NCIS-NCIS: New Orleans Crossover: Watch the Teaser!

Both NCIS and NCIS: New Orleans are on a brief hiatus.

They are taking a short break for the holidays, which appears to be a very good thing.

Because they are going to need all the energy they can muster up for Tuesday, January 5.

Both hit dramas return on that date, and they do so via a crossover event that will feature Tony having to make an awkward arrest.

Check out the following preview to see how he reacts upon meeting Abby’s (Pauley Perrette) heretofore never-seen adult brother, Luca, portrayed by guest star Tyler Ritter (The McCarthys).

But it actually gets even worse and even more awkward, as we later see Abby being told by Gibbs to “break” her siblings ... or else he'll do it for her. 

GULP.

We also get a glimpse in this promo of Longmire‘s Cassidy Freeman, looking as if she isn't up to any good at all.

We don't want to skip Christmas or New Year's or anything... but can January 5 please arrive soon?

This looks terrific.
