NCIS Season 20 left us with a lot of questions about Nick Torres. What’s next for his character when NCIS Season 21 finally premieres?
The summer break is never easy. This one is worse than others. We know that NCIS will return, but it’s not going to be in the fall. This has nothing to do with the show’s performance and everything to do with the strike action currently going on.
NCIS Season 21 hasn’t started production yet. So, we can’t get episodes until they can film. And that’s going to take a while. It doesn’t stop us from looking at what could be in store for various characters. The one we have the most concern about right now is Nick Torres.
What will Nick Torres do in NCIS Season 21?
The last we saw Torres, he we holding a gun at someone. He’d learned of some information while he was undercover in prison, and after he got out, he called his sister to tell her that he’d got someone. That someone is the guy we met at the end of the season.
This guy seemed to know Nick. Nick certainly knew him, and he was ready to kill the man. The question is whether Nick will actually go through with it.
Killing someone in cold blood will change everything for Torres. It’s not only going to end his career, but it’s going to put him in jail for the rest of his life. And there is no safety in jail for a cop, especially a federal agent. Everyone will be after him for his part in putting other people away.
Could Torres have a change of heart when we catch back up with him? Will he have another plan? Is it possible that someone like McGee or Knight knew what he was planning on doing and is going to storm in on his attempts to kill the guy? Maybe Torres’s sister will show up and get involved. It’s hard to say, and we can’t wait to see how it all plays out when the show finally returns.
NCIS is available to stream on Paramount+.
