While there have been over 500 episodes of NCIS, there are some that stand out over others. For some episodes, this is because they&#8217;re more intricate with the case work, which is an interesting part of the series. For other episodes, the character work comes into the forefront and takes precedence, showing viewers more about the inner-lives of the MCRT. NCIS always makes the most of its storylines.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/ncis-season-24-vance-replacement-tony-dinozzo-return-fix\/\" target=\"_blank\">Over the course of 23 seasons<\/a> (and counting), viewers have gotten the chance to see an exciting mix of stories that brings the team into the spotlight in different ways. From the earliest days of NCIS that show off the team as they use new technology to unravel their cases to the current era of the show, which brings Alden Parker (Gary Cole) into the leadership role, the series has been able to evolve with the times. The top episodes of the show according to viewers, however, are an interesting mix of episodes from all different eras of the show.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ldquo-twilight-rdquo\">\n                        \u201cTwilight\u201d<br \/>\n               <\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"season-2-episode-23\">\n            Season 2, Episode 23<br \/>\n    <\/h3>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape \">\n<div class=\"responsive-img  image-expandable  img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:50%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/ncis-sasha-alexander-s-caitlin-22kate-22-todd-looking-concerned.jpg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;&quot;\">\n<figure><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/ncis-sasha-alexander-s-caitlin-22kate-22-todd-looking-concerned.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/ncis-sasha-alexander-s-caitlin-22kate-22-todd-looking-concerned.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/ncis-sasha-alexander-s-caitlin-22kate-22-todd-looking-concerned.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/ncis-sasha-alexander-s-caitlin-22kate-22-todd-looking-concerned.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 1023px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/ncis-sasha-alexander-s-caitlin-22kate-22-todd-looking-concerned.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/ncis-sasha-alexander-s-caitlin-22kate-22-todd-looking-concerned.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/><img width=\"1650\" height=\"826\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"NCIS Sasha Alexander's Caitlin Todd looking concerned\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/ncis-sasha-alexander-s-caitlin-22kate-22-todd-looking-concerned.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" src=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/ncis-sasha-alexander-s-caitlin-22kate-22-todd-looking-concerned.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/>\n        <\/picture><figcaption style=\"display: none;\">NCIS Sasha Alexander&#8217;s Caitlin &#8220;Kate&#8221; Todd<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Although Special Agent Kate Todd (Sasha Alexander) wasn&#8217;t a part of <em>NCIS <\/em>for long, she left her mark on the series for years, even with the second season finale being her last regular appearance on the series.
