NCIS: Hawai'i is back after a short one-week break. The show was supposed to air the tenth episode, titled "The Game", on January 10. However, due to some issues with the schedule, it will return on January 17.
The series' latest episode will see Lucy Tara (Yasmine Al-bustami) go undercover on a mission to bring down a drug kingpin. Directed by James Hayman, this episode is expected to bring back the usual drama of the crime show to its full extent.
Check out the promo for the eleventh episode of NCIS: Hawai'i
The upcoming episode of NCIS: Hawai'i promises a "very intense premise," according to the promo. Lucy Tara goes undercover in a high-stakes poker game, perhaps one where the "deadly drug dealer" is also present. The promo also reveals that this is her first mission undercover, which makes things even more interesting.
The final shot of the promo is particularly intriguing. It shows an undercover Lucy being held at gunpoint. Does this mean she gets caught on her mission? If so, what happens to her? The promo leaves a lot of exciting questions for the episode to answer.
