Bishop Back on NCIS: Emily Wickersham Teases a Grayer Comeback and Torres Chemistry

Emily Wickersham returns as Ellie Bishop in NCIS’ March 3 midseason premiere, arriving with “baggage” and a grayer path after leaving in 2021. In an exclusive chat with TV Insider, she reveals Bishop is working in a gray-area role and is now the target of the NCIS Elite, while rekindling her complex dynamic with Torres (Wilmer Valderrama). The interview also touches on the evolving Bishop–Knight and Bishop–McGee relationships, the lingering kiss between Bishop and Torres, and the episode being directed by Rocky Carroll.
