As the NCIS franchise approaches its landmark 1,000th episode, fans are eager to see what developments lie ahead, particularly regarding the latest romance within the series.
During the filming of the milestone episode, TVLine caught up with Brian Dietzen, known for his portrayal of Dr. Jimmy Palmer, and Katrina Law, who plays Jessica Knight. The on-screen couple finally solidified their relationship in the penultimate episode of Season 20, with Jimmy’s unexpected declaration of love for Jess. Fans affectionately refer to the pairing as “Knight in Shining Palmer.”
However, according to Dietzen, smooth sailing may not be on the horizon for the couple. He hinted that challenges and obstacles could arise, as love often takes unexpected turns and encounters bumps along the way.
One potential source of tension could be the introduction of Russell Wong as Jessica’s father, set to appear in an episode airing on March 25. Law teased that her character’s father is a significant figure in the NCIS world and has a formidable presence.
Wong’s arrival may not bode well for the budding romance between Jimmy and Jessica, as Dietzen hinted that the encounter might not be the most ideal introduction for Jimmy to his girlfriend’s father.
Despite the challenges ahead, fans can hope that Jimmy and Jessica will emerge from any trials stronger than before, though the outcome remains uncertain. With the 1,000th episode approaching, NCIS is keeping viewers on their toes, hinting at grave danger for one of the beloved characters and teasing crossovers with other franchises in a unique way.
While the road ahead may be fraught with uncertainty, longtime fans can anticipate nostalgic nods to the show’s history, with the producers promising Easter eggs and references that keen-eyed viewers will appreciate.
As the anticipation builds, NCIS continues to captivate audiences, airing on CBS Mondays at 9 p.m. ET, with the highly anticipated 1,000th episode slated to air on April 15th.
