‘NCIS’ season 14, episode 11 video: Bishop, Qasim, and thinking spots

The first “NCIS” episode of the new year in “Willoughby” is right about here, and we know that there are some serious implications of this aforementioned operation coming up. Yet, at the same time, there’ll be some opportunities for humor before things start to get too intense. The latest example of that is below.

As you can see, the new relationship between Bishop and Qasim is going rather smoothly, as he walks her to her desk while talking about some of the stuff he’s been working on. The biggest thing that we learn about them in here is that while they clearly care about each other, at the same time they’re not necessarily on the same page when it comes to something that has become a signature of the Bishop character: The best thinking spot. She likes to be in the library when she engages in a little problem-solving; meanwhile, Qasim prefers the forest, somewhere that doesn’t have that sort of “musty” book smell coming in and messing things up.

If we were to chime in with our own thoughts on this all-important discussion, we’d say that the library is 150% better all of the time. #TeamBishop, unless the library is either A) on fire or B) filled with a bunch of screaming children fighting over a book. The last place that we’d want to be in January is out in the middle of the chilly forest in Washington with our thoughts. There’s a reason we live in California, people!

Anyhow, the funniest moment of the entire preview is hearing where Nick likes to do most of his thinking — that’s something that we won’t spoil for you, since it’s so much better to just watch and learn (and possibly be horrified — though others will relate to it).
