Top 10 moments from 'NCIS: New Orleans' episode 'Love Hurts'

Last night’s episode of NCIS: New Orleans, “Love Hurts,” had twists and turns aplenty and it was great to watch as the team worked together to figure out just what was going on with the case. The murder of Petty Officer Jonathan Bell takes a confusing turn when the team is unable to locate the woman he was about to propose to, Maria Garcia.

The man who admits to shooting him turns out to not be the one who made the kill shot and then to make matters even more confusing, it turns out Bell was targeted by a catfisher, or someone who pretends to be someone else online in order to enter a relationship. Did you follow all of that?

Meanwhile, we also got a glimpse into Chris LaSalle’s personal life, learning a little bit more about his brother, even though we still have plenty of questions about who he is. With so much going on and plenty of intense scenes on last night’s episode, there were plenty of moments that stood out, especially the rivalry between Patton Plame and Sebastian. Here are our top ten moments from “Love Hurts.”

At the crime scene, Sebastian mentions that he has a girlfriend and Chris, in a high pitched voice, says, “There’s a girlfriend?” It’s a very short moment, but it’s funny to see Chris’ reaction to this revelation.

Sebastian and Pride end up having a heart to heart when Sebastian tells Pride just because he hasn’t met his girlfriend in person doesn’t mean he is being catfished. Pride asks him to talk to him and Sebastian admits it’s scary to meet someone, such as a girlfriend, in person. Pride tells him in his own way that you just have to take the chance no matter what.

6. Rivalry

At this point, seeing the rivalry between Plame and Sebastian is amusing, especially when Plame gets annoyed about Sebastian looking up conspiracy theories on the Yeti and the fact that he hasn’t seen his supposed girlfriend. When they get a hit on Maria, Sebastian tells him to track the IP, which he’s doing of course. Then they both say they will call Pride, even though Sebastian said it first.

5. Too easy

We all know by now that if someone confesses and there are still more than 40 minutes or so into the program to go, then this case isn’t that easy. In this case, a man confesses to shooting the victim because he was into his girlfriend. However, Loretta informs Pride that the man’s shots came after the victim was dead and that a .30 caliber bullet killed their victim.

The entire battle the team faces to get everyone out of the restaurant safely is intense, especially considering they don’t know where Claudine is.
