As fans eagerly await the Season 21 finale of NCIS, the cast has hinted at a tumultuous conclusion that may see significant character departures. Brian Dietzen, who plays Chief Medical Examiner Jimmy Palmer, gave chilling remarks about what’s to come: We’re gonna see what happens with [Jimmy and Jess’] relationship as it hits some speed bumps.
This indicates relationships will be tested to their limits.
A Season Marked by Uncertainty
The season finale, titled “Reef Madness,” promises to push characters to their breaking points. Katrina Law described her experience shooting underwater scenes where she saves Parker’s life after he sustains a near-fatal injury. Law emphasized the challenge: I’m a pretty strong swimmer… but I always have a mask on, or my eyes are closed.
The complexity and life-threatening stakes of the episode highlight how no one is safe.
Cast Members’ Fates Up in the Air
Speculations are rife about whether Gary Cole’s Alden Parker will survive the explosive situations he faces. While talking to Deadline, Cole mentioned: Nobody told me if I am [leaving the show]. You’ll have to watch to find out but, no.
Such cryptic comments elevate fans’ anxiety about Parker’s survival.
The Emotional Roller Coaster Continues
Katrina Law also hinted at bigger changes, including her character Jessica Knight’s resolve to take a new job in California, leaving uncertainties about her future with Jimmy Palmer. Steven D. Binder stated: We like to keep the audience guessing and surprise them…those are surprises you’ll have to guess at.
This decision not only impacts Knight but also affects her relationship with Palmer. With the series already renewed for Season 22, surprising revelations and shifts in character dynamics are just around the corner.

The unresolved status of several beloved characters means viewers have no choice but to speculate until Season 22 airs. Sean Murray’s glimpse of Christopher Lloyd joining the cast adds another dimension of intrigue:
Well, we set something up there… and I will point you to our track record where you just never know,
added Binder, which keeps viewers on edge concerning potential exits.
