We Finally Know When We'll See Palmer's Daughter On NCIS

In a recent post to his Instagram page, Dietzen shared a photo of himself and a young girl relaxing on production chairs in front of the green screen of MTAC (Multiple Threat Alert Center) on the set of "NCIS." In the post's caption, Dietzen asked the question, "Who's ready to meet Victoria?" Beneath this simple question, Dietzen appears to confirm that "NCIS" fans will finally meet Victoria Palmer, the daughter of Jimmy and his late wife, on February 28.

Dietzen's post is notable in a number of ways. Palmer's wife gave birth to their daughter and named her after Ducky's late mother in Season 12, Episode 13 ("We Build, We Fight"). However, Victoria's role in the upcoming episode will be her first appearance in the series since her birth. In the past few seasons, she has been mentioned a number of times, including in the aftermath of her mother's death from COVID-19 in Season 18 and as a recipient of a scholarship established in Gibbs' name in Season 19.

"NCIS" has been on a short hiatus since the release of Season 19, Episode 12 ("Fight or Flight") on January 24, but is now expected to return on February 28. According to a previous Twitter post by Dietzen, this episode will also include the reappearance of Meredith Eaton as Carol Wilson.
