NCISLA Classified Preview: “Under the Influence” (S13E09)
Title: Under the Influence
Airing: February 27th, 2022
Filmed: October 4th – 12th, 2021
What CBS is telling us: The NCIS team helps a U.S. ambassador search for her missing daughter, Gia (Caitlin Carmichael), a popular social media influencer. Also, Agent Aliyah De León returns to support the team with the case, on the CBS Original series NCIS: LOS ANGELES.
What we think is happening: After ANOTHER very long 6-week hiatus…We are back again, and hopefully running most Sundays through the end of the season! As for the team, this case seems to be a little less national security risk, a little more “favor for a politician” (unless the missing daughter is being used in attempt to leverage said politician). Welcome back everyone!

Promo: The only promo I have seen was from before this episode was postponed, and it was advertising the two-parter we’re not getting at this time (episode 10 will air next week). Comparing the video to the promo pictures, most of the clips appear to be from 13×10, so I will share the promo with you in our next preview!
