In this episode of NCIS: Los Angeles, the team finally smokes out their mole after Owen Granger is injured in a car accident due to the effects of being poisoned. At first, no one is sure what is going on or who the mole is, but Hetty is determined to get them out into the open.
While all this is going on, Eric deals with falling under suspicion himself, especially when money is wired into his bank account. The team does all they can to find out who the mole is, and even when they do, there are still questions of who they were working for.
It was nice to see the mole storyline didn’t drag on for the whole season, although I am sure it will be a while before we find out who was behind the operation to steal sensitive information about the NCIS crew. TheCelebrityCafe.com has put together a list of the top ten moments from tonight’s episode “Traitor.”

But when Brown allows Hetty and Nell to hear he is alive, Eric tells them, “I don’t want to die in this old building,” which is a hint to Nell about where he is leading Carl. When they arrive, Carl is about to shoot Eric when Callen makes a distraction so Sam can pull Eric to safety.
