The NCIS cast introduces the father of Agent Jessica Knight during the March 25 episode.
Special Agent in Charge Feng Zhao finally appears, with the powerful man set to share screen time with Dr. Jimmy Palmer.
Jimmy and Jessica have been in a relationship for a while now, all while dealing with the complications of working together.

Feng Zhao is introduced on NCIS Season 21, Episode 5. The episode is called The Plan and debuts on Monday, March 25 at 9/8c.
