NCIS Season 23 Episode 3 took a detour from serious content, offering a laugh-out-loud hour with the B Team.
The episode started with Nick being pulled aside, seemingly sidelined for duty, but this plot point was a red herring unrelated to his chat with Director Vance.
Agent Dale Sawyer, last seen in NCIS Season 22 Episode 15, made a surprising return, working with Jessica. Torres then appeared, jumping on the hood of a car, demanding Sawyer get away from Jessica.
Jessica received an offer to join future NCIS Elite missions, while Nick's storyline from the previous episode was continued.
Not only was Nick pulled aside at the end of NCIS Season 23 Episode 2, but Jessica also got an offer.
Author's summary: NCIS Season 23 Episode 3 brings humor and unexpected plot twists.
