In fact, he appeared a couple of times in tonight’s episode before that big reveal, and we watched him working with Bishop on translating transcripts of an interrogation.
No, NCIS revealed that Bishop has been getting romantic with Rafi Silver’s Qasim Naasir, who was first introduced back in Season 12’s “Lost in Translation” as the brother of terrorist Rasheed Naasir.
Thankfully for everyone, Qasim is nowhere near as nefarious as his sibling, and he’s on the right side of the law.
Eagle-eyed viewers, especially ones who always suspect other people are up to no good, almost certainly got suspicious when Gibbs surprised the couple with dinner and they were a little too quick to show just how not together they were just then in that moment there.
