Shelby Elpers NCIS: Sydney, Previews

The team’s latest search for the truth takes them into the world of fortune-telling on NCIS: Sydney Season 3 Episode 14, “Death Card.” 

It all starts with a drowned U.S. Naval officer. There’s a photo that shows that Doc finds a tarot card near the officer’s body. It also shows JD and Mackey realizing that it depicts the manner of the officer’s death.

It seems like JD and Mackey may work backwards and interview the officer’s team, including Petty Officer Connor Wal. It may also lead them to Dr. Phoebe Bale.

The photos of those scenes suggest that Dr. Bale will tell JD something he doesn’t want to hear. As always, Mackey is by his side. 

Likewise, Evie and DeShawn are together when they seemingly discover the body of the tarot card reader. There’s also a tarot card in the water of that picture. It’s difficult to see if that card also depicts the manner of death.
