Summary
I’m starting to believeNCISseason 22 may bid Jessica Knight farewell, especially in light of an update from actor Katrina Law. The cast member created quite a stir following theNCISseason 21 finalewhenJessica Knight accepted a promotion to Chief REACT Training Officer. The job would take her across the country to California’s Camp Pendleton. I began to wonder if the departure was for real or if it was one of the series' famous cliffhangers. For instance, at the beginning ofNCISseason 4, it looked like Mark Harmon would retire the Leroy Jethro Gibbs character.
There have been clues about the actor’s future in the past few months.Katrina Law has been posting aboutNCIS,which could be part of her contract that carries over toNCISseason 22when she departs. I know many people want to believe that she will stay, but I haven’t been able to ignore the signs that she will go, and Law’s latest update reveals another big one. One of the most convincing elements of Jessica Knight committing to her departure is how beautifullyNCIStold her story, setting her up for a proper sendoff in season 22.

Will NCIS Really Write Out Katrina Law’s Jessica Knight In NCIS Season 22?
It May Have Already Happened In NCIS Season 21
There’s one question on my mind asNCISseason 22 approaches:will they write Jessica Knight out?In some ways, I believe they already have. I would argue that sending off the character is theonly way to handle Jessica Knight’sNCISdeparture. With a shortened 10-episode set due to the writer’s strike, dedicating an entire episode to a sub-plot about Jessica Knight’s potential evolution was a massive use of airtime, and I believe showrunners dedicated the time to the character’s farewell because it will play out inNCISseason 22. That said, I still have lingering questions.
