TVLINE | So the point of his that she’s conceding is a combo of him saying it’s “for the best” that she takes the job, and how she’s always had this “plan” to follow.
But also, one of the things we tried to build into the backstory leading up to this episode is this outburst from Jimmy and this tension with Knight didn’t just come on in this episode, it didn’t come up with this job happening. This has been building since her father showed up and said, “I thought your future was this?” And Jimmy is thinking, “Well, it’s only a matter of time before you leave anyway, so I’m going to push you out the door, so I don’t have to sit here waiting for it to happen.” And I think Jess has taken a moment to go, “You know what? I think we both have some things to work out on our own. You have some issues to sort out.” Jessica is thinking, “I did take my foot off the gas pedal when I lost my REACT team, so maybe it’s time to reapply the gas.” As much as she loves Jimmy, she knows she can never fulfill that part of the relationship if she herself isn’t a whole person.
It would stink if Jimmy and Knight don’t get married…bummed
Figured they wouldn’t. He didn’t teymry. Poor Victoria
No cliffhanger. Katrina Law is not going anywhere. It is so obvious. Those “will they or won’t they” finales never work.
If this were another show I would agree…but this one has had a lot of surprising departures. Even Gibbs leaving, although known that it was coming, was surprising. Especially since a lot of people thought that would be the end of the show. I hope she doesn’t leave, I like the character and I adore Katrina Law, but if they do make this goodbye I will be disappointed but not shocked. They also seem to have a bit of a problem keeping female actors/characters. The majority of the people they’ve lost over the years have been women.
At least they didn’t kill her off. So, she could return.
I’d hate to see Katrina Law leave the show. She does such an exceptional job of portraying “NCIS Special Agent Jessica Knight,” and I’d truly like to see her staying with the team, instead of leaving the show. I don’t see how she can be the Chief REACT Training Officer and part of the mothership team, but I guess we’ll see how things transpire in the Fall! I agree though! We do seem to see a lot of female characters leave: “S.A. Caitlin Todd,” “S.A. Paula Cassidy,” “NCIS Dir. Jenny Shepard,” “S.A. Ziva David,” “S.A. Eleanor Bishop” (so far, her character stayed the longest — 7¾ seasons/years), but, again, I truly hope Katrina Law stays. I love “S.A. Jessica Knight!”
IMHO, I think the show is doing just fine without Mark Harmon/“S.A.C. Jethro Gibbs.” Gary Cole is also a great actor and he does a super job of portaying “S.A.C. Alden Parker.”
IMHO, without his backstory, Gibbs was not really that interesting of a character. He hardly ever said anything, unless he was with Jenny or Fornell. Don’t get me wrong, Mark Harmon is a great actor, but his character was just blah if you leave out the fact that he was wounded because of his past. The show mainly succeeded on the name, Mark Harmon.
Totally agree about Gibbs being blah! Not Mark Harmon, just the way they had him play Gibbs. Not talking much, etc. I much prefer Parker any day.
Would love to see Knight insist they change the training location to Quantico maybe to stay close to Jimmy, but even then I couldn’t see her remaining part of the team and doing the REACT job both. If they replace her, I hope the new female fits into the team. They did a great job casting Ziva, Ellie, and Knight herself, after all…
Love Gary Cole in this role
Me too. He is in my opinion much better than Mark Harmon.
I enjoy watching him more than watching Mark Harmon, even though I love Mark. But Gibbs was always such a sad sack, because of his past. And the last few years he was on, he was even worse. Alden is fun and upbeat – the opposite of Gibbs.
I’ve liked Gary Cole for a looong time. He always comes through and does a great job and, despite the literary convenience of his characters arrival, I love him in this role. The character is a big departure from Gibbs but it works in no small part because of how good GC is.
It sucks if Knight leaves. First Gibbs retires the Knight leaves. Ducky is Dead for real. Is there a reason to watch it. Not IMHO.
Gibbs was my favorite. I think they should bring back Gibbs. They could always make room for Parker. Make him the director.
Mark Harmon is in his 70s . He probably just wants to enjoy his retirement
Mark Harmon retired from acting. He might guest star but that would be about it.
Mark Harmon’s not fully retired from acting… He’s coming back to provide Narrations as older Leroy Jethro Gibbs for the NCIS: Origins Prequel TV Series. That counts as an active acting role.
She’s the best female lead since Ziva. I hope she’s not leaving.
Be realistic. Mark Harmon is 72. How many real NCIS personnel are that old? When Ducky got old they put him in a fluff job. That just wouldn’t work for Gibbs.
That’s the way real life is … people die, others move on to follow their dreams and life goes on. Life is all about changes otherwise it would be stagnant. New characters open the door to fresh new storylines. Most understand this.
I hope Katrina Law stays. I love her on the show!!
We’ll know if shes really leaving before the fall because they’d more than likely cast a replacement female agent to begin shooting.
Good show? Yes
Satisfied with the ending? Not at all.
Give, Parker the director job a and bring back Gibbs!!!!!
Mark doesn’t want back. He’s a producer these days. You want him back watch NCIS Origins
Gibbs doesnt want to come.back . I got one don’t really mihim
Good season but so miss Mark Harmon
Not the cliffhanger they made us think it be. For a moment I thought for sure, agent Parker was about to get killed off. Other than that, nothing too unpredictable. Although it does appear Katrina Law’s character of Jessica Knight has been written out of the show.
As for the romance between Jimmy and Jess, I was rooting for a happy ending. Unfortunately it seems as if, the writers had other ideas. They had hinted over the last year there was going to be some problems between the two characters. It would of been a very different dynamic to see a successful romantic coupling like Jimmy and Jess to be a permanent fixture on the show. Which by the way has never had any. A sad day for me. I’m hoping Katrina will be back, but I’m not betting on it.
Just wait. Goofy CBS PRESIDENT Amy Reisenbech will cancel this show too.
Just like “So help me Todd”.
Good episode.
But Knight better be back next season.
She’s the first female agent I’ve watched for since Ziva left.
I think it would really suck if she left jimmy. Hasn’t that man lost enough in his life don’t take knight away from him also
You get into jimmys life and be almost a step mom to his daughter . And bam you decide to just move on. That is wrong . Not only did you hurt jimmy but you had to go screw up his daughter. What future episode. Jimmy’s daughter out a hit out on you for screwing her life and breaking her dads heart
Good show. Thought it would be hard to replace Gibbs. Maybe you don’t have to. Just be who you are.
I bet when it returns in the Fall, it’ll be a little time jump & Knight will be back after the REACT thing not working out for whatever reason…
Please say it ain’t so. Katrina please stay. If you leave NCIS is gone from my TV!. I was so happy you found a home after 5-0.
Furious that CBS put NCIS Origins in NCIS Hawaii time slot. No interest in watching Origins. We’ve been watching NCIS for over 20 years. Don’t need to see Origins. CRAP.
NCIS Hawaii was great. Tge Australia one is boring and the accents Need tge Captions. DONT LIKEC
IT EVEN W TGE CAPTIONS
WONT WATCH. I WATCH HALLMARK
I cannot afford to pay for PARAMONT PLUS. So I won’t watch ZIVA AND TONY. Good thing NCIS is still on TV. CBS IS FULL OF CRAP.
Your comment needs captions. Geez!
Bring NCIS Hawaii BACK!
Bring ncis Hawaii back and Todd and bob ❤️Abashola enough with the stupid reality shows
Two of those were canceled and the third ended. Just because Folake said “we could’ve gone another few seasons” doesn’t mean the show would’ve been as good.
Please don’t take another character away! I’m already mad that Tony and Ziva won’t be on CBS!
Please don’t let Jessica leave.
Katrina Law better not leave. We lost Kate and Ziva. This is CRAZY
Please don’t let Jess leave.
Jimmy lost Brenna he can’t lose jess no one is good enough for jimmy.
I hope Jess doesn’t leave Jimmy! I hope they can figure out their relationship. Love them both!
Gary Cole is far superior as Parker than Mark Harmon is to Gibbs. I don’t want him to come back. Cole gave new life to NCIS.
What is wrong with CBS? Too many lousy decisions about removing series. I LOVE So Help me Todd and NCIS Hawaii. And Katrina Law had better stay on NCIS. Too many losses. I makes watching hurt. JUST CUT THIS OUT, CBS.
I can’t believe that Jess took that job without even sitting down and talking with Jimmy about it!! I think it was VERY selfish of her! I’m not liking the ending AT ALL!!
