NCIS Season 22 Shocker: McGee in Serious Trouble With the Pentagon!

NCIS Season 22, Episode 12 Puts McGee’s Writing Career in Jeopardy

The next installment in Thom E. Gemcity’s book series may never hit the shelves. In NCIS Season 22, Episode 12, titled “Fun and Games,” Timothy McGee (Sean Murray) finds himself under intense scrutiny after his latest book raises concerns within the Pentagon. Airing on February 10, the episode follows McGee as he’s questioned about whether his fictional story blurs the line between fact and classified reality, potentially exposing national secrets.

Meanwhile, Kasie (Diona Reasonover) faces an investigation of her own when two of her forensic science friends die under mysterious circumstances, putting her personal and professional life under the microscope.

A sneak peek released by CBS gives fans insight into McGee’s predicament. In the clip, Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) questions him about his whereabouts at the start of the episode. “DoD. They had some questions about my new book. Apparently, it’s too close to reality—a classified reality,” McGee explains. While details remain confidential, he expects full disclosure at an upcoming meeting with the Pentagon. However, McGee is unsettled—why would his book attract such high-level interest? Could this signal a bigger issue looming on the horizon?

When Torres inquires about the novel’s premise, McGee reveals that the main character, Delena Fleming, is a talented cryptologist. Torres immediately picks up on the resemblance to McGee’s wife. “The book itself is about the nature of joy,” McGee clarifies. Torres expresses interest in reading it—only to instantly regret it when McGee hands him a soft copy and asks him to flag any potentially classified content. Just like that, Torres finds himself with an unexpected assignment: a book report.

While McGee’s literary troubles unfold, the NCIS team turns its attention to the tragic deaths of Kasie’s friends. After attending her game night, two of them die from poisoning, leading investigators to suspect the toxic exposure happened at her home. As the team delves deeper, they work to uncover the source of the poison and determine whether someone at the gathering is responsible.

With both McGee and Kasie under scrutiny, NCIS Season 22, Episode 12 promises a mix of high-stakes tension and unexpected twists, keeping fans on edge as the drama unfolds.
