What happened in NCIS season 22, episode 17?
NCIS season 22 Episode 17, Killer Instinct, aired on CBS on March 14, 2025. The episode primarily focused on one of the underappreciated members of the MCRT, McGee, who was tasked with protecting the deputy director, LaRoche.
The episode began with the infamous hitman, Paul Norton, also called 'The Poet,' being arrested in a restaurant. He was taken to the MCRT office for interrogation, but he killed himself with toxic pills planted in his hands. He had killed Commander Willis, who worked in the Navy train called Atlas, which carried nuclear fuel throughout the whole country. The team found out that he had been hired to kill another Navy officer associated with Atlas.
Deputy Director LaRoche ordered the team to focus on the murder investigation and not dig any further on Atlas. The team found that Norton's broker was a jeweler, Gemma Wood, who had never met him before. Nick took advantage of this and met her as Norton to extract information from her computer. However, after getting the evidence, when they went to bust her, she had run away.
Parker and the team found out that she had also put a hit on LaRoche, who was at his house hosting dinner for McGee and his wife. McGee and LaRoche shared a heated moment, but when the hitman came to finish the job, they worked together to stall her enough for the MCRT team to arrive.
Here's the official synopsis of the episode:
"After NCIS captures the hitman known as ‘The Poet,’ the team races to uncover who ordered the assassination of a Navy chief."
