There have been questions about Torres’s new girlfriend for some time in NCIS season 22. We finally got some answers.
If you thought Torres was dating someone connected to the team, you’d be correct. Sure enough, he’s dating Knight’s sister, and Jessica is not impressed with this.
The winter premiere started with Knight going on about Robin’s dating history and how a new guy always becomes the center of her world to both McGee and Torres. At that point, Torres showed no signs of indicating that he was that guy, but it later came out that he was.
Palmer couldn’t keep a secret in NCIS season 22, episode 10
During the episode, Palmer shared that he had a chance to practice his poker face. You see, Torres had told Palmer the truth, but it was in the strictest of confidences. We all know Palmer, though. He is not the one that you tell a secret to.
While he didn’t tell Knight, he did end up spilling the beans to Kasie. It turns out that peanut M&Ms are Palmer’s weakness to open the vault. Kasie was the one who gave Torres the ultimatum. Either he tells Knight or she does.
Jessica Knight isn’t happy about Torres and her sister being together
Knight took the news as well as we thought she would. She was angry at the idea of Torres and Robin being together. After a near-death experience, she decided to get over it.
I do think the timing for Torres to tell Knight was the worst decision going. He said it as they walked into the warehouse where they knew drug dealers likely were. Why would he tell her something as big at this point? Sure, it adds drama to TV, but sometimes that drama needs to be plausible, and this certainly wasn’t.
To top it off, Knight wasn’t exactly angry. She was just annoyed that Torres kept it from her, and I don’t blame her. On Torres’s side, he says that they’re just hanging out and casual. They’re not dating. Knight knows her sister, though, and Robin is likely already planning the wedding.
Will there be wedding bells, though, or will this be a relationship that fizzles out?
