Fans will have to wait for a while before "NCIS: Los Angeles" season 8, episode 11 is released. However, there are already lots of speculations as to what viewers can expect when the series returns this December.

As of now, two plotlines have already been revealed for the upcoming episode, titled "Tidings We Bring." Although its title suggests that Christmas is going to be in the air, it looks like things are not going to be pleasant for the members of Los Angeles' premiere law enforcement agency.

Spoilers for the upcoming episode suggest that someone important will go missing, forcing NCIS LA to launch a thorough investigation. The missing person is a Navy Lieutenant Commander who works for the NSA. As he disappears, the NCIS LA will conduct an investigation in an effort to look closer into the matter and find him.

The tension brought by the challenging search for the missing lieutenant commander will somehow be eased as the episode continues. According to reports, viewers will get to witness in episode 11 the agency's warm holiday celebration, which will take place as the members of NCIS LA decide to take some time off from their duty to spend the Holiday season together.

Spoilers also suggest that Kensi will be in a real struggle as she copes with the demands of being a first time mom.  

"NCIS: L.A." season 8 is currently on hiatus. Episode 11 will air on December 18, 2016 on CBS and Channel Ten in Australia.
