‘NCIS’ season 11, episode 12 preview: Parsa, ‘Kill Chain,’ and what comes next

“NCIS” is going to be taking a breather now for the rest of the fall season, but the good news is that compared to some other shows, you are not going to be waiting for too terribly long for the series to return with new episodes. Tuesday, January 7 is the return date here, and the episode that you are eagerly awaiting for now is entitled “Kill Chain.”

The first thing that you should know is that you’re going to be seeing a return (at least in the form of a mention) of Parsa, the Big Bad for this season so far. Also, you will get a chance to see another blast from the past Agent Gibbs, just in case you didn’t get that enough with his ex-wife last week. Take a look at the full synopsis below via CBS:

“When a stolen drone is linked to the elusive terrorist Parsa, the NCIS team partners with the Department of Defense, including Gibbs’ former girlfriend Hollis Mann, to track down the device before it is used for a large scale attack. Meanwhile, McGee hesitates to ask for time off to attend a black-tie gala honoring his girlfriend, on NCIS, Tuesday, Jan. 7 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Susanna Thompson guest stars as Hollis Mann, Gibbs’ ex-girlfriend.”

This release should also make it pretty clear that you are going to be seeing Margo Harshman once again in the role of Delilah, and we know already that she has more than one additional appearance in the works here. We’ve liked the added dynamic of her into the mix, especially if her scenes are with Abby. For all McGee / Abby shippers, that just makes everything all the more interesting / complicated.
