A short 21-second promo for NCIS season 20 episode 22 briefly depicts several important events set to unfold in the finale. Titled Black Sky, the upcoming episode will focus on Agent Torres, who ends up in prison whilst the team desperately tries to stop a potentially devastating terrorist attack in the US. The official synopsis of the finale, as provided by Rotten Tomatoes, reads:

''Agent Torres finds himself in prison as the team tries to stop an impending terror attack on U.S. soil.''

Apart from that, not much is known about the plot of the show. The previous episode, titled Kompromat, depicted the team trying to investigate a mysterious murder. Their investigation led them to the conclusion that there could potentially be Russian spies involved in the murder, which complicated the case. Elsewhere, Jimmy and Knight's relationship took a huge turn after the former ended up making a shocking confession.

In the upcoming episode, viewers can expect the show to answer most questions, but there will be room for more intriguing sub-plots as the show will return for another thrilling season. The current season continues to enjoy significant viewership and has received critical acclaim.
