Looks like Thanksgiving plans are put on hold this week at NCIS.

The team investigates the horrific death of a Marine, and their efforts to crack the case lead them to government think-tank filled with child prodigies, where the special agents then have to protect a 12-year-old child who may be the next target of the killer.
