TUESDAY, APRIL 6, 2021 THE DAILY ITEM B5 WHAT TO WATCH

8 p.m. CBS NCIS Pam Dawber — the real-life wife of series star Mark Harmon — guest stars as an investigative journal- ist named Marcie Warren in the new episode “Gut Punch,” in which NCIS Director Leon Vance (Rocky Carroll, who also directed this episode) assigns Mc- Gee, Torres and Bishop (Sean Murray, Wilmer Valder- rama, Emily Wickersham) to COVID compliance duty at a foreign affairs summit. The assignment proves fortuitous, since the NCIS trio discovers a link to an- other team’s murder case.

8 p.m. CW The Flash While on a mission that takes them back in time, Cisco and Chester (Carlos Valdes, Brandon McK- night) nd themselves stubbornly stuck in 1998, where they are forced to repeat the same day over and over, in the new episode “The One With the Nineties.” They know the key to getting back to their present time can be found in Chester’s childhood home, but unpleasant memories of that time make him reluctant to go there. Elsewhere, Iris (Candice Patton) makes a connection with the speed force. Grant Gustin also stars.

9 p.m. CW Supergirl Lena Luthor (Katie McGrath) ponders how far she is prepared to go to stop her brother, Lex (Jon Cryer), as the stakes involving this arch-villain continue to rise in the new episode “A Few Good Women.” Mean- while, Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) and her team face an unprecedented challenge, one that forces Alex (Chyler Leigh) to her breaking point. Jesse Rath also stars.
