NCIS season 22 has been relatively great for romances, but the show in itself hasn\u2019t been so great for relationships overall. NCIS season 22, episode 16, \u201cLadies Night,\u201d has particularly shown how relationships often come second to Alden Parker\u2019s team. The NCIS characters all deserve to find love, but the episode raises the point that maintaining a relationship comes with a lot of sacrifices.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cLadies Night\u201d showed the NCIS men and women separating for their own activities after solving a tragic case. The ladies\u2019 night even brought Robin back to the show and featured her, Kasie, and Jessica participating in what should have been a fun pottery night. However, the episode proved that romance and relaxation are not always the top priority for NCIS agents.<\/p>\n

Ruined Ladies\u2019 Night Reveals Robin\u2019s Grudges Against Nick
\nWork Is Prioritized Over Nick\u2019s Relationship With Robin<\/h3>\n

After Kasie and Jessica can not stop thinking about the case and the circumstances surrounding it, they use one of the pottery kilns to test out their theories about a melted necklace on the victim. While doing so, they damage one of the kilns and ruin Robin\u2019s pottery night, as they are quickly kicked out of the event. Later, Robin reveals that Kasie and Jessica\u2019s intense thought process behind their activities only mirrors Nick\u2019s own actions when he\u2019s supposed to be relaxing with her.<\/p>\n

Robin\u2019s feelings show that it is hard to be in a relationship with an NCIS agent because they are always working. Even Jessica and Kasie could not put their brainstorming aside for one night to enjoy Robin\u2019s planned ladies\u2019 night. The sentiment is likely strengthened in Robin\u2019s relationship with Nick because, instead of feeling like a top priority as a romantic life partner, she feels cast aside in favor of his work.<\/p>\n

Being Part Of MCRT Demands A Lot Of Sacrifices From Its Agents
\nNCIS Agents Need To Think Like An Agent At All Times<\/h3>\n

Nick and Robin are not the first NCIS couple to struggle with balancing their romantic and personal lives. Ellie also struggled with these same issues with her first husband. Behind the scenes, not many NCIS members were even able to maintain long-term romantic relationships, and it was likely because of their work. Even Gibbs struggled, partly because of his trauma from the deaths of Shannon and Kelly, and partly because of his commitment to the job. He had romantic interests, but he had more breakups than successful partners.<\/p>\n

The agents have a hard time maintaining any personal relationships because of how demanding their job is.<\/p>\n

The MCRT agents have a hard time maintaining any personal relationships because of how demanding their job is. They are called to scenes at all times of the day and are always working or thinking like an agent. To have a successful relationship, the agents\u2019 partners need to be understanding and accepting of that. If Robin and Nick want to have a strong relationship, they need to be open about their concerns and talk them out. Otherwise, they might just be added to the list of broken NCIS couples.<\/p>\n
