I feel Kasie would similar to a little bit enjoyable. Actually, it’s robust when your work is ensuring that the US Navy doesn’t succumb to some form of loopy hostage state of affairs. So I feel perhaps simply somebody to play amongst us with, does anyone play amongst us anymore? I don’t know.
And in addition somebody who understands the work and it appeared like Paige did…
It appeared like Paige was all the way down to clown. Paige was printing out papers and I feel Paige might perhaps get into naval crimes, could possibly be enjoyable.
Rocky Carroll directed this episode. Discuss being directed by him.
You understand what? It’s so humorous. Rocky has directed now two form of Kasie-centric episodes. He additionally did [Season 21’s] “Lifeline.” He’s completely one in all my favourite administrators.

I do wish to see extra women night time outs for Kasie, Knight, and Robin. As we see, they will clear up a case collectively, too.
Sure, and there’s so many cool individuals we might get in there. We might get Delilah [Margo Harshman] in there. We might get Carol Wilson in there. That’s performed by Meredith [Eaton]. Hey, perhaps we even get a uncommon Ziva [Cote de Pablo] look. Who is aware of?
I imply, that spinoff is coming…
It’s, precisely!

Oh my gosh. Okay. So I’ve to be trustworthy. I feel that’s the one time that I’ve been nervous as a result of he’s so cool. And I’m simply so not, and each time I really feel like I’m simply him and enjoying his songs in my head and he’s speaking to me and I’m like, “I’m sorry, what? I’m going, Mama mentioned knock you out, what?” However he’s so good and he’s so humorous and such a superb presence on set. It’s actually very enjoyable to be working with him.
What are you able to say concerning the Sam and Kasie dynamic in that episode?
I simply wish to begin off by saying I tousled as a result of the primary time I heard that he was going to be on the present, I jokingly mentioned to the writers, “Just be sure you have a Sam and Kasie scene,” realizing that I completely would freak out and fangirl if it occurred. They usually have been like, okay. After which they did it. And now each time he comes on, there’s all the time a Sam and Kasie scene and so in it, I’m all the time very calm.

Some other returning characters arising?
You’ll have to look at and see.
What was your favourite scene to movie from tonight’s episode?
Undoubtedly the pottery studio. If you find yourself truly throwing pottery, you get messy, you get that slip on you, you get that clay on you, and it ruins your outfit. They stored having to go, no, you possibly can’t sit. So once I lastly received an opportunity to take a seat on the wheel and form that stunning vase that Kasie finally ends up making, it was a number of enjoyable for me.
Are we going to see Kasie out of the lab extra this season going ahead? Or is she primarily again within the lab after this episode?
There’s a number of navy crimes that come up, in order that they put Kasie again within the lab, however I’m excited to see what she does now that we all know we’ve got Season 23!
With whom does Kasie have essentially the most vital dialog arising?
I feel it’s virtually all the time Palmer [Brian Dietzen]. I feel that’s the person who she confides in essentially the most and is simply best for her to confide in, whether or not on goal or by chance.
Yeah, I used to be going to ask if there any good scenes arising with these two as a result of I like their friendship.
I love their friendship. And I nonetheless keep in mind the day approach again when Brian was like, “You and I are mates in actual life.” And I used to be like, “We’re?” I used to be so excited. That’s my buddy for actual.
Parker remains to be digging into his mom’s demise. What’s arising? Is Kasie going to become involved? It’s primarily been Knight, then Palmer’s drawing the sketch and it looks as if slowly different individuals are turning into a part of it.
Yeah, Kasie’s all the time going to be there to help her mates and simply being the forensic scientist, she is ready to get some info that different individuals don’t. However the Parker story does actually get private primarily with Knight.
What else is arising for Kasie?
I hope a trip someplace tropical.
What are you hoping to discover in Season 23?
I wish to see some individuals from Kasie’s previous come again. We had her finest pal earlier than. We haven’t heard from him. I’d additionally prefer to see a little bit little bit of the issues that Kasie doesn’t like. Kasie’s very keen about nearly each case and a number of completely different components. However I wish to see the couple issues that Kasie form of goes, Nope, I received a boundary round that. Nope, can’t do it.
Like what for instance?
I don’t know. She’s been by a lot. She was apparently okay with going by pig manure and likewise used blood draw needles, so I’m not precisely certain. After which one in all my first episodes was they’d been going by a farm with, I assume pigs had eaten a useless physique. There was additionally the one the place she needed to pressure physique components out of a sizzling tub that had been cooked. So I’m not likely certain the place that boundary is, however I’d prefer to see her not cross one.
Are there any characters you’d prefer to see her work together with extra?
I like when I’ve McGee scenes. I completely love that. I feel that Kasie and Tim simply ping off one another so nicely in that type of technical form of approach. I additionally simply love working with Sean. I like simply attending to hit the ball backwards and forwards with him, him and Gary. This can be a dream visitor.
What have been a few of your favourite scenes from the season to movie?
I positively cherished all the ladies night time stuff. I’ve had some actually enjoyable squad room interruptions. I all the time do type of love Kasie simply listening to that final phrase and being like, “Wait a minute. Maintain on. Maintain the presses.” Right here’s a enjoyable backstory. Gary has discovered that I actually love previous timey slang like “Rats!” when someone’s upset they usually simply say “rats.” So anytime he learns new previous timey slang, he’ll come and he’ll convey it for me and I similar to keel over in laughter. It’s a number of enjoyable to work with him.
