There's going to be a short break for "NCIS: New Orleans" Season 3, and episode 10 won't be aired until Jan.  3.  Last week was the first of a two-week layoff, and CBS is not giving reruns, too, so fans would have to wait for a week more to see what happens on the next episode. 

According to Blasting News, episode 10 will be titled "Follow The Money," since it will show some shady cartel action, and that the situation in the cartel will more likely be the main storyline.

A new character will also shook up the series. Vanessa Ferlito stars as FBI Agent Tammy Gregorio and she's someone with a shady past. The series' executive producer, Brad Kern, said about Gregorio: "The gods have a way of bringing us back, in way, of what we're trying to run from."  Kern also said that Gregorio "will be confronting that emotionally and literally as the season progresses."

The series is understandably quiet about what the next episodes will be like, but fans are sure in for a great surprise, the show hinted.  Kern also said that Sebastian will both be a special agent and forensic agent, meaning he will be working in the lab, but will also take his skills to the field.

In the last episode, Gregorio became increasingly attached to her new colleagues. Fans also learned that Agent LaSalle (Lucas Black) wasn't really baby Tucker's father, and that Ciudad Natal Cartel connections possibly run deeper than anyone could imagine, TV Guide reported.  Kern promised other major discoveries that will rock everyone when the show returns next week. 

Meanwhile, Gregorio's husband will make a debut in 2017, but Kern did not give any details as to who the character will be. Also, what's going to happen between LaSalle and Percy? Are they going to get married soon? Kern said:  "Where that ends up.  I guess the best way to say is, 'Stay tuned.'" "NCIS: New Orleans" airs on Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET on CBS.
