The fourteenth season of NCIS an American police procedural drama originally aired on CBS from September 20, 2016, through May 16, 2017.
NCIS revolves around a fictional team of special agents from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, which conducts criminal investigations involving the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. This season brought three new characters: Wilmer Valderrama as NCIS Special Agent Nicholas "Nick" Torres, formerly working with an undercover unit, Agent Alexandra "Alex" Quinn (Jennifer Esposito), and Clayton Reeves (Duane Henry), an MI6 Senior Officer and liaison to NCIS.
On streaming platforms Netflix and Amazon Prime, some of the episodes are out of order. For example, episode 8 (Pay to Play) and episode 9 (Enemy Combatant) have been uploaded in each others' places - and are even logged incorrectly on this page. This is evident by the return of character Clayton Reeves in episode 9 despite already being a part of the team in episode 8. Episodes 13 and 16 may also be out of order.

|ShortSummary = After a car explodes, killing a Navy officer, the team discovers that the intended target was his wife—the sister to deep cover NCIS agent Nick Torres, who disappeared months earlier in Buenos Aires while investigating criminal businessman Leo Silva (a failed target in the past for Gibbs' mentor Mike Franks). Torres re-emerges after realizing his cover was blown by his sister coming to Argentina to search for him. Torres begs Gibbs to let him help close the case, as he knows that Silva wants him and his family dead. His only way of ensuring the safety of his sister and niece (and staying alive himself) is for Silva and his son to be safely removed from their power for a very long time. Meanwhile, Special Agent Quinn shadows the team to figure out the type of agent Gibbs is looking for. In the end, Torres and Quinn both join the team.
Note: First appearance of Wilmer Valderrama as Nick Torres. First appearance of Jennifer Esposito as Alex Quinn. First in universe appearance of Patrick Labyorteaux as Navy Captain Bud Roberts since the JAG series finale in 2005.
