NCIS returns from its winter break with a belated holiday gift for everyone…the marvelous Mitch Pileggi (SUPERNATURAL, DALLAS, THE X-FILES). Pileggi portrays United States Secretary of Defense Wynn Crawford, a no-nonsense boss who is determined to put a stop to NCIS’s investigation of potential chemical weapons. When Crawford confronts Gibbs (Mark Harmon), the “Irresistible Force Paradox” contradiction ensues. For those who are not fans of quantum mechanics, the paradox generally is described as “What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?”
SecDef Crawford (aka “Immovable Object”) meet the “Unstoppable Force,” Leroy Jethro Gibbs.
Crawford shuts down NCIS’s murder investigation which not only has McGee (Sean Murray) and Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) threatened with arrest for their actions on the case, there is a pesky problem with chlorine gas and its possible weaponization.
Other guest stars on tonight’s episode, “Toil and Trouble,” include Scott William Winters, Kasey Mahaffy, Angela E. Gibbs, Lauren Sweetser, Katie Von Till, Kent Shocknek, Steve Tom, Kimberly Hidalgo and Chance Denman. “Toil and Trouble” was written by Christopher J. Waild and directed by Leslie Libman.
NCIS airs tonight (January 8) at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on CBS in the U.S. and on Global TV in Canada.
