NCIS: New Orleans season 5 episode 6 spoilers: Geoffrey Owens’ appearance!

Remember the story of Geoffrey Owens? We phrase the question like this because the news cycle moves so quickly. The actor was at the center of headlines earlier this year after being spotted working at Trader Joe’s — now, he’s got a prominent guest-starring gig on NCIS: New Orleans later this month.

This episode is entitled “Pound of Flesh,” and Owens will be making his debut as a character very important to Dwayne Pride. As it turns out, Calvin Atkins is both a friend to him and also someone who can offer guidance to him in the midst of everything he is going through.

“Pound of Flesh” – After Pride’s assistant, Ginny Young (Christina Smith), escapes from a kidnapper, the NCIS team uncovers evidence of a suspect who is harvesting organs from multiple victims. Also, Pride turns to his friend, Commander Calvin Atkins, M.D. (Geoffrey Owens), for medical and spiritual guidance as he struggles with the ramifications of his recent brush with death, on NCIS: NEW ORLEANS, Tuesday, Oct. 30 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

We know that there are probably a number of people out there who want to see Pride back doing some of what he’s used to doing with the rest of the team, and we certainly understand that. Yet, at the same time we also understand why it’s valuable that we see the character elsewhere. If he went back into the thick of things with NCIS, it wouldn’t feel realistic. Even if the evolution is only temporary, Pride does still need to evolve. He can always find his way back to the team down the line. (For the record, we want to see Hannah stick around too — we like the character, and she and Pride could work more in tandem to make sure everything runs smoothly. That’d reduce some of the responsibility on him, which may still help after what he’s gone through.)
