What to Expect from NCIS: Sydney Season 2 Episode 7: Breathless

NCIS: Sydney, Previews

A case that starts at a concert pulls Blue into the action on NCIS: Sydney Season 2, Episode 7, “Breathless.”

The team will investigate the suspicious death of a U.S. Navy choir singer, who performs with a pop star. The NCIS: Sydney photos tease the former as Chantal Elyse’s Lt. Sally Poole and the latter as Mel Jarnson’s Nova.

The photos for “Breathless” also reveal that Blue is in the audience at said concert with plenty of “obsessive” Nova fans.

By the time Mackey and Dempsey make it to the scene, it appears that the team will be looking for answers around a smoke machine. 

Additionally, “Breathless” stands out because it’s an NCIS: Sydney episode where Blue’s scenes extend beyond the lab and include more than Dr. Roy Penrose. 

Given how rare episodes like that are, it’s exciting to see NCIS: Sydney switch up its storytelling as it progresses into its sophomore season. That sentiment rings especially true since the show will likely only build from here because CBS renewed it for a third season in February.
