Things have been undeniably awkward between exes Dr. Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen) and Special Agent Jessica Knight (Katrina Law) since Knight returned to D.C. after her stint at Camp Pendleton. But their long-overdue conversation is finally happening in the November 4 episode of NCIS<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In \u201cSticks & Stones,\u201d as NCIS races to defuse catastrophic threats at multiple locations, Palmer and Knight are forced to address their unresolved issues. Dietzen and Law recently shared insights into playing these tense moments and the dynamic between their characters.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the season\u2019s early episodes, Law explained how fun it\u2019s been to layer in awkwardness after years of building a strong on-screen connection. \u201cNobody does awkward quite like Knight with Shining Palmer,\u201d she joked. Dietzen added that while they were initially cautious about introducing relationship trouble, the creative team assured them they\u2019d get scenes together\u2014just with a twist. This new tension, he said, has made their scenes \u201cinteresting and sometimes challenging.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked who\u2019s more reluctant to confront their feelings, Dietzen and Law agreed it\u2019s a toss-up. The irony lies in Jimmy, the series\u2019 communicator, avoiding the conversation altogether\u2014showing just how much they\u2019re both dreading it.<\/p>\n

The duo\u2019s hand is forced by the looming threat of nuclear war, which Dietzen joked was about the only thing that could get them talking. Even then, they don\u2019t quite say it all. \u201cIf Jess could\u2019ve found a way to crawl out mid-conversation, she would have,\u201d Law laughed.<\/p>\n

Law previously hinted that Knight opens up to Palmer, only for his response to sting a little. Dietzen explained that Palmer\u2019s caution comes from wanting to protect not only his own heart but also his daughter\u2019s. Having lost his wife, Palmer wants any future relationship to be solid and permanent, not another heartbreak.<\/p>\n

On a lighter note, the actors mentioned a revamped set formerly used as Gibbs\u2019 basement, now offering a more personal space where agents can meet outside the formal workspace. Law noted that it even has a fully functional massage chair, which, Dietzen added, \u201cis pretty great.\u201d<\/p>\n
