NCIS: New Orleans Season 7 Episode 4 Recap

Following the death of Officer Mark Palmer, who had witnessed a murder at the hands of cops and was about to blow the whistle on corrupt cops, Mayor Zahra Taylor launches a full scale investigation into dirty cops in the department. That’s where Pride comes in. Being a federal agent gives him an edge over Internal Affairs. But the investigation proves no cakewalk as Pride finds. Every time his team pick up a trail or question a possible witness for clues, people drop dead and the lead turns a dead-end, turning the whole operation extremely frustrating.

Detective Blakely and Officer Yates try to intimidate and terrorize Pride, in order to make him back off the case. They do this by sending SWAT to Pride’s home, feeding them false information that a criminal was hiding inside Pride and Rita’s house. The whole affair manages to get to Pride for a while before he figures out who is at the head of the gang of dirty cops. It turns out to be Commander Campbell, who has the same tattoo that Officer Yates does, like they are part of the same brotherhood of sorts.

As Loretta finally talks about how the on-going pandemic has negatively affected her psyche and caused her acute anxiety and depression, the Mayor offers her some comforting advise. The Mayor also places an offer in front of Pride – to accept a spot on her task force that will be dedicated to hunting down corrupt cops and cleaning up the department.
