Warning: MAJOR SPOILERS are ahead for the 500th episode of NCIS, "All Good Things," for anyone who hasn't yet watched on CBS or via Paramount+ subscription.
As NCIS continues its 23rd season on CBS, the procedural did something “very atypical” with its milestone 500th episode that aired on Tuesday night. It continued last week’s storyline that saw Vance getting handed the news that the organization would be shutting down, and of course, the episode included some Easter Eggs from throughout the series’ run. Unfortunately, it ended with a major sacrifice, and the boss explains why it had to happen and how the team will move forward into the 2026 TV schedule .
