Tuesday’s episode of NCIS: New Orleans saw the team investigating the murder of Petty Officer Toussaint Patrice, a man who was stabbed to death as he tried to get some help. The team is led to a place called The Glitter Club since someone wearing a jester mask was seen going after him.
Eventually, the team discovers that Toussaint, who had gone through addiction after serving in the war, became part of a drug ring involving Isoflurane and that there may be a heist they need to prevent.
As this is going on, Pride has issues with his daughter Laurel when he finds out she has been in communication with his father. He has been unwilling to sign a letter to the parole board for his release because he doesn’t know how to protect him outside of prison walls. He also does not want to tell Laurel about the things his dad has done and how complicated their relationship is.
During the case and family issues, the team also gets ready for Mardi Gras, with Chris excited over getting some beads. For this Mardi Gras, the show went all out and we got some good moments in this episode as we got to find out more about Pride’s father and how the team celebrates, whether speaking Wookie or just having a great time. Here are some top moments from the episode “Le Carnivale de la Mort.”
