I thought I was fairly up to date on my NCIS episodes. In the most recent one, Jimmy Palmer mourns his late wife. Um, I don’t remember the episode where she died, and neither do WIKI nor the IMDB. Can somebody get me up to speed on this?

Thanks. The current episode is the first mention of it, then.

Yes, I was equally confused about it at first and had to check it out online, it’s not stated outright but it’s fairly plain that she died of Covid
