Have you been wondering where Parker is getting those delicious baked goods he brings to work? Well, when the show returns, this question will be answered. NCIS is getting a special guest star, one who is connected to Parker and his love for sweet treats. As we gear up for the midseason hiatus, find out what is to come once the show returns in January 2025.
Melina Kanakaredes, who starred in The Resident, is coming to show as the owner of the bakery shop where Agent Alden Parker gets his baked goods. She will appear in the midseason premiere episode, which is titled “Baker’s Man,” according to TV Insider.
In the episode, Parker learns someone is blackmailing the bakery owner and the team steps in to come to her aid. Plus, what is also special about the episode is that NCIS star Rocky Carroll served as director.

As we saw in the midseason finale, which aired on Dec. 16, another arc that was hinted at involved Agent Nick Torres. He has been seeing someone and it looks like the midseason premiere episode will waste no time in introducing us to his new flame. At least, the team may discover he is dating someone. But will the audience get to meet her?
Executive producer Steven D. Binder even hinted that Parker may harbor feelings for the woman, but she may not be all that she seems. Of course, the show loves to provide twists and turns so she may turn out to be one of the good guys, after all.
He also revealed that she was one character “we’d love to see again.” From the looks of things, they have particular characters they would love to see return and clearly Kanakaredes made an impression on the team at NCIS both on and off-screen.
Kanakaredes is also known for other roles in CSI: New York, Providence, and The Long Kiss Goodnight, among others. It will be great to see her tackle a role alongside Gary Cole and the rest of the NCIS cast.
While it is too soon to tell what to expect when the episode returns, it looks like we will be in for a ride when it comes to all of the characters. From McGee’s distrust of Deputy Director LaRoche, Parker’s baked goods, Torres’s romance, and the will they/won’t they aspect of Jimmy Palmer and Jessica Knight, there’s plenty to look forward to.
NCIS will return to CBS Monday, Jan. 27 at 9/8c.
