Jessica Knight's Future in NCIS Season 22 Has Every Reddit Fan Saying the Same Thing
Being there for only three seasons, she can’t just leave that easily.
NCIS season 21 ended on several major cliffhangers, leaving fans wondering what the future season holds for some characters’ storylines and especially how everything will turn out for Jessica Knight. The latest episodes proved that she couldn’t be more excited about a big promotion that will inevitably separate her from the MCRT and send her to the other side of the country.
It’s fair to say that Knight’s dream that is about to come true in the upcoming season may also bring her big and disheartening changes in personal life, but for now some fans are reassured that it won’t go that far.
The season 21 ending left zero doubts about Jessica Knight’s departure from the team, though fan theories on Reddit suggest that she’ll eventually be back. In a thread which brought together several devoted fans who voiced their predictions for season 22, Jessica Knight’s future might be completely different from what most NCIS viewers do expect.
As one of the users suggested, the character will still give a new start to her career as the new REACT chief training officer at Camp Pendleton, but for some reason she will be forced to go back to the MCRT.
Another fan dived deeper into this idea, suggesting that Jessica’s career at REACT may indeed be brief, ending with Knight’s return to her previous workplace and her confession about making a mistake at the time when she agreed to accept the offer.
Other predictions, however, have something to do not only with Jessica Knight directly, but rather with what her departure may mean for the team. One comment seemingly alludes to that big heated discussion about who of all the characters that show up in the NCIS franchise has a chance to take over Knight’s duties, and this suggestion is once again something completely new compared to what most fans have ever thought about.
The user thus gives a completely new perspective by saying that the MCRT will probably not get another permanent agent after Knight’s departure, but instead will work with different agents for each new case.
While we’re still months away from seeing who’s right and who’s wrong among NCIS fans on Reddit, there’s a good chance for all those viral theories to go much further until the show’s next installment finally arrives.
NCIS season 22 will hit CBS this fall.
