In the explosive season finale of NCIS, titled “Reef Madness,” the Major Case Response Team faces a daunting challenge when they stumble upon the grim discovery of three bodies aboard a decommissioned Navy vessel. However, the situation takes a dramatic turn when Supervisory Agent Alden Parker (played by Gary Cole) and Special Agent Jessica Knight (portrayed by Katrina Law) find themselves trapped inside the ship’s confines.
As tensions rise and danger looms, Jessica grapples with a significant decision looming over her: a tempting job offer from NCIS Director Leon Vance (played by Rocky Carroll) to lead the REACT unit. This opportunity could potentially strain her relationship with Dr. Jimmy Palmer (portrayed by Brian Dietzen), adding another layer of complexity to an already tense situation.
Locked inside the engine room, Parker and Knight engage in heartfelt conversations that hint at seismic shifts within the NCIS universe. With Parker’s life hanging in the balance due to a life-threatening injury, the stage is set for a gripping season 22, promising to deliver even more twists and turns for fans of the long-running series.
This season has been particularly poignant for NCIS, paying homage to the beloved character of Dr. Mallard, portrayed by David McCallum, and marking the monumental milestone of the show’s 1000th episode, all within the confines of a shortened season.
