Unfortunately, Monday's instalment will be the last fans will see of the Special Agents for a little while as the show goes on its winter break. 

The show will return with a three-way franchise crossover, which is set to air on CBS on Monday 2 January and will see the original series team up with NCIS: Hawai'i and NCIS: Los Angeles for the first time in the franchise's history. 

Fan-favorite agents from each show will join forces to solve a very personal and high-stakes case involving a mysterious hitman.
