Jess’s life plan creates some ripples in her relationship with Palmer.
But first, weve got a murder to solve.
Knight tackles the runner, who smiles wryly up at her and says, Hey, kiddo.

Russell Wong, Katrina Law.CBS
I was just about to call you back.
Is he bummed that he didnt get to strut his stuff on a grisly crime scene?
Is he making the best of it now by requesting soy milk in deference to Fengs lactose intolerance?
Was Feng unaware of the existence of his daughters boyfriend until this very moment?
Biggest yes of the day!
And then theres Knight, silent and uncomfortable in the middle of the crowded elevator as it closes.
Thats right, lady.
Sit with your choices.
Feng quietly suggests they take a page out of the newestJohn Wickflick.
But he snatches a button off his coat and bites into it, dying instantly.
His carefully polite mask drops as he whispers, How could you not mention me to your father?
Knight tries to joke her way out of it, but he presses for the truth.
She’s been chasing that her whole career, although losing her REACT team threw her off course.
He takes her hand as she restarts the elevator, his smile less sunny than usual.
Lets put a little more pressure on that relationship, shall we?
Jimmy who, amirite?
Kasie confirms the results but adds an important fact: Laren Redding was conceived using John McGees donated sperm.
Still, Tims not sure hes ready to meet his bonus sister.
Good thing hes got a case to keep him busy!
A BOLO places her in a nearby motel, and during interrogation, Mei recognizes Feng.
He defers to his daughter as the agent agent in charge.
Cut to that night as Kenny hands over the virus cultures to two suit-wearing men in a dark alley.
Theyre about to fill him full of lead when NCIS swoops in.
Pro-tip: next time, dont outsource their dirty work to a fast-food pirate, Knight tells them.
All thats left to wrap this week is Knight and her plan.
She tells Palmer about the offer to run an NCIS office 7,600 miles away.
I mean… we had a good run?
Knight insists she loves him and invites him to join her and her dad at the diner.
Palmer sends her on ahead, claiming hes got some clean-up to do in his spotless lab.
I dont think hes as okay with all of this as he says he is, friends.
Knight, meanwhile, hopes to see more of him after he retires.
Then Palmer shows up to be properly introduced to his girlfriends father this time.
“I want you to know that I will always support Jessica.
Always, he says firmly.
I really love her.
Aww, good guy Palmer!
