NCIS: Is "Bishop" leaving the team for a new job?
In season 17 episode 10, "Bishop" receives an offer from the former CIA agent "Odette" (Elayn J. Taylor) to undergo special training.
"Odette sees a lot in Bishop that she saw in Ziva, this bright young human who has great potential," NCIS executive producer Frank Cardea said to TV Insider. "She's hoping to become a mentor to her just like she was with Ziva."
The question is whether "Bishop" will accept the offer and thus leave the NCIS team in order to pursue a new career path. So far, we can only speculate on what NCIS will do with Emily Wickersham's character.
One thing is for sure, however: an exit of the actress would be more than tragic and many fans would certainly miss her and her character dearly.
NCIS will be back on CBS with a new episode on Tuesday, January 7 2020 at 8pm (7 central).
