Thanks for the thread!

To be honest, I can't wait to see Nell with Deeks again. I mean, I do miss Kensi being partnered with him.....but I also want to see more Nell and Deeks as well.

[shinebrighterxx]

You're welcome. The episode looks really interesting. It can be good to see people partnered with others for a change but I hope Kensi is ok & can return to work & being partnered with Deeks again

Thanks for the new thread Chelle!

Yes, it will be nice to see Nell with Deeks again!

[Joce Paradox]

Yeah, I wonder how long it'll be before Kensi can come back to work. I guess it really just depends on how she deals with everything that's happened.

[Mountain_Girl]

I wonder if they are going to bring Nate back. It seems they bring him back when something major happens to one of the team.

What did everyone think of the episode?

[Mountain_Girl]

I loved it.....especially the ending.

The Nell and Kensi scene, as everyone on twitter was saying, was perfect. Very touching to see them interact. At first I thought Nell was mad at her for some reason, but then I figured she was just leery of her as she doesn't know how to act around Kensi plus the fact that she was taking Kensi's place with Deeks and was probably worry about how Kensi would react.

I absolutely love Eric right now. The way he acted with Kensi (not the part where he was annoyed with her).......so bittersweet. I loved what he told Hetty. You could totally see he was in protection mode there.

Deeks and Kensi.....I can sense some tension, but that ending scene helped ease concerns. They might not be where they were before she left, but what was said in that scene seemed like a promise, to me anyway.

You know, the way Sam sees Deeks.......that is how I see Sam and Callen right now. I love their banter, but I think it is getting a bit accessive and annoying. I would love to see them more serious together. It seems that they are serious when they are alone, but together they are full of jokes and such, unless it is life or death. In the last episode I was hoping that they would be a bit more serious towards Kensi and Deeks and was sorely disappointed. The same happened with this episode. I would love some serious talk aimed at Kensi and/or Deeks. It would be nice to see the two older agents helping the younger. Like maybe Sam talking to Kensi or him talking to Deeks about Kensi......or even Sam and Callen giving her, in my mind, a long, overdue hug. I thought for sure that since she welcomed Callen back with a hug, that he would do the same here (she is his favorite).

Heh, When Hetty told her that she could be Deeks' partner again, I thought for sure that she (as ECO's pic showed) would hug and kiss her......it seemed like she wanted to before she turned to walk to the others.

Granger.......I'm actually liking him more. I now see him as like a father figure......you can see he wants the best for Deeks and Kensi. I think he has seen Deeks in a new light.....you don't see the malice Granger used to have towards him. When he talked about them there was a lightness in his eyes, not the hardness that would be there when he would talk about Deeks. I think he accepts what is going on, but was just making sure that he and Hetty were on the same page.

I absolutely loved the scenes with Nell and Deeks. I tweeted Renee about it saying that I was loving seeing the different sides of Nell. You could see that Deeks was also liking seeing the new sides to her. What I would like to know is what the whole last scene with them meant.....her talking about respect and control?

It was a pretty good episode. Not my favorite, but still very enjoyable

PRetty good episode!

Loved Nell in the field and working with Deeks.

Agreed with everything you said Mountain_Girl

[broken melody]

Loved the episode, it was really good!

I'm so glad Kensi's finally back, and that she'll be able to get back to work soon! I felt bad for her, being bored in OPs, but I did understand Hetty's decision.

It's what Deeks told her when they went to see his CI. But as it turned out Nell was more in control than Deeks was

I loved this episode!

I was waiting for Nate to show up... But then I remembered that he will only evaluate Kensi after Dani's 2nd pregnancy...

Anyways, Deeks & Nell were fun together, and it was hilarious to see Kensi being bored at ops too...


Hetty's reasons for keeping Kensi off duty & being worried about Densi finally makes sense... But Densi has nothing to do with the other couple from the past...
