TVLINE | Back in January, there was that episode where Torres and Bishop – shortly after she nearly died — were trapped in adjoining cells in an old sheriff’s office’s, and she was standing on a pressure-sensitive bomb trigger…. And there was a gap in time where I felt like something could have happened, or been said, between them that the audience wasn’t privy to. Plus, there’s the whole, unaccounted-for COVID time jump. Is there any light to be shed on things that happened between them that we don’t yet know about?

Wilmer | Definitely this season, we will crack that. We’re coming to a crossroads for these two characters where they have to really be honest about who they are to each other and who they are to themselves. That’s something that I think the writers have done very well, in a breadcrumb type of way. The question of what they are outside of the badge is something that will be addressed this season. There is a big moment they are going to experience — and who knows, is it the moment they wanted, or a moment they didn’t want? [Laughs] Should they not break a Gibbs Rule, or should they just go for it? We’re going to play with that notion, and since there are only a few episodes left, I would say it’s coming up soon!
