Sounds like an interesting episode, which, at least based on the description, has nothing to do with the Russians for a change

Thanks for the thread!

Thanks for the thread

[florerr]

This was an interesting episode...

... Though quite scary to see the deep fake technology in real use... I felt that Fatima was at fault too for not paying attention, or shouldn't agents have a different off-work phone as well?

But we had a note from Hetty, and Nell finally accepted to officially step into the assistant director position

Spoiler:

I didn't like the end at all with the implications of Katya resurfacing again...

[shinebrighterxx]

I completely forgot this would air here last week

Funny how Callen called Fatima & Roundtree children

I just knew that guy with Fatima had to be up to no good

wow that is scary how they have tricked everyone

Good Nell. Trust your team

oh good the real Fatima is there now Glad Nell was onto things & traced the download

Katya makes sense to be behind it all

On another note - can we please have Kensi pregnant soon

[florerr]

Chelle

You had better things to take care of last week

Or just have them adopt a child?

I still don't like the mention of Katya again

[shinebrighterxx]

Maybe. I think it was more it had been too long between episodes that I forgot Australia actually got LA a few days later. I am too used to waiting for things

I like that Katya was mentioned as maybe that means the storyline won't drag much longer

[BlondieLeigh]

Guess we're not that far behind as this one aired here. What a wild ride.

[florerr]

It's nice that you're both caught up with the show!

I doubt that Katya being mentioned would mean that "her story-arc" is getting close to be finished... Everything Russia has been the part of the show so long, that I have a feeling that they're going to bring the most out of the "Katya'/"Russian mole/Hetty's side project" arc...

[shinebrighterxx]

Nice you're caught up Leigh

Perhaps. But for me they could've just dropped the subject again & not brought it back up until next season. So for me the fact that they're still mentioning Katya makes me think that maybe they'll use her for the season finale. They're not just putting it on the back-burner again. Doesn't necessarily mean it'll end, but at least its moving forward & if its moving forward then its getting closer to that end point. (Unlike the guy who's going to come after Kensi at some point that's still hovering over them as a threat) There is the Hetty side of things of course though & that can't move forward until they know its safe for Linda to return to work

[BlondieLeigh]

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if the Katya stuff goes into next season, tbh. I just hope it doesn't.

[maplezbear]

I can see them bringing the Katya stuff up in the last episode and possible going into next season then ending that storyline. Like maybe a cliffhanger type of deal.

[BlondieLeigh]

Seems like the most likely option.

[florerr]

Maybe, but they could also bring back Kensi's nemesis for the season finale, and keep everything Katya for s13...

I'm thinking she'll be the cliffhanger
