Uh-oh… Torres’ jealousy is no longer subtle — and it might spell serious trouble for the team.
In the latest NCIS episode, Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) clearly struggles after Knight (Katrina Law) is offered a major opportunity with NCIS Elite — a position Vance (Rocky Carroll) originally offered to him. He turned it down (mysteriously), and insists that’s not why it went to her… but the tension says otherwise.
Things get even more awkward when Knight partners up with night-shift Agent Sawyer (Zane Holtz). During a stakeout, she admits someone means “more than he knows” to her — and it’s hard not to connect the dots.
Meanwhile, Palmer (Brian Dietzen) calls Torres out, suggesting jealousy doesn’t have to be romantic to be toxic. He reflects on loving Knight — even saying he still loves her — and how he always thought he’d “get the last dance”… until he didn’t.
The situation explodes when Torres, disoriented by acoustic sound waves, grabs a bat and goes after Sawyer, warning him to stay away from Knight. She’s the one who has to subdue him — and later admits he scared her. Torres initially denies being jealous… but by episode’s end, he finally opens up.
Stopping the elevator, he confesses he didn’t like seeing her with Sawyer. Knight reassures him: what he’s feeling isn’t romance — it’s fear of losing their partnership. He makes it clear: he doesn’t want anyone or anything coming between them. “Just don’t forget who has your six,” he says. She agrees — sealing it with a pinky swear.
Elsewhere, Knight, Palmer, and Kasie (Diona Reasonover) continue hiding explosive information from Parker (Gary Cole) about discrepancies in his mother’s death and mysterious DNA evidence tied to his father’s murder. For now, they believe he’s better off not knowing.
Jealousy. Secrets. Loyalty tested.
Is NCIS setting up something bigger for Torres and Knight?
