“NCIS: New Orleans” season 15 episode 18 is up for next week’s broadcast. It will bring an intense story that is also sad in nature because someone died.

“NCIS: New Orleans” season 15 episode 18 will focus on Patton Plame as his friend has been murdered right in front of him. This story has been aptly titled “In Plain Sight” and as per CBS press release, its plot summary reads: “The NCIS team investigates the murder of Patton's friend, a former Navy SEAL gunned down in a drive-by shooting while Patton watched.”

As mentioned, “NCIS: New Orleans” season 15 episode 18 will be about the investigation on the death of a Navy SEAL who also happened to be a friend of Patton. He was right there when it happened. His friend was shot in front of him and he was not able to do anything so somehow there is guilt, disappointment, and anger inside of him. In fact, these negative feelings might have ravaged him so he is not happy to be reminded of it.

However, the probe in “NCIS: New Orleans” season 15 episode 18 will make him remember his past, regardless if he likes it or not. He needs to do it because it will help solve the crime that involves his friend. Justice will only be served if he will participate so despite the unpleasant feelings, he needs to face his past once more time.

CarterMatt noted that because Patton has been traumatized by witnessing his friend’s murder it is hard for him to hark back his memories on what happened on that tragic day. But since he must recount the timeline of the incident, even with the pain, it appears that he will help close the murder case in “NCIS: New Orleans” season 15 episode 18.

“NCIS: New Orleans” season 15 episode 18 is set to air on Tuesday, April 2 at 10 p.m. on CBS Television Network. This story has been directed by LeVar Burton and written by Katherine Beattie. For some glimpse of spoilers, watch the promo video below:
