NCIS fans are rearing up to the upcoming January 17 episode of the hit American TV show. After a week of delay for the show's 12th episode, "Off the Grid" will again offer viewers something to ponder after the episode airs.

The last episode did not exactly turn out good for Qasim Nassir who plunges into comatose in the end of the show. Ellie Bishop's boyfriend gets shot many times during an ongoing investigation.

Episode 12 Spoilers Will Feature A Bishop and Reeves Team Up

The upcoming episode of NCIS season 14 will see Bishop teaming up with MI6's Clayton Reeves for a covert undercover mission. It is still not clear if the mission is going to be related with Kai Chen's takedown.

Apparently, it is possible that Bishop will be pursuing people that are responsible for Qasim's comatose. According to GoshTV, Chen was behind the order to shoot down the agent, Nassir.

Chen is currently the focus of the previous NCIS episodes. The villain makes money through acts of terror that affect the stock market.

MI6's Officer Reeves was a member of Operation Willoughby that aimed to expose Chen's illegal shenanigans. During a sting operation to capture Chen, the cunning mastermind managed to escape.

Gib's undercover mission eventually led him to Chen's brother. Leroy then goes to work behind the scenes with the anti-government militia to gather more about Chen's whereabouts.

Episode 12, "Off the Grid" will be directed by Rocky Carrol. The screenplay is written by George Schenck & Frank Cardea.

Episode 13 Will Be All About Jimmy Palmer

Episode 13, "Keep Going" will air on January 24. According to several spoilers, the main focus for the episode will center on NCIS assistant medical examiner Jimmy Palmer.

Palmer's character features Brian Dietzen as Jimmy Palmer. The synopsis read that Palmer will be joining a stranger on the ledge of a building to stop an impending suicide. This happens during an NCIS hit and run investigation.

Several images have emerged showing the building ledge scene. Judging from the image, this will totally be another tension and drama filled episode. "Keep Going" is directed by Terrence O'Hara and written by Scott Williams. NCIS Season 14 airs on CBS on Tuesdays at 8/7c.
