In the next episode of "Limitless," which is titled "When Pirates Pirate Pirates," Brian (Jake McDorman) will help free SAC Nasreen "Naz" Pouran, since the FBI leader was being held for terrorism suspicions.
According to a synopsis posted by The Futon Critic, Naz will be detained based on suspicions that she was funding terrorists. Brian and Rebecca (Jennifer Carpenter) will discover more things about Naz, when they try to investigate Naz's case, and will find out that she actually have a daughter named Ava.
The full summary reads, "When Naz is detained on suspicion of funding terrorism, Brian and Rebecca's efforts to clear her name lead them to Naz's daughter, Ava (Michelle Veintimilla), who reveals a family secret Naz is keeping from the FBI, on 'Limitless,' Tuesday, Nov. 10."
"Limitless" season 1 episode 8 was directed by Peter Werner and was written by Kari Drake.
Meanwhile, Brian faked sick in the last episode, and was taken by mercenaries, who were hunting a suspected terrorist somewhere in Pennsylvania. According to reports, the whole episode was greatly inspired by the film "Ferris Bueller's Day Off."
The executive producer of the show, Craig Sweeny, admitted he was heavily influenced by the movie during his interview with ET Online. "I would say I saw it five times in the theater on the first run," Sweeny said. When the showrunner noticed that he is using the same technique from the film into the CBS crime drama, he decided to pay homage to the 1986 movie. "I got really kind of determined to do an homage to the movie at some point, and I knew that our show was playful enough to get away with it," he explained.
Brian was seen having a fantasy version of Rebecca, who he nicknamed "Sloane Rebecca" last night. He even had a very detailed introduction scene at the beginning of the episode, and shooed away the viewers at the end.
Watch "Limitless" every Tuesday on CBS.
