The new season will debut with Dwayne Pride's (Scott Bakula) NCIS team experiencing a bit of shake-up and confusion after Special Agent Meredith Brody (Zoe McLellan) left and their head defying the orders.
When "NCIS: New Orleans" Season 3 episode 2 returns, Pride will face criticisms from the FBI for helping a former Navy Intelligence Analyst Elvis Bertrand (Tom Arnold), who is a major suspect in a number of homicide cases, Spoiler TV reported. Being the head of the NCIS team, it seems his credibility will be put in danger amidst their impending investigation.
The new season will also see the NCIS team in-charge in New Orleans when an unidentified sniper attacks the city. The team will be pressured to give an answer to Mayor Hamilton (Steven Weber) after the killer left the city in chaos. Amidst the disorder, FBI Special Agent Tammy Gregario (Vanessa Ferlito), arrives to investigate them.
"I would describe her as pretty bad ass," Ferlito told TV Guide about Agent Gregario. "She's an uptight, "stand-up girl" with a tough shell who's making sure the NCIS N.O. crew is doing things by the book."

It seems that her mission is not only about investigating the NCIS team, but to find a closure to her dark past.
