‘NCIS’ season 11, episode 11 preview: Pauley Perrette’s Abby loses some holiday cheer

At the start of Tuesday night’s “NCIS” winter finale, everything is at least going to feel pretty happy and cheerful. But just how long is that really going to last? Not very long, based on what we see in the new sneak peek video below.

In this clip, you can see Pauley Perrette’s Abby quickly lose a sizable chunk of her holiday spirit, and with the real reason for it here being that she has just learned the dire truth about an epidemic that is hurting the most innocent of people related to the military: Children. After eight kids all are put on respirators after having suffered some of the same symptoms, there is reason to suspect that some sort of bio-terrorism is involved. In may be the last thing that anyone really wants to hear about at this point in time, but that does not make the threat any less prominent.

As for how the team plans to happen it, that is going to be a story that lasts virtually the entire episode, and will have everyone working together in some form.

Away from the case at hand, the clip also serves as a nice way to learn a few more things about some of the characters’ holiday plans. Bishop is planning to go with her husband on a trip back to Oklahoma to spend a traditional holiday with friends and family, while we are going to seemingly see Tony choose to go for a much more exotic affair as he decides that he wants to have some fun in the sun, and ring in the holiday with a coconut drink in hand. Sound relaxing to anyone else?
