Recap of Season 21: Where the Story Left Off
Season 21 concluded on a cliffhanger, leaving Jessica Knight (Katrina Law) at a career crossroads. She was given the position of Chief REACT Training Officer, which would take her away from her NCIS team and boyfriend, Dr. Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen). Jimmy has an emotional breakdown after learning the truth. Meanwhile, Parker (Gary Cole) had a strange recollection about a young girl named Lily, although he later denied knowing her.
Is Katrina Law departing?
Katrina Law’s future on NCIS remains uncertain. While she has expressed hope to return, her character is clearly at a turning point.

Has Filming Begun?
Yes! Brian Dietzen (Jimmy Palmer) confirmed filming had begun in July by sharing a photo of his character’s signature glasses on social media, signaling the start of production for Season 22.
