Fan favorite Loretta Wade (portrayed by CCH Pounder) will be the star of the upcoming episode of "NCIS: New Orleans" Season 3. The episode, titled "End of the Line," is the fifteenth episode.

According to CarterMatt, while "End of the Line" will put the spotlight on Loretta Wade, the episode won't be full of laughs for the character. The episode will allegedly bring up some "heart-wrenching" memories for Wade, and the Pounder's character might be relieving them for a "painful reason." Despite the warning that the upcoming episode could be sad for fans of the character, it also promises to deliver a "powerful performance from the actress."

"End of the Line," episode 15 of "NCIS: New Orleans" Season 3, might overall "be a story that is very much different from the one that you will be seeing during tonight's crossover event." The official synopsis for the upcoming episode reads, "A gruesome copycat murder on a street car reopens a former case for Wade, evoking painful memories from her past."

"End of the Line" is the last February episode for the show, and more new will follow for the March lineup of "NCIS: New Orleans" Season 3. Hopefully, future episodes of the show will also include more character-centric entries like episode 15, which help make "NCIS: NOLA" "stand out from the rest of the crime TV mold."

Previously on "NCIS: New Orleans," episode 14 featured the conclusion of the "Pandora's Box" two-part crossover episode with "NCIS." In "Pandora's Box, Part II," Special Agents Nick Torres and Tim McGee are still in New Orleans under Gibbs; orders. Torres and McGee were tasked with tracking a hacker who got ahold of a playbook from Homeland Security.

The agents must prevent the hacker from selling the playbook's dangerous contents at all cost since it contained "possible terrorist scenarios that were tried out and how Homeland was supposed to deal with the fallout." But Torres runs into a killer, and he is falsely identified as the suspect.

After clearing up the misunderstanding, the playbook is finally located. Eva Azarova, who admitted to stealing it, said she wanted to use the playbook to lure Victor, who trained her and "forced her to do terrible things as a child."
