NCIS Fans Speculate on Nick Torres’ Mystery Love Interest After Holiday Episode
NCIS fans are buzzing with excitement after a recent episode hinted at a new love interest for Agent Nick Torres (Wilmer Valderrama). In the episodeโs final moments, Torres received a text asking if their Christmas plans were still on, to which he replied affirmatively, even addressing the sender as โbabe.โ This small but significant moment has sparked a flurry of theories about who could have captured Torresโ heart.
Adding fuel to the speculation, executive producer Steven D. Binder teased fans in an interview with TV Insider, revealing, โI can tell you that weโve seen this person before. This is a character who has been on the show and will be back again. Itโs going to cause some issues with his teamโone member in particular may not be too thrilled.โ
Theories Take Over Reddit
Fans have taken to Reddit to share their theories about Torresโ mystery love interest. One popular idea is that it could be Sarah McGee, the younger sister of Torresโ teammate Timothy McGee (Sean Murray).
โDoes anyone else think this new girlfriend could be Sarah McGee? The show writer has stated that weโve seen this person before, and another person in the squad room is not going to be happy about it,โ one fan speculated.
Another user chimed in, pointing to Timothyโs protective nature: โWeโve all seen how far McBrother will go for his sister, so thereโs no telling how overboard this might send himโฆโ
However, others dismissed this theory, suggesting the timeline makes it less likely. โThink itโs Robin Knight because Sarah McGee is so far removed from appearing on NCIS,โ another commenter argued.
What We Know So Far
Binderโs cryptic hints have left fans scouring past episodes for clues. Whoever the mystery woman is, her return promises to shake up dynamics within the team, particularly with one member who may take issue with the budding romance.
While Torresโ love life has historically been unlucky, fans are hopeful that this new storyline will add depth to his characterโand maybe even bring him a shot at happiness. Until then, viewers will be watching closely, eager to uncover the identity of Torresโ secret โbabe.โ
Who do you think Torresโ new love interest could be? NCIS returns with new episodes on January 27, 2025.
