The NIS team is back in action tonight, Monday, Jan. 27. Take a look at everything you need to know going into NCIS: Origins season 1, episode 11.

After a lengthy winter break, CBS shows are starting to come back. This includes the NCIS prequel series, focusing on a younger Gibbs. So far, we’ve seen how Gibbs has (not quite) handled the murders of his wife and daughter. He has got his revenge, and now we see how Franks actually felt about that and what it took for Gibbs to become an NIS agent.

There may be some breaks in the schedule coming, and these are linked to the LA wildfires currently devastating the area. NCIS: Origin has had to shut down temporarily, although filming quickly resumed inside. Air quality has become an issue, and there have been threats of fires in areas around the filming locations. It’s just something to keep in mind at this point.

What to expect in NCIS: Origins season 1, episode 11

As for the new episode tonight, get ready to learn more about Mike Franks. When the son of a famed commander in the Marines is killed, the team will immediately jump in to investigate. It turns out that Franks has a connection to the family.

It sounds like this connection could be important to the case. Is it possible that Franks shouldn’t even be on the case due to a conflict of interest?

While we learned a little about Franks in NCIS, it wasn’t a lot about his own past. It was about how Franks shaped Gibbs into the agent he would become. So, there’s a lot that we don’t know about his family and friends. This series has offered us a look at that, and it’s been eye-opening so far. Now we’re ready to learn more.

Take a look at the synopsis for NCIS: Origins season 1, episode 11:

“The team investigates the death of a famed Marine commander’s son, while a pivotal part of Franks’ past involving his family is revealed.”

NCIS: Origins airs Mondays at 10/9c on CBS. Catch up the following day on Paramount+.
