Gibbs reunited with his former colleague, Special Agent Dwayne Cassius Pride (Scott Bakula), after a body washed ashore in the Louisiana city. The corpse was identified as former NCIS agent and Congressman Dan McLane.
The two NCIS offices started to work together with the FBI to determine whether or not the Congressman was killed for political reasons or because of a famous past case.

The second and last episode of the NCIS: New Orleans pilot will premiere next week and it will likely bring a conclusion to the case.

But, were viewers intrigued by the first episode, which premiered on Tuesday and brought in around 17 million? Many took to Twitter to praise "Crescent City Part 1."
