NCIS season 18 episode 3 is coming within two weeks on CBS. The procedural drama won't be airing a new episode this coming week, but it will deliver more exciting stories and an interesting case once it returns. Fans will see the team going on treasure hunting.
The episode title of NCIS season 18 episode 3 is "Blood and Treasure," hinting at what's coming next for Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) and the rest of the team. The story centers on dead bodies found within the world of treasure hunting. This will serve as the case-of-the-week plot.
According to the synopsis, two dead bodies were found in a forest, which leads the team into the wild world of modern-day treasure hunting. They will try to do their best to locate some valuable items since it could lead them getting answers and, potentially, finding the killer.
However, searching for the treasure won't be easy for everyone. In the promo of NCIS season 18 episode 3, the team found a treasure map because the victim swallowed it. It seems like the deceased were desperate to hide the secret within it and wanted to make sure the killer won't have it.
Since the team could get hold of the map, they'll follow the path and direct them to the treasure and killer at the same time. They might locate the culprit later on, but there's a question of whether or not the team is allowed to keep the treasure in the event they find it.
The promo teased that everyone is debating about it. Yet, it remains to be seen whether they'll, indeed, unearth the treasure or someone else may have already found it. Despite that, it's clear this story will be filled with action-packed scenes along with funny moments.
Meanwhile, NCIS season 18 episode 3 is also the continuation of the events that happened in the 400th episode. The synopsis notes that Gibbs and Tobias Fornell (Joe Spano) will dig deeper, searching for the opioid kingpin. Their previous conversation about this particular matter will be revisited.
This storyline wasn't really addressed in the previous seasons, which was first introduced in season 16. Now, the current installment will address it and what Gibbs was up to when he's away from the team for a "personal mission." This is hugely connected to Fornell, as well as his daughter.
NCIS season 18 episode 3 airs on Tuesday, Dec. 8, on CBS.
