What to Expect in Episode 11
The title for NCIS Season 23 Episode 11 has not been officially announced yet. The episode will continue the storylines from the midseason premiere .
Episode 10, which aired on March 3, began resolving the major cliffhanger from December. That cliffhanger involved Jessica Knight (Katrina Law) receiving her first assignment with NCIS Elite, which appeared to be tracking down former agent Ellie Bishop (Emily Wickersham). Bishop was seen watching the team from a distance at the funeral of Parker’s mother .
Episode 11 will likely show the aftermath of that mission. The team is dealing with the fallout of Bishop’s return and the ongoing mystery surrounding her situation. The show is following its typical case-of-the-week format while advancing these serialized character arcs.
The Current Season So Far
Season 23 has been a strong one for the long-running drama. The first nine episodes aired in fall 2025, ending with the December 16 episode titled “Heaven and Nature” .
The season has focused heavily on Alden Parker (Gary Cole), who has been dealing with personal trauma following the murder of his father. The season premiere showed a darker, more vengeful side of Parker, similar to how Gibbs behaved in past seasons after personal losses .
Other major stories have included:
- Timothy McGee (Sean Murray) was kidnapped while promoting his book in Episode 6, “Page-Turner” .
- The team worked with an AI chatbot being tested by the Department of Justice in Episode 8 .
- A major crossover event with NCIS: Origins in November solved a cold case from the 1990s and featured a return appearance from Mark Harmon as Leroy Jethro Gibbs .
