Yahoo Lifestyle Who Is Nick Torres Marrying on Tonight's 'NCIS'?
Things have been rough on NCIS since it returned from its midseason break when Jessica Knight (Katrina Law) learned that Nick Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) was dating her sister Robin (Lilan Bowden) and hadn’t bothered to tell her. It’s hard to know exactly why Knight is so perturbed. She says it’s because she knows her sister and when the two break up–inevitably and badly–she doesn’t want to have to choose between her sister and her partner.

So, when Nick keeps showing up for work tired from lack of sleep, Knight gives him a hard time thinking it's because he's doing late nights with Robin. It turns out that it isn’t Robin at all, but rather Nick’s on an undercover assignment to infiltrate a criminal gang, and that’s what’s giving him sleepless nights.
Nick manages to infiltrate the gang successfully. But at one point when Nick is doing a check in with Knight, his cover is almost blown, but a quick lie on the part of Knight that she and Donny -- his undercover name -- are engaged to be married saves him, and with that lie in place, Parker (Gary Cole) comes up with the idea of staging a fake wedding for two of its own in an attempt to take down the head gangster.
“You want to do what?!” NCIS Director Leon Vance (Rocky Carroll) asks in disbelief when the idea is brought to him.
Parker explains that if they’re going to do it, they’re going to do it right. That means a budget for flowers, the cake, the wedding dress, music, and food and drink. And Knight's sister Robin, who's been engaged five times, is just the right person to be the wedding planner of her sister's fake wedding to her boyfriend.
Funnily enough, the idea was generated by a real-life sting that was done in Michigan in September 1990, which led to the arrest of 86 drug dealers in Owosso, MI.
In the end, Knight sees Torres and Robin together on the dance floor and realizes that as Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen) told her, they are really happy together. So, Knight makes a toast -- pretending it's to her husband -- but in actuality, letting Torres and Robin know that she has gotten past her fear of ending up alone if they get together and that she's happy for them.
So, did the sting work? Absolutely. The whole crime gang is arrested and the head of the organization is revealed to be a woman who came to the wedding as a plus one.
NCIS airs 9 p.m. ET/PT on CBS. Steams next day on Paramount+
