Thanks for thre thread.

YW

I find it interesting that Granger's daughter is coming back into it. I wonder if they'll mention Granger much in the ep, & what became of him

[maplezbear]

Me too. I hope they do, because I would like to know.

[shinebrighterxx]

Yes. It'll be interesting if they do know what happened to him after he disappeared . If anyone would know I'd presume it'd be Hetty

[maplezbear]

This was a good episode.

Didn't expect it to be a continuation episode from when the girl was shot at the pool.

Mosley and Hetty trying to work in the same area is interesting. They again showed why Mosley was there - looking to break up the team it seems. I wonder if Hetty will end up running the team again or what they have in store for us with all of this.

It was nice learning a little backstory on Harley, even though it was sad.

Crazy that those Russian sleepers were trying to take down the police station. Good thing they all figured out what was going on (not like they wouldn't have )

I liked how they used Jennifer in the episode and that we learned what had happened to her. I am glad we got closure with know what happened with Granger. Glad Jennifer got to spend time with him before he died. I like how they finally wrote the character out; no more wondering, but giving him a nice send off.

Not sure of the time lapse between Hetty being saved and her coming back into headquarters? But she really didn't look to worse for wear. Maybe she put on some heavy make up to be seen by the team? I liked her talk to Hidoko. And yes the rug and heel talk to Moseley might have been just feeling her out. But like posted above(another forum), Granger was rough on them at first too. I loved that he went to his daughters, Jennifer Kim's to die. I also agree with both ideas listed elsewhere(another Forum), he should be left to rest under that tree, and his life should be celebrated. Not sure how you do both.
I was surprised that Keith Stiger killed his wife, but I guess she didn't really know about his life? Can't remember. But his business partners, that I at first thought could be in on it, actually had no clue. I was disappointed that "baddie" Chin Woo that came over from Korea to help Keith do his plan, wasn't a little more of a problem. Deeks took him down with only a short knife tussle. Stiger was a little more elusive. Also they talked about using the Polaris vehicles to move the bomb stuff to the tunnels. Are they a sponsor? Also didn't think that Sam's throw of the scanning device "ball" would have been so accurate. It went right in the one missing pane of glass. I would have figured that it would take out another pane, and Callen would say, "that works too!" They would have said it if Deeks threw it. But he probably would bounce it off the frame or wall, and ask Kensi if she had another one, or would retrieve that for him.
Talking about Mosley wanting to split up the team. Someone posted about the other NCIS teams being broke up also? Well the Gibbs team has had over the last few years had a few changes, so the team is relatively new. And with Vance right there, he can keep an eye on things. Pride's team has had a couple changes, and almost was broken up when he went rouge to stop Mayor Hamilton. So LA other then loosing Dom and Nate, hasn't changed to much.

Nice scene between Hetty & Harley at the start We learn something new about Harley too. Of course Hetty researched her

Funny watching Hetty & Mosley interact . Mosley trying to set her place as above Hetty - good luck with that, she'll do what she wants & what is best for HER team

poor Jennifer (Granger's daughter) out there with nothing Understandable request for pizza

Jennifer is fun to watch, I like her

Of course Hetty trusts her team as she picked them . What does Mosley want to do to them though? Don't think she likes or trusts Hetty... I feel there's history between those two...

This case however has me lost somewhere

no Mosley you aren't allowed to break people up Obviously Kensi & Deeks are in trouble given their relationship

aww closure between Jennifer & Granger Not surprised they killed him off (so to speak), but really like how they did it Glad they brought Jennifer back for it


None of the other teams have lasted as long as the LA team. Maybe Gibbs/Tony/McGee/Ziva but I think it may have something to do with being special OPs also? But this show has had no major cast changes. It lost a few at the start which I think were just throw away characters not really fitting entirely anyway (sorry Dom & Nate), then Granger being brought in & having to be written out & then being replaced by Mosley. They're not really a part of the team so much though. NOLA's grown as a team, as well as lost members. Pride & LaSalle have been working together a while though so that may be questionable but if that's the case then Gibbs & Tony should've been questionable too. Another point about LA actually is how we don't know how long they were working together before the show started (or at least Callen/Sam/Kensi) so while the team of four as it is now is around 8-9 years together, those 3 have been together longer. They are a family. Then NCIS had changes at the start, little like NOLA's had, but was solid for quite some time. It was just when Cote left it started getting shaken up so yeah that is the only thing you could compare this situation to. Makes me think that its as has been said about Vance being able to keep an eye on things but also it being special OPs. To me though it makes more sense to keep teams who work well together together not mix things up & make people have to learn how to work with someone new. Surely it solves more cases & saves more lives when you've got people who know each other & always have each other's back... A part of me suspects that maybe Kensi & Deeks having a relationship is that main issue for some higher up who's sent Mosley in to check it out & possibly look at splitting them up if not the others
