Tuesday night’s episode of NCIS: New Orleans saw the return of Loretta’s adopted sons, CJ and Danny. She takes them to an air show where one of the top female Naval soldiers is preparing to fly the Skystormer. However, a horrific crash leaves her dead and the team must figure out if the crash was due to mechanical failure or pilot error.
As the case goes on, the evidence points to the possibility that the pilot, Lindsay Garrett, crashed the plane on purpose. But Loretta is not convinced this is the case and she fervently works on discovering her cause of death as she also tries to push Danny into doing well at being an intern. However, she seems to be working hard on him as he is trying to do the best he can.
Meanwhile, Sonja is surprised when she discovers Chris, Patton, and Sebastian all went out for a boy’s night without considering her or Brody. It leads to a discussion about women doing things such as going out for guys night, which parallels the difficulties Garrett had in working with her male colleagues.
This was a good episode for the second season and showcased different elements of the team trying to figure out exactly what happened to the pilot and the plane, especially since the Secretary of the Navy tries to get answers for Washington. Take a look at some of the top moments from “Touched By The Sun.”
