Release and streaming details of NCIS Season 22 Episode 17

NCIS Season 22, Episode 17, titled Killer Instinct, will air on CBS on April 14, 2025, at 9 pm ET. Being a long-lasting CBS staple, the procedural has been a part of the network's Monday nights.

Viewers who wish to stream the latest episode can head to CBS's official streaming partner, Paramount+, with a subscription. You can stream Episode 17 shortly after it airs and access the show's past library on the network.

Since the show's new episode will return after a one-week hiatus, the stakes of the upcoming episode seem high. From the short preview available via CBS, it can be inferred that the team would be after a hitman/contractual killer in Episode 17.

With a new target on his agenda, the team would have to race against time and work on their 'instinct' to catch him and save the next target he is after.

What happened in NCIS Season 22 Episode 16?

Season 22 Episode 16, 'Ladies Night,' saw the team head for a leisurely Friday night. While the men are preparing to play video games, Kasie and Knight are invited to Robin's ladies' night for wine and pottery.

This episode's victim was Petty Officer 1st Class Jennifer Garcia, who was found dead at an antique store that burned in a fire. While her boyfriend, Dan, managed to escape, Jen succumbed to the fire.

An autopsy report revealed that Jen's windpipe was crushed, and a lighter with Dan's initials was also found at the crime scene. The team concluded that Dan had murdered his girlfriend. The team locks him for the night, and the ladies proceed for their night.

While in the pottery class, Kasie and Knight were still on about Jennifer's case, and they received an image showing that Jen was burned with a necklace gifted by Dan. Kasie concludes that the necklace was placed after Jen's death, which means Dan is trying to plant evidence against himself.

On questioning, Dan reveals that he is not the killer but pretended to be the person who killed Jennifer because he did not want the police to know that he was actually out drinking with a friend who was just out from prison. As this would put his parole in jeopardy, he pretended to be his girlfriend's killer.

After seeing that the store's lock was picked, the team concluded that the firefighter had arrived on the scene during the initial fire, as his handprints matched the wounds on Jen's neck. He was trying to rob some rare books and stamps from the store when Jen caught him, and he set the place on fire. The team arrested him.
