Dwayne Pride (Scott Bakula) has already gone through a lot since the season has started. He already had a near-death experience, which has left him thinking about his future in NCIS, yet he still keeps on going. But “NCIS: New Orleans” season 5 episode 5 may have an emotional bullet this time around for Dwayne Pride.
In the “NCIS: New Orleans” season 5 episode 5 synopsis, it is mentioned that Dwayne Pride will be working closely once again with his father due to Cassius Pride's (Stacy Keach) involvement in an unsolved casino heist case. But the synopsis also mentions a family member Dwayne never knew existed will be entering his life in the upcoming episode.
A cursory glance at the confirmed guest stars for “NCIS: New Orleans” season 5 episode 5 reveals that Dwayne Pride's mother – to be played by “Hindsight” actress Annika Pampel – will make an appearance in the upcoming episode. A casting for a young Jimmy Boyd (Craig Cauley, Jr.) and a young Cassius (Justin Miles), as well as a young Dwayne (Preston Richardson), seems to imply that the past will be revisited through a flashback.
Two characters in the “NCIS: New Orleans” season 5 episode 5 guest cast list are of interest for fans. If Dwayne's mother will be making an appearance in the upcoming episode, this will be the first time that she will appear on the show. In addition, getting a second actor to cast a younger version of Jimmy Boyd (Jason Alan Carvell) seems to imply that the character will be of particular importance in the future.
Since there is no older actress who will be portraying Dwayne's mother in “NCIS: New Orleans” season 5 episode 5, it seems that the closest potential family member that Dwayne will be meeting will be Jimmy Boyd. How exactly he will be related to Dwayne Pride has yet to be revealed.
Fans looking forward to seeing how Dwayne Pride's mother and Jimmy Boyd make an impact on the usually stoic team leader can catch “NCIS: New Orleans” season 5 episode 5 when it airs during its weekly Tuesday schedule on Oct. 23. Hopefully, the new family member won't be another one who tries to bring a good man down.
