After taking consistent hiatuses – sometimes for weeks at stretch – 'NCIS: Los Angeles' is finally staying on track with its upcoming episodes. That means no more silly waiting around in despair or tuning in to CBS on Sunday nights at 8 pm only to be met with disappointment. The next episode of 'NCIS: LA' airs in just a short week's time on the channel, and comes bearing other gifts too. Series star Daniela Ruah, who plays special agent Kensi Blye, directs the upcoming episode, but that's not all. Read on to find out all about it.

The next episode of NCIS: LA aka Season 12's Episode 11, will air next Sunday, February 21, but not at its usual 8 PM time slot. Instead, the show will air from 9 pm to 10 pm ET/PT, only on CBS. Titled 'Russia, Russia, Russia', the episode sees Callen (Chris O’Donnell) go to the National Counterterrorism Center "on the pretext of interrogating a Russian asset from the crashed plane case he investigated months earlier," details the official synopsis. The twist in the tale comes when "the tables are turned and he is detained, accused of being a Russian agent."

Along with Ruah directing the episode, Gerald McRaney is also returning as Admiral Kilbride. Viewers will remember the character of Hollace Kilbride from the last time he was on the show in October 2019, on NCIS: LA's Season 11's Episode 3, titled 'Hail Mary'. The episode saw Callen and Sam (LL Cool J) as Kilbride's security and protection detail while he carried out an operation to find a missing Naval intelligence officer. Will he come to Callen's rescue this time after the NCIS agent gets detailed wrongfully?

But before we run too far with speculations, fans can find comfort in knowing there's an equally power-packed action awaiting in tonight's Episode 10 that kicks off the new time slot for the show. Titled 'The Frogman's Daughter' the episode picks up right where we left off with Sam's daughter Kam (Kayla Smith) getting kidnapped. This happens after she led citywide protests and Sam refuses to stop at anything to find her. "Also, Deeks rejoins NCIS and Callen searches for answers about Anna," adds the synopsis. 

'NCIS: Los Angeles' Season 12 will air on Sundays at 9 pm only on CBS.
