After seasons of being a key — yet often underappreciated — member of the team, Kasie Hines finally takes center stage in NCIS Season 23, Episode 18, “Bad Impressions” — and it’s long overdue.
Airing April 28, the episode continues the storyline from “Reboot,” with Sam Hanna still involved and the mysterious EDNA playing a major role. But this time, the emotional focus shifts to Kasie, who finds herself in serious trouble after being framed for murder — a shocking twist that pulls her out of the lab and into the center of the case.
As the team works to clear her name, fans will finally see just how important Kasie is — not only for her forensic expertise but as a true part of the NCIS family. Timothy McGee, Nick Torres, and Jessica Knight must unravel a dangerous conspiracy tied to national security while doing everything they can to protect one of their own.
Written by Marco Schnabel, the episode promises a mix of high-stakes suspense, deeper character development, and a well-deserved spotlight on a fan-favorite character.
