LOS ANGELES – In a surprising twist, NCIS’s Season 22 will feature Dr. Jimmy Palmer’s teenage daughter, Victoria, taking center stage in an investigation. Actress Elle Graper reprises her role as Victoria in the March 3rd episode, titled “Close to Home,” where she discovers a large sum of money near the naval library and texts the information to Torres (Wilmer Valderrama).
This marks Victoria’s second appearance on the show and her first active involvement in a case. Actor Brian Dietzen, who plays Dr. Palmer, spoke about the father-daughter dynamic in this episode, noting the natural progression of their relationship and the pride he feels that Victoria feels comfortable reaching out to other members of the team, especially Torres, who is like an uncle to her. Dietzen also addressed the impact of Palmer and Knight’s recent breakup on Victoria and their relationship. He mentioned that despite the separation, Palmer values Knight as a positive role model for Victoria.
The episode will also see Dr. Palmer step outside his comfort zone by going undercover – a move that’s sure to add an extra layer of intrigue to the already complex investigation. Furthermore, the episode introduces a potential new love interest for Palmer, Wendy, played by Erinn Hayes, adding another layer of complexity amidst the ongoing investigation.
