In a recently released episode of NCIS, audiences saw Torres lie to his team about his holiday plans to hide his new girlfriend from them. Based on what the showrunner of the series has stated, we can assume Torres hid his girlfriend, as someone on the team may have a problem with her.
While it is still not confirmed why Torres hid his new girlfriend, before we delve further into that, let's recap. The first installment in the NCIS franchise, NCIS, is a series belonging to the military police procedural genre.
The series follows the personal and professional lives of special agents who work for the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. The team these special agents belong to is known as the Major Case Response Team.
The cast of the 22-season-long series features Sean Murray, Rocky Carroll, Brian Dietzen, Gary Cole, Katrina Law, and Diona Reasonover. The role of Nicholas Torres is played by Wilmer Valderrama.
Why did Torres lie to the team about his new girlfriend in NCIS?
Episode 9 of season 22 revealed that Torres secretly has a girlfriend he was hiding from the Major Case Response Team. In the episode, Knight and Kasie catch Torres in a lie.
They find out that Torres lied about what he was doing for Christmas. On one hand, he told Tim McGee and Jessica Knight that he was celebrating Christmas with Jimmy Palmer's family, but on the other hand, Torres tells Jimmy he's celebrating with Tim.
When Knight and Kasie find out about his lie, they confront him about his lie. Torres reveals to them that he lied because he wanted to spend Christmas alone while relaxing.
He stated that he lied because he did not want anyone to worry about him being alone. While Kasie and Knight are convinced by what Torres says, the end of the episode reveals the truth.
The end of the episode reveals that Torres lied to Kasie and Knight. He texts someone whom he calls "babe" and asks them to confirm their Christmas plans. Many fans have been wondering why Torres lied to the team.
The showrunner of the series, Steven D. Binder, along with rumors, has teased that Torre's girlfriend is someone whom a member of the team may clash heads with. This could be why Torres hid his secret girlfriend, as revealing her identity would upset someone from the team during the holidays.
Who is Torres dating in NCIS?
Rumors suggest Torres's new girlfriend could be Robin Knight, Jessica's sister, whom she hasn't gotten along with in the past. These rumors are based on the hints dropped by showrunner Steven D. Binder.
Elle Bishop's character has been ruled out as Torres's love interest as she departed from the series after season 18. While talking about who Torres's love interest is and when audiences will find out, Binder stated:
"We're going to meet her very soon. I will tell you that someone who works at NCIS is not gonna be happy about this at all. That's a pretty short list after that...we're gonna do an episode where, Parker brings pastries all the time, we're actually gonna see him buy some pastries and learn he has a little crush on his baker, and the case is going to end up involving the place where Parker buys pastries..That's called 'Baker's Men', we're going to reveal Torres's new girlfriend in that episode. By the way, the person who is going to have the biggest problem with it will also be the last to know."
