Collider Debuts Sneak Peek of NCIS Season 24 Episode 'Ride or Die'
The clip shows Nick Torres repairing a getaway vehicle and accepting a cross-border job offer from John Smith.
Collider has published an exclusive sneak peek from the NCIS Season 24 episode "Ride or Die," the outlet reported. The clip centers on Nick Torres, played by Wilmer Valderrama.
In the footage, Torres repairs a getaway vehicle while a kidnapping victim is watched by the character John Smith, played by James Frain. Smith asks Torres whether he has a passport and offers him a bigger job across the border, which Torres accepts.
The scene puts Torres back in undercover territory. Earlier in Season 24, in Episode 3, he was confronted by a killer using his old undercover identity, Dante Navarro.
Season 24 has also brought other familiar faces into the flagship series. In October 2025, Michael Weatherly's Tony DiNozzo returned as the new NCIS director, while Mark Harmon's Gibbs and Emily Wickersham's Ellie Bishop came back for an off-the-books mission on Origins. NCIS: New York gave LL COOL J's Sam Hanna a regular role again this season.
