Throughout the fourth season of the show, it was clear to the NCIS: NOLA team that something was eating at Agent Percy. She seemed restless and distracted, and made a few bad calls that were out of character. In her penultimate episode on the show, “Welcome to the Jungle,” Percy revealed that she interviewed for a position with the FBI. Her issues, it seems, were caused by a nagging feeling that she needed to move on to something new.
Although she was offered the FBI job, Percy initially declined it, as she didn’t want to upset her NCIS squadmates. In Percy’s final episode, “High Stakes,” she and Agent LaSalle were assigned to work a sting operation at a poker game. It all went well, until it didn’t. Percy ended up in an SUV with the perp they were tracking and, in a split-second decision, she rolled the vehicle to prevent him from getting the upper hand on her.
It was a very risky move that ended up paying off, but it was further proof that Percy’s instincts were being affected by her feeling of restlessness. In the end, Percy realized that the only reason she turned down the FBI job was to avoid disappointing other people, which wasn’t the correct decision to make for herself. At the end of the episode, she announced her departure from the team.
