Last time Ellie Bishop (Emily Wickersham) was in Nick Torres’ (Wilmer Valderrama) life, they were partners until she shocked him by leaving for a deep cover assignment as a disgraced NCIS agent. They said goodbye, but it was sudden. Her return in the NCIS midseason premiere, which aired on Tuesday, March 3, made up for that.
The two once again said goodbye, but this time, there was more to it — and the possibility of a future together was left open. But did it also set up how NCIS will eventually write out Torres should Valderrama leave before the end of the series? Warning: Spoilers for NCIS Season 23 Episode 10 ahead!
