When\u00a0NCIS<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0returns with season 23, viewers can look forward to the return of a 12-year-old twist honoring one of the show\u2019s best and most deserving characters. Sure, the CBS military police procedural TV series has featured numerous beloved figures throughout its 22-year run. However, some\u00a0NCIS<\/em> characters have been neglected, meaning it\u2019s time for them to step into the spotlight.<\/p>\n

NCIS<\/em>\u00a0season 23\u00a0picks up where the previous finale left off, with Alden Parker reeling after his father\u2019s death. His team will attempt to help him, but Parker won\u2019t be exactly stable in the upcoming episodes. Parker and his need for vengeance won\u2019t be the only storyline come season 23, though, as one character is expected to get their own episode.<\/p>\n

NCIS Season 23 Will Feature A Day In The Life Episode Following Jimmy Palmer<\/h2>\n

Season 10 Had A Similar Ducky Episode<\/h3>\n

In exciting news, one\u00a0NCIS<\/em>\u00a0season 23 episode will be all about Brian Dietzen\u2019s Jimmy Palmer (per\u00a0TV Insider<\/em>). Said hour will function as a \u201cday in the life\u201d following the chief medical examiner, similar to how season 10, episode 16, \u201cDetour,\u201d revolved solely around Jimmy and Donald \u201cDucky\u201d Mallard. As some may recall, Jimmy and Ducky got kidnapped during that episode.<\/p>\n

So, 12 years after \u201cDetour,\u201d the series will bring the twist back just for Jimmy. Perhaps the upcoming\u00a0episode of\u00a0NCIS<\/em>\u00a0season 23 won\u2019t exactly mirror it, though, and feature Jimmy being taken. As for what the Jimmy-centric hour entails, fans must wait to learn more. All that we know is that it centers around Jimmy and might be written by Dietzen.<\/p>\n

Essentially, as\u00a0NCIS<\/em>\u00a0executive producer Steven D. Binder told\u00a0TV Insider<\/em>, the season 23 episode will be structured as \u201cthe world through the eyes of Jimmy.\u201d Whether that means the hour includes the team simply solving a case, but it\u2019s filmed from Jimmy\u2019s point-of-view, or that its main plotline concerns Jimmy is up in the air. Only time will tell the truth.<\/p>\n

Jimmy Is The NCIS Character Who Most Deserves This Focus<\/h2>\n

Jimmy Is Worthy Of The Attention<\/h3>\n

Dietzen\u2019s character getting his own episode is quite exciting because he deserves it (yes, even more so than Timothy McGee). A character who belongs to an ensemble cast receiving a \u201cday in the life\u201d segment is a special honor, and Jimmy is worthy of having one bestowed upon him. He\u2019s one of\u00a0NCIS<\/em>\u2018s longest-running characters\u00a0and the heart of the show, after all.<\/p>\n

NCIS<\/em>\u00a0introduced Jimmy in season 1 as an assistant medical examiner. Now, he\u2019s the chief medical examiner and has undergone a lot of growth in the police procedural series. Jimmy was the comic relief, and while he\u2019s still funny, he\u2019s taken much more seriously. Given his development, history, and likability, it\u2019s only right that\u00a0NCIS<\/strong><\/em> season 23 dedicate an episode to Jimmy.<\/p>\n

NCIS<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0season 23 premieres on Tuesday, October 14, at 8 pm ET on CBS, followed by the releases of\u00a0NCIS: Origins<\/em>\u00a0season 2 at 9 pm ET and\u00a0NCIS: Sydney<\/em> season 3 at 10 pm ET.<\/strong><\/p>\n
