In season 1 episode 9 of NCIS: New Orleans, titled Chasing Ghosts, the team is tasked with solving a complicated case involving stolen explosives from a Navy base. The beginning of the episode shows a group of men breaking into a secure storage facility and stealing a large amount of C4 explosives. Two of the men are caught and one is killed in the process, but the rest escape.
The NCIS team begins their investigation and tracks down the two criminals who were captured, but neither of them will talk. Agent Pride and his team suspect that the theft was an inside job and turn their attention to the base's security personnel. When that angle proves unsuccessful, they broaden their investigation to include any possible connections to organized crime.
As they dig deeper into the case, the team discovers that the explosives weren't stolen for profit, but rather for the purpose of carrying out a terrorist attack. They race against the clock to find the remaining members of the theft ring and stop them before they can execute their deadly plan.
Meanwhile, Agent Brody is approached by Homeland Security with an offer to transfer to their agency. The move would mean leaving behind her team and her home in New Orleans, so she grapples with the decision and seeks the advice of Agent Pride.
Throughout the episode, the team works together to gather evidence, follow leads, and piece together the motives and identities of the people involved in the plot. There are tense moments of suspense as they close in on the perpetrators and race to stop the attack before it's too late.
In the end, the team successfully stops the terrorist plot and apprehends all of the individuals involved. Agent Brody ultimately decides to stay with the NCIS team in New Orleans, but not before sharing a heartfelt moment with Agent Pride about why she was considering leaving.
Overall, Chasing Ghosts is a thrilling and action-packed episode that showcases the expertise and teamwork of the NCIS: New Orleans team.
