NCIS returns with its thirteenth season this Tuesday, and the season premiere continues from last season's big cliffhanger in which Gibbs was shot. CBS has been kind enough to send us a screener of the season premiere in advance of the episode's airing, so here is a preview and a few teasers from that episode.
The Calling is also still out there, and Daniel Budd is still at large after Gibbs' shooting. Tony works with Joanna Teague to try to track him down. Eventually, they follow a lead and travel to Shangai. There, they work with another CIA officer who has information on the possible whereabouts of Budd. The hunt for Budd leads to a few dramatic moments in Shangai, but I can't tell you too much about it.
Here are a few other teasers from "Stop the Bleeding":
-There will be a time jump in the episode.
-Besides Budd, Matthew Rousseau will also return. In case you need a reminder, Rousseau is also a leader of The Calling, but he was captured in episode 23 of last season. In the season premiere he will once again taunt the team like he did last season.
-There are quite a few references to the late agent Dorneget. In fact, he might even play an important role in this episode.
-Luke Harris will return as well.
-In addition to the main storylines, there are also mentions of rising tension in North Korea that are part of the episode.
-The situation with Gibbs leads to some tension between various team members.
Here's a promo for the season premiere. Watch the episode this Tuesday September 22 at 8/7c on CBS.
