NCIS season 23 episode 16 spoilers: Rocky Carroll returns to direct

As many out there likely know at this point, Rocky Carroll is no longer a series regular on NCIS — and yes, this is something that will be painful for a while. It is hard for it not be! Vance was such an incredible part of the team and it is going to be tough for a while to not have him around.

Now that we’ve said that, let’s just go ahead and address another subject: Carroll is not gone from the world altogether. We knew last week that he would be coming back to direct and now, we know exactly when that will be. The actor is taking the helm for season 23 episode 16 airing on April 14, one that does seem to play mostly into the show’s roots — one with a great mystery front and center.

To learn more, all you have to do is check out the full NCIS season 23 episode 16 synopsis below:

“S.O.S.” – A Navy lieutenant resurfaces a year after her plane vanished with a story that doesn’t quite add up. As the team peels back the mystery of a crash that was anything but accidental, every answer sparks a new twist, on the CBS Original series NCIS, Tuesday, April 14 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+ (live and on demand for Paramount+ Premium plan subscribers, or on demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the episode airs)*. Episode directed by Rocky Carroll.

As we have said in the past, we do think that at some point, the show is going to take a much closer look at the new Director and what could end up happening there. Yet, they have no real reason to hurry that process along given what the show has established on-screen. It seems like in the immediate future, some people will take it on in rotation.
