We could not be more ready for the burgeoning romance between Jimmy Palmer and Special Agent Jessica Knight (Katrina Law). The first indication that something was afoot was when Jessica invited Jimmy to be her plus-one to her cousin's wedding. And while we can't say for sure what happened there, it wasn't a disaster. That may sound like a low bar, but have you tried dating in 2022... or ever?

In a recent interview with Parade, Brian opened up a bit about their first date/non-date: "When you have a wonderful time on something that is a ‘date-not-a-date,’ and then you both choose not to talk about it to one another, that inevitably will bring up some sort of, ‘Hey, why are we not talking about this, we had a really good time?"

Brian does have a confusing point.

You would think Jimmy would be a bit cautious about a new relationship, but it's actually Jessica who pumps the brakes a bit, not wanting to ruin their friendship. She has a good reason for being concerned. Jessica and Jimmy have been close since she arrived and taking a chance like this is risky on several levels.

Don't worry, we're pretty sure Jimmy and Jessica aren't turning into another Ross and Rachel. At the end of the May 16 episode, Jessica invites Jimmy out for coffee in what looks like a tentative "perhaps" to the idea of them being more than friends. This means we have to figure out a good 'ship name for them. How about Knightmer? Nevermind, that sounds too much like "nightmare." We'll keep working on it.

NCIS airs on Mondays at 9 pm ET on CBS.
