‘NCIS’ season 14, episode 8 video: Bishop’s dating life front and center

We’ve got a new episode of “NCIS” coming your way Tuesday night, and we know that there will be a serious story at the heart of the hour. Yet, at the same time, there’s going to be a lot of fun within this holiday-themed hour, especially in terms of Ellie Bishop’s dating life.

As you can see in the new promo below, Bishop’s going to be getting a visit from all three of her brothers in Washington! That should be a lot of fun, especially since they are all going to be doing their part to enter protective-mode, trying to ensure that everything is going well for her in life. This of course then leads to further speculation all about one key question, which is going to reverberate throughout really the entire cast: Who is she dating?

At the moment, it doesn’t exactly seem as though there is a clear-cut answer to this question, given that every one of the main characters is going to come bearing one of their own theories on the subject. If we had to guess personally, we’d put somewhere near the top of the list someone like Nick Torres, given that there is a little bit of chemistry there already. Yet, there are also some other possible candidates out there!

We know that for many out there, the dating lives of some of the characters isn’t the main reason they watch the show, but rest assured: This is not going to be the only focus of the episode. The only reason we’re emphasizing it so heavily here is because it’s a little bit harder to set up story-of-the-week plots when a lot of them tend to blend together over time.
