NCIS: Sydney Season 3 Episode 11, “Berthed,” leaves a lot to speculate about with its limited promotional materials. 

Without a promo video or clips, CBS leaves any guessing about the episode’s story to the description and photos.

After the interpersonal developments on NCIS: Sydney Season 3 Episode 10, “Van Life,” it seems like the case of the week in “Berthed” could inspire even more.

The team sets out to discover the truth about the suspicious death of a U.S. Naval officer. The NCIS: Sydney photos appear to show the team over the officer’s body in a truck transporting some sort of flower. It also looks like there may be a note or an important paper on or near his person. 

It seems like their investigation leads the team to a baby shower, as one of the gueststarring characters is wearing a sash that reads “It’s a baby girl.”

Since the description of “Berthed” reveals that the office recently learned he would be a father, it’s easy to wonder if this is where the team’s case takes “a scandalous turn.” Or, maybe, that happens because of whatever or whoever Mackey, JD, and Blue are looking at in one of the photos below. 

Here’s everything you need to know about this episode, including the air date, cast, promo, and how to watch.
