NCIS: Los Angeles returned with an episode focused on the team working together once again ever since Kensi was injured in the helicopter crash. While she had been back to work before, it was in the midst of the mole hunt and she still wasn’t completely cleared for the field. However, in this case, she was able to work with her partner in an episode that made for a lot of hilarity.
In the case, the team was looking for a missing Lieutenant and his grandfather after they went missing following a call for an ambulance. It became apparent the grandfather was the target as the case moved forward.
While the case was ongoing, we also saw the impact of the past year on the characters themselves. Eric was taking appointments without talking about what was going on and Nell also had her own confession to make.
Callen also had his own storyline when his father reappeared causing issues due to his following his daughter’s ex. There was a lot going on but it was a welcome episode after an intense mole hunt.
This episode also saw the goodbye of Owen Granger after the loss of actor Miguel Ferrer. There was a different ending than expected for his character and it was a fitting tribute to an actor who will be missed going forward.
