Pride (Scott Bakula) had the worse finale in season 4. Following the events that occurred prior to “NCIS: New Orleans” season 5, Pride might end up leaving field work for good.
Aside from a character assassination that landed him a grand jury trial, he also suffered a literal assassination attempt in his new apartment in the season 4 finale. Pride sustained potentially fatal gunshot wounds, which explains why he is in the ICU in the “NCIS: New Orleans” season 5 opener. While he continues to recover, LaSalle (Lucas Black) and the others will have to work on finding Pride’s attacker.
However, it appears that Pride will regain consciousness in the second episode of “NCIS: New Orleans” season 5. But it does not mean he will immediately be back to work. In fact, this is the time when Pride will be considering to leave his current position and work on something else for the agency.
The person who orchestrated Pride’s character assassination in season 4 had only one demand from him, which was to leave NCIS for good. It is possible that it still has some effects on the events in “NCIS: New Orleans” season 5 episode 2.
Meanwhile, Pride's second-guessing of his future is also linked to the appearance of two new characters in “NCIS: New Orleans” season 5. It was confirmed that “The Cosby Show” alum Geoffrey Owens will be playing the role of Pride’s long-time friend Commander Adams. It is then possible that Pride will be meeting up with him and seek his advice.
Another character to be introduced in “NCIS: New Orleans” season 5 is Special Agent Hannah Khoury (Necar Zadegan). In episode 2, she will be replacing Pride (who will be on a medical leave) and lead the team as they go after an IRA-affiliated explosives expert.
According to reports, Zadegan joins as the newest series regular. Does this mean Pride is actually leaving for good with Agent Khoury replacing him permanently? This is an even bigger dilemma for fans than the fact that Pride is in the ICU once “NCIS: New Orleans” season 5 premieres on Tuesday, Sept. 25, at 10 p.m. on CBS.
