He’s not the killer although he does have killer biceps.

But you know who has no problem working with that nature-loving hottie?

Palmer, who trusts Knight to keep it professional.

“Leave No Trace” – Agent Knight’s past resurfaces when her ex-boyfriend, a National Parks Service agent, teams up with NCIS to investigate a campsite murder, on the CBS Original Series NCIS, Monday, Oct 10 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network and available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+*.

And besides, he’s busy doing his job.

So is a serial killer hunting in the national parks?

It’s what Knight and Winchester are hoping to discover as they walk the woods together.

When Jess pulls him away from a passing snake, they end up in prime kissing condition.

WOW do I love that Nick knows about Palmer’s secret weapon.

I hope those two regularly text each other exercise and diet tips all the time.

Anyway, Palmer ain’t worried, y’all.

He knows his worth.

And yes, that left her a little worried about getting romantically involved with a coworker.

The team scrambles to bring him in.

Over lunch at the diner, Palmer comes clean with Ducky (David McCallum).

Palmer wants to get to the nickname stage with her too.

He even provides his own handcuffs.

Yep, it’s Greg Walsh, who says there’s more going on here than meets the eye.

He tracks Palmer down in autopsy to talk about does and bucks and mating musk.

At that point, Palmer points out the sticky purple resin on Walsh’s fingers.

From here, things start moving quickly.

The team heads back to the woods, where Winchester’s getting his big ol' bicep bandaged.

Also, it took three times the usual tranquilizers to drop the bear.

Walsh was responsible for hiking in to get it and killed the petty officer who spotted him.

And the episode ends with Knight delivering lunch to the morgue.

She also delivers a note from Winchester that reads, “You’re a good man, doc.”

Here’s hoping a nice couple’s sea salt scrub keeps this happy couple on track.
