Jimmy and his wife at the time, Breena Palmer, learned they were going to have a baby towards the end of NCIS season 11. Then, Breena (played by Michelle Pierce) gave birth to a baby girl she and Jimmy named Victoria after Ducky's mother in season 12. Sadly, six seasons later, Breena died offscreen from COVID-19. Jimmy didn't get to say goodbye to his wife at the hospital due to the pandemic's strict protocols, nor could he give Breena a proper memorial. He was heartbroken, of course, as he was left to raise their daughter, Victoria, alone in NCIS.

Victoria Palmer Continues To Be Played By Elle Graper

Victoria First Appeared In Season 19

NCIS season 22, episode 14 serves as Elle Graper's second appearance as Victoria in the series. She was first introduced (at least, onscreen) in season 19, episode 13, "The Helpers." As some may recall, Jimmy and Kasie are exposed to a biotoxin that a bioterrorism group planned on using during the episode. Consequently, the two NCIS main characters are quarantined and, while waiting for the antidote, Jimmy starts hallucinating. He reunites with his wife, Breena, in his mind and finally gets to say goodbye to her, pushing him to stop wallowing in his sadness and move on from her death.

While all this is happening, Torres is tasked with keeping Victoria, who accompanied her dad to work that day, busy. They play video games, and Torres and Jessica Knight even teach the young girl to defend herself against peers who can't take "no" for an answer. Later, Victoria confesses to Torres that she misses how her father "used to be." Ultimately, Jimmy survives, and he and his daughter make amends, paving the way for their dynamic in NCIS season 22, episode 14.
