The 2025-2026 television season is winding down soon, which is hard to believe, and this is true for NCIS. The hit CBS series, which will be going into its 24th season after the summer, is set to finish Season 23 in mid-May. But what do we know about the season finale?

CBS recently released the synopses for its television schedule for upcoming finales, including NCIS. Since there are still a handful of episodes to go before the finale, we really do not know what to expect for the characters themselves.

The episode, titled “Sons and Daughters,” makes mention of a coffee shop bombing that occurred a year prior and how a current attack was connected. According to the synopsis, the coffee shop attack had been believed to be the work of a lone wolf, but now it appears not to be the case.

As well as investigating the bombing, the synopsis mentions the case will lead the team to face “legacy and loyalty.” This particular section of the synopsis is interesting, and we wonder if mistakes were made under Director Leon Vance’s instructions. This could make the team feel protective of his legacy, but is that what is happening or something else?
