Who doesn't love a good mystery? CBS's NCIS is in its 15th season, and actress Emily Wickersham joins Cheddar to give a tease of what the rest of the season will look like. Wickersham plays Special Agent Ellie Bishop on the hit show.
Bishop went undercover before the winter hiatus, and Wickersham says fans will start to see a different side of her character as the rest of the season evolves. Plus, Pauley Perrette, who plays Abby, announced she's leaving after the end of season 15. Wickersham talks about losing her as a castmate and what it will take to fill her spot.

And on a serious note, Wickersham says that it's time for women to be recognized in Hollywood and that the perception of women needs to be changed.
