Ep 8. Music to My Ears

The NCIS team in New Orleans is back in action in season 3 episode 8, titled “Music to My Ears.” This episode follows the team as they investigate a murder that takes place at a music festival. The victim is a young woman named Audrey who was working as a volunteer at the festival. Initially, it seems that her death was a tragic accident, but as the team delves deeper into the case, they begin to suspect that foul play was involved.

NCIS Special Agent Dwayne Pride (Scott Bakula) and his team start their investigation by questioning Audrey's colleagues and the festival organizers. They learn that the victim was passionate about music and worked hard to get a job at the festival. Audrey was well-liked, and everyone is shocked by her death. The team also discovers that several valuable instruments were stolen from the festival prior to Audrey's death, which leads them to believe that the murder may be linked to a robbery.

During their investigation, the team meets two young musicians, Sienna and Landon. Sienna is a talented cellist, and Landon plays the guitar. They explain to the team that they were close to Audrey and were with her at the festival before her death. They also reveal that they saw someone suspicious near the area where Audrey's body was found. The team suspects that this person might be the killer or at least have information that could help the investigation. Pride and his team do everything in their power to track down this person and get to the bottom of Audrey's murder.

As the investigation progresses, the team uncovers multiple suspects, including a band member who has a history of violence, a disgruntled ex-employee of the festival, and an employee who was caught stealing from the cash register. However, none of them seem to have a motive for the murder.

Meanwhile, the team also deals with their personal issues as Special Agent Chris LaSalle (Lucas Black) struggles to balance his work and personal life. He has to make a difficult decision when his brother, Cade (Clayne Crawford), gets into trouble with the law. He has to decide whether to help his brother out or let him face the consequences of his actions.

As the team tries to solve the case, they listen to music, analyze clues, and work tirelessly to find Audrey's killer. The music festival provides a colorful backdrop for the investigation, with scenes of concerts, food stalls, and people dancing adding to the sense of the community and fun. The team attends various performances over the course of the episode, from jazz to blues to rock, and the music becomes a thread that ties the investigation together.

In the end, the investigation leads to a surprising conclusion, revealing the murderer’s motive and the truth behind Audrey’s death. The team’s hard work and dedication pay off, as they bring the killer to justice and bring closure to Audrey’s family and friends.

In “Music to My Ears,” the NCIS: New Orleans team shows their expertise at solving crimes, their commitment to justice, and their compassion for the victim’s loved ones. This episode is a must-see for fans of the show, as well as anyone who enjoys a good mystery with a musical twist.
