NCIS: New York Season 1, Episode 5 ‘True Love’ continues to open up the world of the show with presumably some backstory on Nick’s partner, which will probably give us some insight into not just who Nick was, but how he has become the man he is today. And hey, I’m not saying it’s badly needed, but I am saying I would save everyone on this team from a fire before I come back for Nick, so please make me care.
Then there’s the promise of letting Addy do more, and honestly, Addy is the most interesting character for me right now. I want to know why she is the way she is. I want to know all the flavors of the way she is. I want to know why all that seems like it’s going to go great with her milk-drinking partner. So, give me more.
Also, when are we getting some Sean backstory? The tech guy always ends up having a cool backstory; I’ve watched these shows before.

Photos
I am personally very pleased about the fact that when I want to say something about Addy, Wyatt, or the team, I will have pictures of them to use. Even if all the pictures seem to be from probably two scenes. Again, I’ve known Sam for a long time; the show doesn’t have to sell him. They do need to sell the rest of the team.
Synopsis
So, Nick backstory? But more of an Addy focus? The synopsis teases that “when a naval interrogator is found brutally murdered in her own home, the team is called to the scene,” which gives us very little of the case. “Meanwhile, Nick struggles with the investigation into his old NYPD partner” is the only other thing we get, which is basically the one personal thing we’ve learned about Nick at this point. Hopefully learning more about it gives us insight into who he is, other than the “funny” guy.
The episode was written by Hennah Sekander and directed by Nelson McCormick.
Promo
Little by little NCIS: New York is giving us more from characters other than Sam and Nick, and ‘True Love’ seems to be the episode that will give Addy a chance to shine outside of the little moments we’ve seen of her and Wyatt. We don’t love her being the bait, but we have a feeling she can take care of herself just fine.
