Season 22 recently delivered what could have been one of its strongest installments\u2014until an inexplicable plot hole derailed the story. Fans were left questioning how the writers could overlook such a major inconsistency, turning what should have been a gripping episode into a frustrating watch.<\/p>\n<p>The episode built up an intriguing mystery with all the right elements: suspenseful interrogations, an unexpected twist, and strong performances from the cast. However, as the case unfolded, a crucial detail clashed with established NCIS continuity. Whether it was a character forgetting a key piece of information, a contradiction to previous cases, or a timeline error, this plot hole instantly pulled viewers out of the experience.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-99023 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/entert.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/ncis-season-22-300x150.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entert.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/ncis-season-22-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/entert.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/ncis-season-22-1024x512.png 1024w, https:\/\/entert.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/ncis-season-22-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/entert.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/ncis-season-22.png 1400w\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s most disappointing is that the mistake could have been easily avoided. Longtime NCIS fans are well-versed in the show\u2019s history, and many immediately noticed the contradiction. Social media was flooded with discussions about how the episode could have been one of the best in recent years\u2014if only the writers had paid closer attention to continuity.<\/p>\n<p>While no show is perfect, this misstep highlights a growing issue with NCIS in its later seasons: the risk of prioritizing dramatic twists over narrative consistency. To maintain its credibility, the show needs to respect its own history and ensure that new episodes build on past events rather than rewrite them.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2266\" src=\"https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/FB_IMG_1742765231569-237x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"237\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/FB_IMG_1742765231569-237x300.jpg 237w, https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/FB_IMG_1742765231569.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 237px) 100vw, 237px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Despite this frustrating blunder, NCIS Season 22 still has plenty of opportunities to deliver great episodes. If the writers take fan feedback into account, they can avoid similar pitfalls in the future. Hopefully, the next major storyline won\u2019t be overshadowed by an unnecessary plot hole that could have been avoided with better attention to detail.<\/p>\n<div class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-auto kksr-align-right kksr-valign-bottom\" data-payload=\"{&quot;align&quot;:&quot;right&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;107608&quot;,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;valign&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;ignore&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;reference&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;count&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;legendonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;readonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;score&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;starsonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;best&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;gap&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;greet&quot;:&quot;Rate this post&quot;,&quot;legend&quot;:&quot;0\\\/5 - (0 votes)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;NCIS Season 22 Introduced an Unnecessary Plot Hole That Ruined One of Its Best Episodes\\u2014What Went Wrong?&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;_legend&quot;:&quot;{score}\\\/{best} - ({count} {votes})&quot;,&quot;font_factor&quot;:&quot;1.25&quot;}\">\n<div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n<div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n<div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\">\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"2\">\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"3\">\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"4\">\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"5\">\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After more than two decades on air, NCIS knows how to craft a great episode.
