In the Season 4 premiere of NCIS: New Orleans, “Rogue Nation,” while Pride (Scott Bakula) is still on probation after trying to take down Mayor Hamilton (Steven Weber), the rest of the team investigates an FBI case which involves stolen nuclear waste. They’re forced to work with their new “by-the-books” supervisor Special Agent Paula Boyd.
