[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for the NCIS Season 21 premiere “Algún Día.”]
Is Nick Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) a assassin? Nicely, as NCIS exhibits us within the Season 21 premiere, he could be considerably justified, provided that the person who finally ends up useless, Maurice Riva (Al Sapienza), made his and his household’s lives a nightmare after they have been rising up.
However because the episode goes on, it turns into clear that he’s not the one accountable, although he’s defending the individual he thinks is his sister. In any case, “sometime” was what they’d stated as children … which is why he doesn’t even need her to be his lawyer. And in order that’s why TV Insider had to usher in Wilmer Valderrama for our first weekly NCIS aftershow for the CBS drama, NCIS: Case Closed, with our Kate Hahn.
“I had this loopy concept that we should always ship Torres to jail,” Valderrama reveals of the Season 20 finale. Then, he obtained the assist of the community and co-showrunners David J. North and Steven D. Binder. “They went all in. After which, at that time, they needed to work backward,” he explains. “We began actually digging in on the very totally different layers we haven’t peeled away from Torres.” That ultimately all led to that closing scene within the finale, after which it turned a matter of determining what would come subsequent.

Each Torres and his sister attempt to defend one another, with the reality that neither of them killed Riva (one other lady whose life he had made hell did, in self-defense) popping out after he lands himself again in jail (this time not undercover) and is injured badly sufficient to finish up within the infirmary.
“That scene, which is a significant revelation for Torres and his sister, but in addition a significant eye-opening second for Parker [Gary Cole] and McGee [Sean Murray] of seeing his group member that had already decided that he was going to go to this jail to die, and earlier than he died, he was going to attempt to make one thing proper,” Valderrama explains. “When he sees his sister, he seems like we’re now actually in bother as a result of I decided to take this blame figuring out that I’ve no place of return, and now my sister is within the combine and in addition a suspect.”
For the actor, that was a “actually refreshing” scene. “I really feel like I’ve by no means actually seen a scene like that on tv, the truth that they each did what household would do for one another, and that was on the most traumatic second of their lives,” he shares.
