Jessica and Jimmy’s relationship on NCIS is maybe the most effective components of the collection in the intervening time, although it arrived at a time when Jimmy was nonetheless grieving the shock demise of his spouse, Breena. As such, the pairing was sudden, but they nonetheless managed to turn into a fan-favorite couple in brief order, and never even issues with Jessica’s dad slowed issues down. However, star Katrina Law’s current feedback has me only a bit apprehensive for his or her shared future.
Even if Jess and Jimmy’s relationship differs from earlier NCIS pairings, with this one being performed out extra realistically, that doesn’t imply they’re utterly out of the woods by means of potential issues. Law joined NCIS at Season 18’s finish, and Jimmy and Jessica progressively fell for one another, solely saying “I really like you” earlier this season. That was a fantastic signal, however the actress advised Us Weekly that their relationship can be examined, and it’s not all sunshine and rainbows going ahead. In her phrases:
It does turn into a query of did they leap in too quick, too livid? Is this the correct time? Are they utilizing one another as a crutch, or is that this a authentic love story? And if it’s a authentic love story, is that this going to be a bump or an entire stopping level? . . . I believe that’s how relationships develop is once you’re examined to see how you find yourself coming by means of on the opposite aspect.
While the couple appears to be doing effectively, it’s not stunning that there can be some questions thrown round, even simply hypothetically. And whereas maybe troubling, perhaps that form of shake-up is simply what they want to ensure that their relationship to proceed rising.
Her quotes about not understanding the place issues are going are worrisome, but when they Jimmy and Jessica had been skating by with none relationship issues, then it’s not that lifelike. So it could possibly be an total constructive that the collection is giving them issues to work by means of, even when it’s laborious to observe.
Luckily, Katrina Law loves performing with Brian Dietzen. Their chemistry is what makes the connection work so effectively on-screen, so it’s undoubtedly like a match made in Heaven. It could be a disappointment if NCIS had been to interrupt up Jessica and Jimmy at any level, and Law feels the very same approach:
Brian Dietzen is a superb performing companion, and we’ve got a lot enjoyable working collectively. So, the considered not with the ability to have as many scenes with him is heartbreaking.
Since NCIS was already renewed for Season 22, which can arrive on the 2024 TV schedule later within the fall, that hopefully permits much more time to discover Jessica and Jimmy’s relationship. (Assuming it does not fizzle out earlier than this season’s finish.) Fans ought to anticipate some extra bumps within the highway, however hopefully, it should solely proceed to assist their relationship. At least for Law, it doesn’t sound like she has plans to cease being Dietzen’s scene companion, however you by no means know what might occur.
For now, there doesn’t appear to be plans to utterly destroy Jessica and Jimmy’s relationship, however their future might not be as vibrant as one would hope. It does assist that Katrina Law and Brian Dietzen love performing with one another, plus there’s nonetheless a lot extra to discover with them, individually and collectively. Fans should tune in on Mondays at 9 p.m. ET on CBS to see what occurs with them and the remainder of the staff following that milestone 1,000th episode.
