Both NCIS (1.3) and NCIS: New Orleans (0.9) tacked on a tenth of a point for CBS, and NCIS was the evening’s most-watched program with 12.14 million viewers. FBI recorded its fourth straight 1.0.
On Fox, The Gifted matched the 0.6 for its last episode two weeks ago, but Lethal Weapon fell a tenth to a series-low 0.6. The Flash came in at 0.6 and Black Lightning at 0.3 for The CW.
NBC led the network race with a 1.7 in the 18-49 demo. ABC and CBS tied for second at 0.5. Fox’s 0.6 narrowly beat The CW’s 0.5 for fourth place.
