The episode itself didn’t confirm that Emily Wickersham’s Bishop was gone for good, but her Instagram post certainly seals that deal for fans who were wondering if the team would come in during Season 19 and clear her name.

NCIS will be back for Season 19, on Mondays (!!!) at 9 p.m. EST, but for more to watch in the meantime, check out our guide to 2021 summer TV!
Though, I wouldn’t bet on everyone being totally over losing Bishop when things start up again next season, even though it looks like Torres already has a new partner who could help fill things in.
