Throughout the 22 seasons of NCIS, the series has always excelled when it brings in the main characters\u2019 family members as guest stars. With fan favorites like Ralph Waite\u2019s Jackson Gibbs and Robert Wagner\u2019s Anthony DiNozzo Sr., these roles have contributed to the development of the core team. They also provide insight into whom these characters were before joining NCIS, and presents a side of them they don\u2019t often show at work. A recent example of this on NCIS is the introduction of Jessica Knight\u2019s (Katrina Law) sister, Robin Knight (Lilan Bowden). Making her debut in the NCIS Season 20 Thanksgiving episode, Robin is shown to be a free spirit with a new fianc\u00e9 (her fifth one, to be exact) \u2014 much different than Jessica\u2019s serious by-the-book approach to life.<\/p>\n

In a report from TVLine, Law teases that Robin will be returning in a future NCIS Season 22 episode. She notes that Jessica \u201cmay have to be protective of people from [her] sister.\u201d The last time Robin was seen, her recent fianc\u00e9 turned out to be dating her just to get close to Jessica and kill her. Robin went from selling $30 soap bars to being a spiritual EMT, so this tease from Law is a very intriguing hook to Robin\u2019s upcoming appearance.<\/p>\n

Since Jessica left the REACT team at the start of NCIS Season 22, she\u2019s been in a strange state between turning down her dream job and her breakup with Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen). Robin coming back might just be the push she needs to readjust and reflect on what her new goals are. In NCIS Season 20, Episode 8, the sisters were at odds and passive-aggressive with one another. While Jessica was the one to give Robin a wake-up call in that episode, it might be Robin\u2019s turn to do the same for her sister.<\/p>\n

Since Law said Jessica is going to have to protect people from Robin, one can\u2019t help but wonder if Robin was trained to be a fighter as well. The Season 22 episode with Robin will be their first one together since NCIS introduced their father, Feng Zhao (Russell Wong). Seeing that Feng is a well-regarded NCIS agentadds a clue to what the Knight sisters\u2019 upbringing was like. Jessica was the one who followed his career path, but with Robin\u2019s carefree attitude, it\u2019s clear she didn\u2019t want anything to do with being part of law enforcement. Or did Feng\u2019s tough parenting style set high expectations for his daughters that Robin couldn\u2019t handle? Jessica\u2019s history outside of her jobs has yet to be uncovered, so this new episode with Robin is the opportunity to unpack any unresolved issues between the sisters.<\/p>\n

When the Knight sisters reunite, they might be able to relate to each other much more. Robin lacked stability as she jumped between different jobs and relationships. When Jimmy and Jessica have a mutual breakup in NCIS Season 22, Episode 4, they both agree they need to individually focus on themselves. Jessica says Jimmy needs someone to provide him with stability, while he says Jessica needs someone spontaneous. Jessica could start to understand Robin\u2019s carefree attitude better after hearing what Jimmy had to say.<\/p>\n

Most of Jessica\u2019s monumental episodes in NCIS are tied to other characters, such as Jimmy, Robin, and Feng. While it\u2019s been proven that family members appearing in the series is a great way to further develop a character, Jessica hasn\u2019t gotten much time to independently grow. Whether it\u2019s before or after the episode Robin appears in, it\u2019ll be interesting to see how Jessica works toward discovering who she is and what she wants.<\/p>\n
