Thanks for the thread!

YW Sorry it was a few days later than it should have been, but at least it was before the ep aired still

The ending!!! ...... I didn't saw this ending coming

AWESOME!!! EPISODE!!!! HALLELUJAH!!!!!!! Callen has a Sister and a family!!!!!!!!! Finally!!!!!!

Beautiful that ending with Gallen and Garrison at Amy's grave being on her grave was the perfect way for Callen to find out he had more family!! I had tears in my eyes!

Eric on the field was both hilarious and badass. He and Deeks were great and that conversation in the parking lot was so sweet Eric reassuring Deeks that Kensi will be back in the field again

Speaking of Kensi Loved the beginning of the episode with here and Sam and Callen!!

This season Densi is MAGIC!!! Deeks being the supportive to Kensi while playing checkers. My shippersheart was bursting with happiness when they intertwined their fingers hope soon Kensi will ask to see the ring again.

All in all for me this was the best episode of the season

Loved the guys visiting Kensi!!! It's nice seeing others visit besides Deeks. Glad they are progressing her recovery faster now!

Eric interrogating Fetor(?) with Deeks . And then out in the field with Deeks and him trying to get out of taking him with.

Like seeing Callen's dad back and the story line that they had.

Nice seeing Hetty interrogate.

Good Deeks and Kensi scene toward the end. I know Kensi says nothing is going on with Sullivan, but still has me a little worried. I liked that they actually talked about it.

I figured that Caterina was family to Callen somehow! It's great that he now has a half sister and nephew!!

Thought this was a really good episode.

I like that Callen is Uncle Callen. Also nice moment between Callen, Sam, & Kensi. Wait she's walking? When did that happen? We must have had a time jump

Eric is funny in the interrogation scene

Interesting to see Hetty with Callen's father. I forgot about Hetty's connection to Callen's mother. Since he knows who Hetty is does that mean she knows things about him? I think I really need to watch seasons 2-5 properly

Oh now we see Kensi still recovering, glad she isn't magically better & clearly still has things she needs to work on

they put a tracker on Callen's dad? I love that

I like the Densi scene the hand moment is sweet. They can be so adorable without any words then both of them did good with that scene too

Granger had a line "I'm not dead yet" it was just a joke which then went on to say "not even close" but knowing that Miguel was suffering from cancer while doing this & the outcome . Have they given an illness to the character? wow he sounds completely different right now

its weird hearing Callen called Grisha but of course his dad would call him that & I like their moments

predictable that Alex & Callen are half siblings by this point, although I had read your post while watching the ep

[maplezbear]

So weird, but I just watched this episode a few days ago. I thought the same thing when Granger said that line

Liked reading your comments


I wonder when they will bring up Callen's dad and Alex again. They kinda just dropped that after this episode.

[shinebrighterxx]

That's funny that you just watched it again . Guess that means you'll just remember the moments to figure out what I'm talking about

Well that's a shame it was dropped, hopefully it gets brought back up. It is implied they go & tell Alex who they are so it'd be interesting to know if she welcomed them into her life as family. Having a child (son?) she may have been a little wary of letting two strangers in, plus she just lost her mother so it was a sensitive time I'm sure. But Callen is a cop who helped her so who wouldn't want that in their life? I'd also be interested to know if he'd introduce himself as Grisha to her or not

[maplezbear]

Yeah for a change I remember the scenes you are talking about

I agree and it did seem implied, so I hope they did talk to her. That is exactly what I would like to know if she accepted them and everything else you wonder about

[shinebrighterxx]

it might help that I'm not AS far behind with this as NCIS but having you just watching it would have made it a lot easier to figure out all the bits I'm talking about

this is why we need to find out one day no need to bring them back necessarily, they just need to tell us some things so we have some answers about it

[maplezbear]

True! And yes it did

Agreed!
