NCIS Season 22 Just Insulted Pauley Perrette’s Abby (& Accidentally Shows What It Has Been Missing)

NCIS fans were recently left stunned after Season 22 seemingly insulted Pauley Perrette’s beloved character, Abby Sciuto, in a subtle but glaring way. During a particular scene, the show made a passing reference that many took as a direct dig at Abby’s unique personality and her contribution to the team. Fans quickly took to social media to voice their disappointment, feeling that the show had not only undermined Abby’s character but also failed to recognize what made her such an integral part of the NCIS legacy.

This moment, however, inadvertently highlighted just how much the series has missed Abby’s presence. Her quirky, energetic persona and her dynamic with the rest of the team were central to the show’s success, and since her departure, the series has struggled to fill that void. The insult, while seemingly minor, has only amplified the absence of Abby’s spirit, making it clear that the show hasn’t quite found a replacement for the heart and energy that she brought to NCIS over the years.
