The NCIS team finds three dead bodies on a Navy ship in the NCIS Season 21 finale. That’s a usual day, right? Well, there is a lot more going on in this episode that you would initially think.

Knight and Parker are the ones who find the bodies on the ship in the NCIS Season 21 finale. This should be a routine investigation, except that the ship is going to be sunk to turn into an artificial reef. It’s going to be a race against time to get to the bodies and get them out and then investigate the crime scene.

Things take a turn when Knight and Parker are locked in that ship. Do people know where they are? Could then end up at the bottom of an ocean? That’s definitely something to be worried about.

NCIS 21×10 promo

The promo for the episode certainly has us worried about Knight and Parker—more Knight, though. Parker is either pushed or he falls, and he ends up hurting himself. That could be the part where the two are locked in the ship.

The fear for Knight comes at the end of the promo. Palmer and Torres race through the ship when they find out their agents are down there. Knight is in some water, and it looks like she’s been left for dead. Will she drown, or will Palmer be able to get to her in time?

I could see this being a huge moment for Palmer and Knight. Palmer is terrified of losing someone close to him again, but he knows how dangerous Knight’s job is. If he wasn’t willing to deal with that risk, then he wouldn’t be with her anyway. However, this could help him share just how much he wants her to be with him and they go further than just moving in with each other. Could we see him propose?

NCIS 21×10 synopsis

The synopsis for the episode tells us of the location that the bodies have been found. The ship is going to be turned into an artificial reef, and that means it’s going to be sunk. Of course, the investigation is going to cause problems, but Knight and Palmer need to get word of the bodies. They’re trapped in the ship by someone mysterious, who is sure not to tell anyone that there are two very much alive humans in the ship.

The synopsis also tells us that Vance offers Knight “unique” opportunity. Is this to run her own team? That’s not all that unique. Is it to become assistant director, as we know that this was something she was aiming for at some point? What will it mean for her and Palmer?

“Parker and Knight discover three bodies on an old Navy ship that’s about to be sunk and turned into an artificial reef, when they’re suddenly locked inside by a mysterious figure. Also, Vance offers Knight a unique opportunity”

The NCIS Season 21 finale airs on Monday, May 6 at 9/8c on CBS.
