Knight’s Heartbreaking NCIS Season 22 Exit: Why It’s a Game-Changer for Palmer!
Jessica Knight pushing through with her departure in NCIS season 22 would be the best thing for Jimmy Palmer, considering everything that has happened to him. Despite a significantly shorter season, NCIS season 21 was jam-packed.
Alongside its weekly cases, the season was particularly tough for most of Alden Parker’s team. Nick Torres nearly went to prison for a murder he didn’t commit, Ducky Mallard passed away, and Director Leon Vance was shot in the 1000th episode, among other challenges. The procedural wrapped up the year with a straightforward case.
In the NCIS season 21 finale, “Reef Madness,” Parker and his team responded to the discovery of several bodies aboard a ship destined to become an artificial reef. Admittedly, it wasn’t a compelling finale narrative. However, the events outside the official mystery made the episode special. Beyond introducing Parker’s mystery revolving around the identity of Lily, the finale also saw Knight faced with a significant decision: she was offered her dream job, which would take her away from the Major Case Response Team.
