I'm stating it right off the bat - I hope they don't blow up this old-school diner. I am very nostalgic, and I hate when stuff like that happens on TV, it makes me so sad, even though it's fake!
There are some dudes sitting around. One's fat, one's young, and one's old. Then some creepy guy in a suit walks in, apparently they were all invited there by the same guy - rich dude is condescending to a waiter, and then they look around and realise everyone in the place has vanished.. And then it blows up. Goddamn.
Witty banter!! I love the witty banter!! Deeks is late bacause apparently he had some 'bad sushi' but Callen and Sam invented the bad sushi so they're not buying it (this is why I don't eat sushi, it canmake you sick..) but apparently Deeks ACTUALLY went to Vegas, possibly with a girl who, according to Kensi 'isn't even a real model!' Sam kicks Deeks's ass with a stick, then they get called in to Ops because they have a case! Gee, I wonder what that could be...
Apparently the diner had been closed a year prior, so it was staged as being open, to lure the 4 guys there. They were all invited by a Twitter account, whom they all followed. That Twitter account was run by the Naval Intelligence Agency as part of a secret operation called Wide Awake.
Callen and Sam interview the head of the project, who says it has to do with predicting terrorist threats using an online game that random people play. The men killed at the diner were all members of the same group, which, he says were the best of the best. And there was a 5th member in the group - which leads him (and me) to wonder aloud whether he was an intended target as well? Or the main suspect?
Deeks and Kensi are going to interview the 5th guy, a Mike Hoffman, and they're arguing about Vegas (Deeks thinks they should go together, and Kensi thinks that's a bad idea - I think it'd be hilarious!) so a girl with pink in her hair and weird clothes runs past them and they get into a different argument about the difference between hipster and emo.. AND HAHAHA DEEKS SAID 'TOUCHE!' For those of you who are 'Streets behind', that is a throwback to last week's episode, when they had an argument over the proper use of 'Touche' :P The fun and games is cut short when they find blood on the wall - and Kensi's jacket. They figure it must have been wiped off the girl. Deeks get to Hoffman's apartment and finds a dead guy on the floor - Kensi trails the girl down the street, but she gets away because a train got between her and Kensi. For a second, I thought she was going to let it hit her.
Turns out the dead guy was not Hoffman, but the girl was definitely acquainted with the real Hoffman.
The doctor guy who was head of the operation is apparently the only link between the 4 victims. He apparently gave his project results to a guy named Toretto at the Pentagon, because he wanted to see if his program was working. Sam gets very mad when they hear this, and then as they're leaving they see the same pink-haired girl trying to get into the building. They yell at the security guards to stop her, and she kicks one and takes off. I can't believe she's managed to get away from 4 NCIS agents! That's one ninja girl! Apparently her name is Astrid and she'd been living at Hoffman's apartment for a few months. I think she's his daughter!
Callen and Sam go to visit Toretto, and he comes speeding out of the parking lot in his car. Another car comes speeding after it, and they give chase. The second car crashes into an 18-wheeler and the driver is killed, but Toretto gets away.
They manage to call Astrid, she has Hoffman's cell phone, and Kensi manages to talk to her. She mentions that Hoffman is a gambler, they find him at a casino. Deeks and Kensi do their bickering-couple routine and lure him outside! I was right, he is Astrid's father - he thinks O.o And they figure out that Astrid was actually the one playing Wide Awake, on Hoffman's computer.
Hetty pulls Nell aside and talks to her, tells her to sit in her desk chair 'This is a trick, right? You want to see my reaction.' 'This is a chair, Miss Jones. Sit in it.' LMAO she's a scary lady when she wants to be! She said that Nell has the highest IQ of anyone there (Don't tell Eric!) and wants her to play Operation Wide Awake.
Doctor Mathers has slipped the cops tailing him, and apparently the program doesn't work.
Callen and Sam go to Mathers' house, and they find it's been broken into - by Toretto! He tries to get past 2 guns - with a fire poker ahahaha and Sam pulls a ninja move on him lol I'm so proud! Apparently Mathers was trying to kill Toretto, so (this makes no sense) Toretto broke into his house to talk some sense into him.. If someone is going to kill you, you RUN AWAY FROM THEM!! durh..
Eric refers to Nell as his 'lovely assistant' haha and then modifies it to 'colleague' she looks so ticked off, I guess he did hear about the IQ thing... Apparently Mathers called Astrid on Hoffman's phone, and is now heading to the casino where Hoffman usually is. Kensi deduces that Mathers must now know that he was hunting for the wrong person and he's going to try to kill Astrid. *Cue the suspenseful music*
They find Mathers (with a gun) at the casino, and follow him out a side door where he comes face to face with Astrid, also holding a gun. OK he runs from 4 highly trained NCIS agents, but will surrender to a 16-ish-year-old girl?? Guy makes no sense... Kensi tries to use her 'bonding' with Astrid to make her drop the gun, and Astrid says she has no friends Kensi wants to be her friend so Astrid's like 'If you wanna be my friend, let me shoot him' and Kensi convinces her not to. And for a second I thought Astrid was gonna shoot Kensi, but then she hands her the gun and it's all good...
Back at Ops, Sam says he knew where Deeks ACTUALLY was in Vegas - at a showing of Phantom of the Opera. HAHA That's my boy.. They also say that Astrid has Asperger's and she'll be OK on her own for a while, but might need help since Hoffman is facing jail time.
Then we cut to the boatshed and Kensi and Astrid are playing poker - Astrid asks Kensi if she's in love with her partner and Kensi doesn't actually answer.. INTERESTING!!! Then Astrid says 'If you want to find out more about me, you'll have to keep me around for a while' I HOPE THEY DO SHE'S ADORABLE!!! And then Hetty comes over and joins them and asks 'are you feeling lucky?' (because Astrid had been cleaning up until that point, and we all know Hetty's a freaking ninja lol). I half-expected her to add 'punk' to that sentence, but she's too classy for that :P
