NCIS Season 22: Jess and Jimmy's Relationship Takes Center Stage!

NCIS season 22 is shaping up to be an emotional ride, especially for fans of Jessica Knight (Katrina Law) and Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen)! The season premiere throws us right into the deep end with Jess in a shocking hostage situation; and she will obviously need a lawyer to deal with this sticky situation; setting up many intensely emotional encounters! That situation is just a taste of what's brewing, according to Katrina Law herself! In a recent chat with TVLine, she hinted at a big conversation between Jess and Jimmy– one that’s going to involve intense emotions which would certainly involve this pair's romantic troubles.  She said this would involve a difficult discussion:

"You know what? The interesting part about the Jessica/Jimmy thing is it’s not until episode 4 that they actually talk about anything. The two of them are so set on just making things work and acting like they’re OK and that nothing has happened, but all of a sudden in Episode 4 they are caught in a situation where they are by themselves, alone, and they cannot leave, and all of a sudden they’re going, ‘Well, guess we kind of have to have a talk now!’”

Season 22 will really delve into Jess and Jimmy's relationship; adding a new emotional layer to this awesome show. That premiere’s tension— with Jess holding that clergyman hostage, creates a big opening— however those underlying emotional undercurrents, resulting from all their unspoken issues; this is where those much-needed discussions become immensely important!

Remember those serious issues involving that career shift Jess made to Camp Pendleton at the end of season 21?  Jimmy's outburst about yet another person leaving him, it is deeply impactful for fans. The tension surrounding those unresolved emotions add further stress which is about to affect this show's later narratives. That situation leads into that crucial episode 4 conversation; that moment decides their breakup’s permanency.

This creates major suspense because this episode has great meaning for fans who had already begun to theorize and guess about those future narratives regarding Jess and Jimmy’s relationship. That earlier discussion about Jess's new job had really raised expectations of the upcoming drama! This discussion also has great relevance; especially in considering Jess’ new role within the Office of Strategic Support, bringing back more of the original storylines for that familiar cast member; making this moment within episode 4 completely pivotal to this entire show.
