NCIS: New Orleans season 4 episode 7 preview: Kelly Hu guest stars

Following tonight’s episode that was all about Christopher Lasalle, NCIS: New Orleans season 4 episode 7 is going to be moving more towards Patton. This character is going to have a chance to step into the spotlight and in the process, we are also going to meet his ex-wife for the first time! Kelly Hu will be guest-starring in the episode as Anna Yoon. Technically (and as previously reported) Hu has guest-starred on the NCIS franchise before, but it was many years ago. Also, she’s far from the first actress within the franchise to do this.

The NCIS: New Orleans season 4 episode 7 synopsis that CarterMatt has for you below offers up a little more insight as to how Wu as Patton’s ex factors into the story:

“The Accident” – NCIS is called in to investigate after a clinical trial of brain implants in Veterans is hacked. Also, Patton must work alongside his ex-wife, Doctor Anna Yoon (Kelly Hu), who spearheads the project, on NCIS: NEW ORLEANS, Tuesday, Nov. 7 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Is this going to be a story of science? We do think that it will definitely be a little more of a clinical case than what we saw tonight. After all, this is about a hack!

The reason that it’s so important to have this story told (beyond of course the much-needed Patton backstory) is that we’re going to get a chance to see the show balance out some of the action-heavy episodes with something that plays more on science and looking at cases from an analytical perspective. In an effort to stop Chloe in tonight’s episode it was more about manipulation and making sure that you had the right angle as a way to get to her. Luckily, Pride and Lasalle were able to do that before it was too late.
