Fans of NCIS are abuzz with speculation regarding Jimmy Palmer (portrayed by Brian Dietzen) and what lies ahead for him in the upcoming 22nd season. Many are pondering whether he will venture into a new romantic relationship, potentially signaling the end of his current bond with Jessica Knight (played by Katrina Law).
The season 21 finale left Jessica facing a career-defining decision: a promotion as the new REACT chief training officer at Camp Pendleton, which would require her to relocate. With their relationship already facing challenges, the prospect of long-distance could strain it further.
A prevailing theory circulating on Reddit suggests that Jimmy might find companionship with someone else at the office during Jessica’s absence. This speculation posits that Jessica could return for a case, only to discover Jimmy has moved on, leading to initial distress but eventual acceptance.
However, not all fans are in agreement with this theory. Some Reddit users argue that Jessica’s departure is merely a plot twist and that she will eventually return. They believe characters like Nick will remind her of her commitments to the team and her role as Victoria’s stepmother.
As NCIS gears up for its anticipated 22nd season premiere in September, following its renewal in April, viewers are eagerly anticipating the return to a full-length season with approximately 24 episodes. The unfolding storylines, particularly concerning Jimmy and Jessica’s relationship, are generating significant interest and speculation among the fanbase.
