Sneak Peek!

Spoiler:

[maplezbear]

Haha Hetty acting like she was asleep when Duggan was talking to hertalking to Duggan

Aww poor Deeks. It was nice seeing Kensi's mom too

Haha the cleaning lady ignoring Callen and ogling Sam

This FBI chick is bad. Haha Hetty working her when she is suppose to be working Hetty and her getting caught taking selfie with Hetty

What is up with Nell? It looks more and more like she is the mole... but I dunno. Like that she is going in the field though. Missed Seeing her doing field work.

Daaang!! Deeks getting a face full of toolbox! And Nell taking the Garcia down. So good!

Nice seeing Eric in the shooting range. Haha Nell walking in on him talking to the target

So loving Nell in the field! That UC gig and her getting that casting agent ... Callen calling her the Nellverene. She was very bad ass this episode!

Nellasaouars love all the nicknames Nell she is getting.

Like that deal Hetty made and the look on Dougan's face when she walked out haha. What an idiot. So 90 days in LA time for this mole to be resolved. Hoping that will be a quicker 90 days than in actual time

That last scene with Deeks with Kensi so sad. I can't wait for her to finally wake up.

Ahhh we have to wait another week for an episode

[shinebrighterxx]

I loved Hetty pretending to be asleep too

Poor Deeks I just want to hug him

Then Nell being told she's going to work in the field is bittersweet. I remember that she was going to but never thought about what it'd mean for her being asked & how sad it'd be. Like seeing Nell in the field though

I like the little scene between Nell & Deeks

aww Deeks & the ring that's just cruel & cute all at once

[maplezbear]

Good point about Nell. It is bittersweet because of that.

Yeah that scene with Deeks and the ring was also cruel Poor guy.


It's nice you are only 3 episodes behind us

[shinebrighterxx]

I didn't see Nell acting suspicious but on the other hand I felt she was trying too hard to be good which was odd? I wonder if she's putting too much pressure on herself to be both as good as Hetty & Kensi & to do both roles? I also do hope that she's not the mole

I know I like that fact now for the other shows to come back

[maplezbear]

Was this the episode where the FBI guy was giving a speech to everyone? If it is, that's when Nell was acting suspicious IMO cause she kinda snuck out and went upstairs to Ops, which I thought was odd.

But what you are thinking is a good speculation. I never thought that she could be putting too much pressure on herself> Totally could be it. I also hope she is not the mole too.

Yeah, shame the othe rshow hasn't come back yet for you

[shinebrighterxx]

I don't think so but could be. I might need to rewatch if I've still got the recording

She could also be putting too much pressure on herself & trying to be as good as the others while also covering up being the mole. But I really think that them making her look suspicious could be to make us think its her & throw us off seeing who it really is? But mostly I hope it is none of the main team/characters & is instead someone we don't know or love

[maplezbear]

Good points. THey are probably just trying to throw us off. I also hope it doesn't end up being a main team member. Though, instead of it being someone we don't know, I think it would be good if it is someone we have met before (like a suspect in a case before or another agent ect).

[shinebrighterxx]

Yeah I'd like it to be someone we've met before, but not one of the main cast

[maplezbear]

Exactly

[broken melody]

Great episode!

I couldn't believe Dougan left Hetty alone with the FBI woman He should have known that wouldn't work.

As for Nell acting suspicious, I think it's just hard for her to replace both Kensi and Hetty, and after what happened to Kensi I think she was a little worried about doing field work. I don't think she's the mole but of course you never know.

I felt so bad for Deeks when he thought Kensi was waking up

[maplezbear]

I guess that could be about Nell.

[Ladybird16]

Hetty was so awesome in this episode.
