the calm won’t last much longer as the finale approaches. 🚨📺
