On this episode of NCIS: New Orleans, Navy Commander Josh Newman ends up in a terrifying situation when his car is stolen with his baby daughter, Lucy, still inside. Our team comes in to help find the baby and at first, they believe it could just be a carjacking. But the car is found and the baby is still missing, leading Pride to realize the baby was the target.
They must determine if anyone was targeting Newman and his husband, Marlon Hart. There is tension between the worried fathers, especially when an affair is discovered.
Later, evidence shows an individual from the supermarker where Josh visited could be involved. But when this only leads to another victim, the team is confused until they find a connection that may help with the case. Agent Abigail Borin comes in to help and she relays a story about her youth when she gave her dad a scare by going missing.
The team work together as hard as they can and Pride uses his own parenthood to help Josh feel as better as he can. Eventually, the team pulls through and does all they can find baby Lucy so she can be reunited with her parents.
We’re counting down some of the top moments from this episode and also taking a look at how things connected with each other that helped bring the case together. What did you like from the episode Rock-a-Bye Baby?”

Josh is alone at the office so Pride has a talk with him about parenting. The worried father is upset about the mistakes he made and Pride tells him about taking his baby daughter out to see the rain only for her to end up with croup.

After Pride talks to him, he goes to his team where they find out Jorge had no connection to the baby, but he had wrote a recommendation letter for adoption for a couple named Phil and Anne. Then Pride gets word from Sebastian that whoever killed Jorge worked with meat and someone named Phil is the one who made a delivery on Thursday.
