NCIS returns next Tuesday with its first new episode in three weeks. As fans are well aware, tensions are on the rise between Vance and Gibbs - even more than usual.

It's been mostly beneath the surface this season, but next week is about to change that.

In "Out of the Frying Pan," Gibbs questions Vance's motives when the director tasks him with the interrogation a teenage boy accused of killing his retired Marine father.

NCIS Technical Advisor Leon Carroll wrote the episode, in which Cameron Monaghan (Shameless) guest stars as troubled teen, Nick Peyton. Check out the promo:
