When will 'NCIS: New Orleans' Season 7 Episode 8 air? Pride will zero in on new suspect for therapist murder
‘Leda and the Swan, Part I’, episode 7 of ‘NCIS: New Orleans’ Season 7, aired January 17. Since then, we have had no new episodes for the show. While some of the absence can be attributed to CBS airing this season of the NFL's AFC championship, pandemic production guidelines may have a part to play in the delays. It’s understandable, but fans have to suffer through another week of no new episodes, which is all the more bothersome because episode 8 is supposed to be the second part of the two-episode story.

Hopefully, after February 14, the show will get back on track and continue to give us all-new episodes every week. It’s fun to watch the older episodes, sure, but fans do crave the new stuff. Because so far, the seventh season has seen great writing, that far surpasses older seasons. Pride’s character and Dr. Wade’s (CCH Pounder) character have particularly been a treat to watch this time.
