Last night’s episode of NCIS: Los Angeles was directed by Chris O’Donnel, who plays Agent Callan. In this episode, Sam is under arrest for the murder of a woman named Leyla, whom he has never met. Somehow, his DNA was found at the scene, and video surveillance of a man leaving the apartment bears a resemblance to his figure.
The case moves forward as they work together to clear Sam’s name and find out who is behind this. It turns out that a marine named Lee Stevens, who Sam knew years ago, is running an identity theft ring and he killed the victim so she wouldn’t reveal who he was.
It was great to see something else happen in the episode besides them hunting for terrorists and it showed the lengths the team would go to help clear their partner’s name. There were many amazing scenes in the episode and we are counting down some of the top ten moments that occurred in “SEAL Hunter.”

Deeks meets a witness who actually has a past with him. Heidi, played by Meredith Monroe, is a young woman who Deeks met while working as a cop and he helped her get out of being an exotic dancer. She is shocked to learn that despite getting a job at what she thought was a reputable gym, her boss is actually a criminal wanted for murder. She ends up helping on the case because she doesn’t want that to be a part of her life.

Sam, after finally being put on bail after being accused of murder, goes to interrogate Ray, the suspect who goes after navy SEALs who try to pass themselves off as the real deal. Sam tells Ray who he is and that they could work together since they are on the same side. Ray tells Sam he will check him out. They soon find out that Ray met with Leyla because she was doing books for a man who claimed to be a navy SEAL.

7. Interrogation
Interrogation scenes with Deeks and Kensi are always a treat and this one with Ray is great, especially after Deeks got a gun held on him when he snuck into Ray’s house. Ray refuses to talk even when he finds out Leyla was killed.

5. Deeks climbing
After seeing weapons on the top floor of Ray’s house, Deeks desides to climb the trells in order to get inside. The entire scene is funny and pretty neat since we get to see Deeks being agile and Kensi “spotting” him.

Eric gets into an awkward situation when he compares hacking to being like sex. Hetty walks in just as he is discussing this and he is silent as Hetty tells him if he really thinks the two compare, they need to have a discussion.
