Fans tuning into CBS to catch some 'NCIS' action tonight were left distraught to find that the franchise's 'NCIS: Los Angeles' Season 11 Episode 20 was not airing tonight. The episode titled 'Knock Down' is most likely the finale of this season that was cut short as production had to be halted due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, so worry not, we've got you covered about when you can finally see the final episode of Season 11.

CBS is most likely taking a break before the big finale of this season and giving fans enough time to gather all their intel and probably catch up on the season as the nationwide self-quarantine continues. But while fans catch up on what agents Sam, Callen, Deeks, Kensi, and their ringmaster Hetty have been up to this season, fans can rest easy knowing Episode 20 will air in its scheduled Sunday night 8 pm slot on April 12.

According to the official synopsis provided by the network, the episode 'Knock Down' will see “NCIS assist the DOJ in the investigation of an arsonist who targets an FBI safe house that’s protecting a political activist seeking asylum. Also, Eric deals with the aftermath of Nell leaving the team.” So there's action-packed, possibly high-octane, drama along with heavy emotional content, at least from Eric's side now that Nell has decided she wants to pursue something other than being an NCIS agent. Hetty sanctioned her vacation and per Kensi's advice Nell is most likely to take some much-needed time off to deal with the pressures of the job. 

'NCIS: Los Angeles' Season 17 Episode 20 will air on Sunday, April 12, at 8 pm only on CBS.
