How the ‘NCIS’ Team Will Meet Katrina Law’s Jessica Knight
NCIS is getting some fresh blood that could be sticking around now that we know the CBS procedural is coming back for Season 19.
As previously revealed, Katrina Law is coming in for the final two Season 18 episodes as REACT Special Agent Jessica Knight. At the time of the casting, it was said there’s a possibility she could become a series regular next season. Now, we have the first details about what to expect from her debut in “Blown Away” on May 18.
“When members of an NCIS Regional Enforcement Action Capabilities Training Team (REACT) are killed during an explosion, NCIS Special Agent Jessica Knight, the lone surviving member, helps crack the case using high tech body armor,” according to the logline.
“[Law’s] character has a very interesting kickoff,” series star Wilmer Valderrama (who plays Special Agent Nick Torres) told TV Insider. “Her energy just fits right in and we’re having a lot of fun. Both of our characters have a lot of interesting dynamics and energies and philosophies [in common], so I think these two characters are going to have fun in the field as well.”
Law joins NCIS after already appearing in a show that is tied to the universe. She played Quinn on Hawaii Five-0 (below) in its final season; H50 crossed over with NCIS‘ Los Angeles spinoff.

Law’s second episode comes in the season finale, which Valderrama promised will “really absolutely blow everyone out of the water. It is absolutely the season finale that the fans deserve and I promise you there will be absolutely no way anybody can predict what’s going to happen. … The writers did an incredible episode to pay tribute to all the questions that people had from Season 17 to 18 and then really kick off the 19th season.”

Yes, yes I'm excited about Katrina Law coming back to NCIS and hopefully be a new addition to the series. She was a fabulous addition to H50 which I watched for all the seasons and miss it lots. I'm also a big fan of NCIS and all the spin offs. NCIS is a staple TV show in our home. LA is turning a major corner in terms of the final episodes and will bring fans asking for more. Hawaii will be wonderful spin off. It will carry over the culture of the land, honor traditions and continue to educate the viewers about history of the culture and add continued diversity to the NCIS series. Magnum PI has already become a huge hit. Love it have not missed an episode. Again the Hawaiian culture is so important to respect. Can't wait for NCIS Hawaii. Tony and Ziva are the past history their characters were special and key to all the years of its success. Time to move forward.

I think it would have better to keep her H5O "Quinn "character and just have her join NCIS with a story she left Hawaii and team 5 O to move to the mainland. Same universe keep her existing character please.

I actually think she could be part of the core of a spinoff show, it was my first thought as soon as I saw her in the episode (1st).
