'NCIS: New Orleans' Season 5 Episode 5 Air Date, Spoilers: 100th Episode to Feature Surprising Guest Stars Fans Will Be Thrilled to Watch

Fans will be glad to know that “NCIS: New Orleans'” 100th episode will be full of surprises worthy of the show's milestone episode. In “NCIS: New Orleans” season 5 episode 5, there are a couple of treats that fans can expect to see.

The “NCIS: New Orleans” season 5 episode 5 synopsis reveals the 100th episode's upcoming guest stars, who include an appearance from folk R&B combo Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, and “Prison Break” veteran Stacy Keach. According to the summary, Keach will be playing Dwayne Pride's (Scott Bakula) father, Cassius Pride. Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats will be featured playing their songs “Hey Mama” and “You Worry Me.”

With Stacy Keach's guest appearance, fans should be ready for a Dwayne Pride backstory reveal in the upcoming episode. The “NCIS: New Orleans” season 5 episode 5 summary points out that Keach's Cassius Pride will be roped into the story due to his involvement in an unsolved casino heist case. Whether Dwayne Pride's father is a suspect or involved in the case as an investigator is not revealed.

It would be interesting to see if Dwayne Pride's father ends up being a primary suspect in the case, and for fans to discover why the heist investigation has yet to be cracked for so long. On the other hand, having Cassius Pride be a former investigator of the case would be a great way to show some father-son bonding between Cassius and Dwayne Pride in "NCIS: New Orleans" season 5 episode 5.

Either way, it is about time that Dwayne Pride's background gets opened up a little more for fans to appreciate his importance to the series. Fans looking forward to seeing how Dwayne Pride's father fits into the upcoming milestone episode can catch “NCIS: New Orleans” season 5 episode 5 when it airs during its regular Tuesday schedule on Oct. 23.
