The Bishop brothers will soon visit their sister Ellie (Emily Wickersham) on "NCIS." Furthermore, in episode 6, Abby (Pauley Perrette) will be coming up with something that will help bring the team closer together.

It appears that Ellie will be having a family reunion soon in "NCIS" season 14. In an Instagram post on Wickersham's account, the actress introduced Jesse Johnson, Jesse Bradford, and Ryan Doom as the Bishop brothers.

It seems that the Bishop family is a feat to the "NCIS" series. Back in season 13, Ellie's mom – played by "The Bionic Woman" star Lindsay Wagner – was shown in the Thanksgiving episode last season when Ellie went home to Oklahoma.

There are no updates yet on when Ellie's three brothers will appear on the show or why they'll be coming to "NCIS," but it can be anticipated to happen soon.

Meanwhile in episode 6, Abby will be doing something for the sake of team spirit. According to the synopsis of episode 6 titled "Shell Game" released by Cartermatt – "After a kidnapped petty officer escapes her captor, NCIS uncovers a connection to her missing husband. Also, Abby knits the NCIS newbies personalized gifts."

It appears that Abby will be knitting some team sweaters. In one of the episode photos, Quinn (Jennifer Esposito) is seen wearing a black knitted sweater with the words "Welcome to NCIS." The sweaters are especially made for Quinn, Torres (Wilmer Valderrama), and Reeves (Duane Henry) since they are the newcomers to the long-running team of Gibbs (Mark Harmon).

While Abby works on team spirit, the team will be working on a case of a petty officer who was able to escape her captors. The team will soon find a connection between her kidnapping and the disappearance of her husband. NCIS Special Agent Tony Francis ("The NFL Today" studio analyst, Tony Gonzales) will also be returning in episode 6.

"NCIS" season 14 airs every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EDT on CBS.
