NCIS Season 22 release hints at McGee’s possible show-changing new job

Timothy McGee may have a new job NCIS Season 22 that will change the show. Much of the focus on the upcoming return of CBS’ hit procedural is on Jessica Knight’s status with the Major Case Response Team after she decided to take her dream job at Camp Pendleton in the season 21 finale. While the resolution to this remains up in the air, NCIS Season 22 is also setting up interesting storylines for the rest of Alden Parker’s team at the Navy Yard. That includes A potential major promotion for Sean Murray’s characterWho has been a field agent since season 1.

as part of Entertainment Weeklys preview of NCIS In season 22, it is revealed that the new year will pick up six months after Knight left MCRT. Parker is operating with a much smaller team, and to make matters worse, its members are focused on other endeavors. Nick Torres went undercover again, meanwhile McGee, surprisingly, is vying for a promotion to be a deputy director. It’s unclear what prompted him to pursue this new role, but the team is forced to come together after Parker suffers a severe case.

What McGee’s possible new role means for NCIS Season 22

McGee’s promotion means he will have to leave MCRT

At this point, it’s hard to say if McGee will get the promotion. It is worth noting that when Mark Harmon left in NCIS In season 19, McGee is given the opportunity to replace Leroy Jethro Gibbs as MCRT’s leader. He was the natural successor to the role, considering how long he had been with the agency, not to mention personally mentored by his legendary predecessor. That said, He declined the opportunity, explaining to Torres that he did not want the additional papers. Unlike Gibbs, McGee has a family, and it’s important to him that he spends time with them.

Despite this, there is no denying that McGee is due for a promotion. He has long been a senior field agent, and it would be unfair for him to remain stagnant in his career, considering his ability and experience. That said, moving up means McGee will have to let MCRT in NCIS Season 22. Unless Parker leaves, and he takes over, there is no room for him in the current setup of the organization. Even if McGee becomes Director Vance’s deputy, he will have a smaller workload, considering how the agency works.

NCIS can’t afford any kind of exit at this point

finally, I don’t think Murray’s McGee is leaving NCIS. Over the years, we have seen so many fake departures from the police procedural, including Knight’s, as she is likely to eventually regain her post at MCRT despite the events of the NCIS Season 21 finale. There was a point where Gibbs’ entire team was disbanded by Director Vance as a ploy to find a mole in the agency. It took a few episodes, but eventually, the whole team got back together.

It’s hard to tell where CBS is going with this storyline. Indeed, it is interesting, As it explores an aspect of McGee’s arc that is often overlooked. However, given Knight’s already complicated situation, I don’t think so NCIS is in a position to create a similar storyline with MCRT’s most veteran member. As much as I’d like him to get a promotion, I doubt this is the time for that, especially if it means Murray leaving the show. more than anything, NCIS Needs stability now after a series of major departures over the past few years.

We think McGee’s NCIS Season 22 story exposes a big problem in the procedural

There is no more room for promotion in MCRT

While I’m still optimistic about McGee staying with MCRT regardless of what happens with the promotion he wants, his story exposes one often-overlooked problem with NCIS – The lack of career growth possibilities. Because the main squad is quite small, there are hardly any options to move up the professional ladder. As a long-time senior field agent, McGee was ready to be the next team leader. But since he turned down Gibbs’ job, he’s stuck in his lower position for the foreseeable future. That is unless Parker leaves, and he finally takes the leadership spot.

Despite my initial skepticism, I’ve come to love Parker and the revamped MCRT, and I want to see more of them working together for the next few years. I was once convinced that Gibbs’ exit would be the end of NCISWhich was clearly not the case. Keeping the existing NCIS team, however, means that McGee will have to abandon any kind of dream of moving up in the agency for now. Of course, this is also quite impressive, considering all the years he spent as an outstanding member of the force. That will be the case, unfortunately, if the show continues to stick with this ensemble format.
