NCIS Executive producer Steven D. Binder has offered a season 22 story update, revealing new details about Jessica Knight (Katrina Love) and Jimmy Palmer’s (Brian Dietzen) relationship after the couple broke up. at the end of NCIS In season 21, Knight accepted a position as Chief React Training Officer at Camp Pendleton, taking her away from the NCIS team and moving her far away from their location. This leads to tension between her and Palmer, and although the option of a long-distance relationship is floated, he ultimately decides to break up with her.
Talk to TV InsiderBinder explains how Knight and Palmer would get a chance to continue their conversation in two more parts at the beginning of NCIS Season 22. That includes during the premiere and in Episode 4, which the executive producer hints will involve a high-stakes mission for the team. He also reveals that Palmer is dating again, and that Knight will use her hostage negotiation skills during a harrowing moment of her own. Check out what Binder had to say below:
It’s months later. Knight’s on the West Coast [in her new job as chief REACT training officer]. They settled into the new normal of not being together. Jimmy is dating. We will learn a little about this. He was busy as a single man; Which will make an appearance at the most inopportune time. [In the premiere] Knight encounters a very serious problem with her skills as a hostage negotiator. There are certain things you never do, and this is why [she] Does. As a result, you and Jimmy will get a chance to have part two of the conversation that we didn’t see in the finale. There is a part 3 in this conversation that we will see in episode 4 when the third world war is starting.
[NCIS is] In charge of a very small thing and that small thing has the potential to become a big thing and we are trying to stop it from becoming a big thing. They have 42 minutes. It is [an] Almost real-time episode. Jimmy and Nate will get a chance to have part 3 of who and what they are and what they will be and what they will not be. There are huge stakes that can blow up and then very huge stakes for the two in a completely different way. The world will not end. We have [forensic scientist] Cassie [Diona Reasonover] To thank.
What Knight and Palmer Reunion Will Mean for NCIS Season 22
Their time together is not over
Although Knight is no longer part of the crew in NCIS season 22, It doesn’t look like actor Katrina Love will be leaving the show anytime soon. This is reinforced by Binder’s additional comments, which indicate that the duo will be processing their breakup for some time. Not only are they involved in their relationship drama, but Palmer’s daughter Victoria (Elle Graper) will be too, counting out loud how many days it’s been since the couple broke up. This sets the stage for a more versatile story around their relationship moving forward.

moreover, Knight will be the subject of her own episodeswhich includes one where she works protective custody for a “DC socialite.” This indicates a strong presence from her throughout the season, something that could draw her and Palmer back together despite the banter they had at the end of season 21. Since she is still a major cast member of NCISIt is possible that she will find a way to return to her relationship with the Chief Medical Examiner as their respective storylines unfold.
Our relationship of Knight and Palmer in NCIS season 22
It is very likely that the couple will get back together
Since Knight is still going to have her own missions across NCIS season 22, We think it’s very likely that the spark between you and Palmer will reignite. While it sounds like episode 4 of the new season will be crucial for their relationship going forward, it’s also possible that their new path forward takes even longer to be fully established. With the couple in a very different world apart from one another, but still working together from time to time, it seems like their relationship could be refined as the episodes progress.
