NCISLA Classified Preview: “Through the Looking Glass” (S12E17)


Title: Through the Looking Glass

Airing: May 16th, 2021

Filming: March 11th – 19th, 2021

What CBS is telling us: When a Naval Intelligence Officer is tortured and murdered, NCIS must work with Joelle (Elizabeth Bogush), who informs them that other CIA operatives are being killed in the same way. Also, Kensi receives a threatening postcard from David Kessler (Frank Military), the sociopath who is obsessed with her.

What we think is happening: The CIA and David Kessler both bring trouble to town and the team fights to save the day!

  1. Frank Military writes excellent episodes, looking forward to this one. This should be good. Yes Kilbride would fill the Granger role very well indeed.

    • Thank you! And fabulous work on the episode! We have noticed errors happen sometimes with the press releases and we try to fix them as we find them, but when it comes to character names, we often don’t know until the episode airs! I’ll fix it now!
