TV Guide reports that on Tuesday’s episode, McGee seeks shelter at a colleague’s home when a city-wide blackout forces him out of his house. Meanwhile, an investigation on the death of a seaman turns out to be more than just about murder. The “NCIS” crew finds themselves probing an international human trafficking ring, which was supposedly closed down.

“NCIS” also posted a sneak peek of its Jan. 19 episode on its YouTube page. A scene in the preview video shows a woman's body which mysteriously falls out of a dump truck, causing DiNozzo to be agitated as he tells his boss Gibbs about the incident.

Bishop will also be seen in another part of the trailer, as she discusses about “college aged girls abducted and sold to the highest bidders all over the world.” The last scene of the clip focuses on Palmer, who is clearly upset with the ongoing human trafficking epidemic. "This kind of evil in the world affects me a lot more since becoming a father," he says to a teary-eyed Bishop.

The Jan. 19 episode of “NCIS” is directed by series regular Rocky Carroll, according to IMDB. Find out what happens next on “NCIS” Season 13, which airs in the US on CBS every Tuesdays, 8/7c.
