In episode 19 "Reasonable Doubts," the Naval Criminal Investigative Service agents work to solve a Navy journalist's murder mystery. The previous segment largely focused on DiNozzo's personal life. A homeless woman claimed that DiNozzo's father is her father too.
Moving on to "NCIS" Season 13 episode 20. According to Spoiler TV's description for "Charade," DiNozzo's identity is stolen and being misused by multiple people but for one purpose--blackmailing Senators. DiNozzo begins the investigation and works to clear his name.
A promo video for "NCIS" Season 13 episode 20 is yet to be unveiled. However, it is expected to be out soon.
In additional news, "Bosch" and "24" actress Sarah Clarke is set to join "NCIS," according to Variety. Clarke reportedly will play the role of Tess Monroe. She happens to be an FBI agent, who has been transferred to New York City from Washington D.C.
Clarke is expected to appear in the last few episodes of "NCIS" Season 13, which happens to be Weatherly's final appearance before he permanently quits the show. According to the report, there is a possibility that Clarke will join the cast as a series regular in Season 14. The show might not be replacing Weatherly directly, but Clarke's character is expected to fill DiNozzo's place in the agency.
The website notes that the "NCIS" Season 14 will feature "some major changes." Monroe is described as "quick-witted, tough, shrewd and sexy."
"We feel so fortunate to have Sarah Clarke joining us to play Tess," the showrunner told the abovementioned publication. "I've been a fan of her's going back to '24' and more recently 'Bosch.' She's a gifted actress, a total pro, and we can't wait to introduce her to our 'NCIS' family and have some fun," he added.
"NCIS" Season 13 episode 20 airs April 5, Tuesday on CBS. Stay tuned for more spoilers and updates. Watch a clip from the show below.
