‘NCIS’: Should Palmer & Knight Get Back Together in Season 23?

It only took about two decades, but NCIS finally has an onscreen romance. Previously, there would be hints, longing glances, and the will-they-won’t-they that ended up falling into the latter category until one of the two characters left the show. Only then would they share a kiss. With Tony (Michael Weatherly) and Ziva (Cote de Pablo), we saw all of that. Then, surprise, she “died” and he found out they had a daughter together. (Their story — and complicated relationship — continues in the new Paramount+ spinoff this fall.)

But that changed with Dr. Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen) and Special Agent Jessica Knight (Katrina Law), with their friends-to-lovers romance playing out onscreen. However, when she was offered a job in California, that led to them breaking up, and they’ve remained apart since. They did, however, talk about their relationship in Season 22 Episode 4and what they both deserve in a partner.
