Future for Jessica Knight on NCIS Season 22: Examining the Clues
Fans are wondering whether Katrina Law's character, Jessica Knight, will be returning to the Major Case Response Team (MCRT) as production of NCIS season 22 starts. Though Knight accepted a dream job with REACT in the season 21 finale, there is more to the story than first meets the eye.
Katrina Law's Attendance at the CBS New Fall Schedule Event
Knight did accept Director Leon Vance's job offer, but it does not follow that her time with the MCRT is now over. Ncis has a history of surprising returns for its characters, thus this could be yet another such event. One important piece of information, though, points to Knight perhaps not leaving: Katrina Law's attendance at a Cbs New Fall Schedule event back in May.
This event was meant to honor the network's forthcoming primetime schedule, and Law's attendance implies that she still works on the show. Law might have skipped the Mcrt if Knight was indeed leaving. Although most of the main cast was present, Wilmer Valderrama—who plays Nick Torres—was not there. This suggests that not every cast member found the event obligatory.
Why It's Unlikely NCIS Season 22 Will Get Rid of Jessica Knight
Apart from Law's attendance at the Cbs event, there other grounds to suspect Knight is not permanently leaving the MCRT. Her knowledge of hostage negotiation and high-risk operations adds great value to the team. She has also grown to be a fan favorite, and her chemistry with Jimmy Palmer gives the show—which lacked previously a layer of romance.

This covers anything from murder and espionage to terrorism and pilfers of submarines. Former FBI agent known for his sharp wit and professionalism, Special Agent Alden Parker leads the team. Along with forensic scientist Kasie Hines, computer whiz NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee, and charming and tenacious undercover agent Nicholas "Nick," the team also includes NCIS Director Leon Vance is team supervisor.
Jess Knight's Future on NCIS Season 22
Although Jessica Knight's future is yet unknown, the data points to her perhaps not leaving the NCIS team permanently as the season 21 finale suggested. Her attendance at the CBS event, along with her team-building efforts and character popularity, suggest that she will most certainly be heavily involved in Ncis Season 22. Although fans will have to wait to see how the show tackles Knight's future in the forthcoming season, she is obviously still a cherished and essential part of the NCIS team.
