It has been known Pauley Perrette is going to leave her character as Abby Sciuto in “NCIS” Season 15, and it is going to happen in the upcoming Episode 22, “Two Steps Back.” As the promotional images and the new trailer for the new episode are now revealed, it is heavily teased that she might leave the show in a body bag.
In Episode 21, “One Step Forward,” Abby and Clayton Reeves (Duane Henry) were surprised by a man’s attack. As a brawl happened, Abby tried to help him, but he said, “You think you're better than me? You want to help me? ... You can't." Later on, a shot was heard, and Reeves pushed Abby in the alley.
However, it was not revealed if anyone was hit as the screen suddenly turned to black.
Will Abby die?
In “NCIS” Season 15 Episode 22’s trailer, it looks like Abby is the one who got shot as she is seen lying on a hospital bed while a ventilator is hooked on her. There is even a scene where Nicholas Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) is seen next to a body bag, although it seems like Abby is not yet in it.
In “Two Steps Back” synopsis, on the other hand, an NCIS team member is said to be a hitman’s latest target as proved by some evidence. So, to know who this guy that is seeking vengeance, the group has to look through the old case files.
According to BuddyTV, there is a big possibility the mugger seen in Episode 21 is not really a mugger, but a hitman.
The guy might really be targeting Abby. Although Reeves managed to push her away, it looks like she will end up injured and in a critical condition in “NCIS” Season 15 Episode 22. This might also explain why Abby is in the hospital.
