NCIS: Los Angeles season 8 episode 20 return date: When’s it back?

Tonight, NCIS: Los Angeles season 8 episode 19 (“767”) is airing on CBS, and with that you’re going to be seeing a story about everything from airplanes to explosions to all sorts of exciting stuff in between. Unfortunately, you are also going to be seeing the last episode for a couple of weeks.

Due to the Academy of Country Music Awards coming onto the network next week, the NCIS: Los Angeles season 8 episode 20 return date is April 9. In other words, you’ve got a good two weeks to wait in order to see the next chapter of the story.

In order to make that waiting period a little bit easier, though, we do come bearing a few more updates in terms of what you can expect to see.

NCIS: Los Angeles season 8 episode 20 synopsis – “The NCIS team investigates a defense contractor, Rebecca Larmont (Shanna Collins), designing a nuclear attack weapon after her estranged husband, Victor Larmont (Lou Ferrigno Jr.), says he has proof she is selling Navy secrets to a foreign government. Also, Kensi goes undercover as a professional dancer at the Cuban club where the husband works, while Deeks is undercover as the bathroom attendant.”

This episode is entitled “From Havana with Love,” and we do appreciate that there is such a different flair and passion to this story than any that we’ve had a chance to see before. Any Deeks / Kensi undercover mission is going to be fun, and you better hope that Kensi has polished off some Latin dance routines. (Maybe Daniela Ruah went and watched Dancing with the Stars for a few pointers?) Anyhow, this sounds like a fun episode in some ways, and you’ve also got Lou Ferrigno Jr! What’s not to love about getting the son of the former The Incredible Hulk star on the show in a guest spot? There’s a lot of TV pedigree there that’s worthy of being celebrated.

Because of this episode not airing for another two weeks, unfortunately the synopsis is most likely going to be all that we have to go on for a little while. It’s going to take some time before CBS reveals some further details (as in a promo), but we’re excited to learn them and figure out a little more in terms of what lies ahead.
