I loved this episode so much. Eric and Nell were adorable I love what Eric said about the moment he realized he was in love with Nell.

I also really enjoyed Kensi and Deeks' scenes

I felt bad for Callen when he found out about Joelle's family. I'm still upset she lied to him. I liked Joelle a lot better than Anna

[Toni Boop]

Well, it was a really good episode. and yes. I'm beyond ticked off at Joelle. I dunno, I thought I liked Joelle better, but that was in the original persona. Not this new one. The real Joelle is more deceitful. Anna is who Anna is. With her, what you see is what you get. Just my two cents.

Terrific episode! Loved seeing Eric and Nell in the field and they were just so cute together. Eric describing when he knew he was in love with Nell was so sweet. Then Eric was the one to take down the bad guy! That should be a self-confidence booster for him.

The Deeks and Kensi scenes were good too. It was fun seeing them in the Winnebago.

I get why Hetty sent Callen to see Joelle at her home, because he does need to get over her, but it also seemed kind of mean.

Still not a fan of Anna.

Eric and Nell were so cute going undercover!

Same with Kensi and Deeks in overwatch

Can't believe Hetty sent Callen to Joelle's house. But then again, it's probably good that she did so Callen can finally put her behind him, but still. Like others have said, a bit mean.

The chase scene was good!! Eric and Nell shooting at the bad guy and Eric getting him. It was nice to see him in action again. It's also nice they finally showed their relationship on screen

It was nice seeing Dave back for an episode also.

Liked Anna and Sam teamed up this episode. It's nice that they are changing the teams up every once in a while.

It was a nice talk between Hetty and Callen at the end.

hmm I feel like the credits changed or I just don't pay enough attention to them but I'm sure it felt like it wasn't the usual one as I almost wondered if it was an old ep. But if they had changed it then Miguel wouldn't be there

Callen named Sam's car? fair enough

Nice change on who goes undercover Nice to see Eric & Nell undercover, I think they did good

fun watching Deeks & Kensi too

Also interesting to see Anna & Sam together, for yet another change I feel

Joelle why'd they have to turn her like this & hurt him? But guess he's got some closure now on it all

ok kiss interrupting is sad & funny all at once of course Deeks had to take photos. Oh now another interruption at least we're seeing the relationship on screen though

Nice talk between Callen & Hetty at the end Of course she'd set it up so Callen heals

[maplezbear]

It did seem like the credits changed, but I dunno

[shinebrighterxx]

you feel the same? interesting maybe it did then

[maplezbear]

I will have to watch them again next time to see for sure

This episode has episode commentary from Barrett Foa & Renée Felice Smith

The episode was their favourite one of the season

They got excited seeing their names "hey that's my name, that's your name, that's your face..." ect.

How did I not realise this - Keiko Agena who played Lane in Gilmore Girls is in this episode . Funnily when watching the episode yesterday I thought there was an actress who seemed familiar in it but couldn't place her & then never looked her up. Now I know why I knew her. Anyway in the commentary Renée says she had a fangirl moment over it & getting to work with her.
Crazy thing though, the actor who plays Keiko's husband in this episode - Gabriel Tigerman - is married to someone called Kathryn Fiore who went to high school with Barrett Foa (they were in home room together). Now that is a small world & pretty cool

Another connection - the fiance (at the time) of one of the writers for this episode appears in the episode - Patrick Wenk-Wolff. She didn't actually pick him for the role, someone else suggested it.

They talk a little about the cabin & how it was nice, but it actually was musky so their reactions to it - particularly the smell are real

Speculation - is the talk on when they knew they loved each other real or not

They point out a funny thing - Nell & Eric aren't standing close to each other but then Eric has his arm on Nell's shoulders. Each time they flip to the camera of the back of them suddenly they're next to each other closer so there's no gap anymore.

Interesting fact - Deeks never seems to drive on this show

Bar is a sweetheart - they love working with her. She's down to earth & fun

Nell tells a story about her sister dying - that supposedly is true to the character.

I remember this episode...

Keiko I think has another cameo in s9 or s10...

Small, small world... Thanks for the extra information!

And I'm glad that they also seem to like Bar

[maplezbear]

Interesting stuff! I don't remember Keiko in the episode I so need to do a rewatch. Maybe when start the seasons over on TV again I will start watching. I still hate that we can't stream the show

[shinebrighterxx]

No, Keiko only appeared the one time (at least according to IMDB)

I find it funny that I sat there knowing I knew her from somewhere but had no idea where

You should rewatch Steph as it is a fun episode

[maplezbear]

That is funny when that happens... when you know the person but can't figure out from where

I will look to see what seasons are airing on TV right now. It's hard to catch up with them on TV because they air a ton of episodes at once and sometimes out of order

[florerr]

I normally just stop the episode and look it up on imdb to figure out way a certain extra is familiar

That's the beauty of re-runs

I will never forget how the Spanish television aired re-runs with literally no breaks in between and where even the intro/end was cut of...
