NCIS: LA - Humbug

OK I missed the opening because I just got home from an exam... MEANING I AM FREE FOR THE CHRISTMAS BREAK!!! But I'm guessing it was things and excitement and whatnot.

Thank god for the Nell and Eric recap - Santas robbed a place with technology contracts to the government. Also, Granger is still recovering so I guess he won't be here to ruin anybody's fun. YAAAY!

Callen's girlfriend was a witness, they held a gun to her. Apparently this means they can't work on the case because she's not allowed to know who they really are. She's pretty. Deeks wants to poke and prod about what she's buying Callen for Christmas - apparently she thinks Callen has to wear a suit every day. I WISH!

Can't Callen always wear a suit?? I like suit-wearing Callen!!

Kensi freaks out briefly over the concept of the 'safe gift' - methinks she got Deeks a shirt and tie as well... And you know what, my parents have been married for 26 years, and that's all my mom gives him for Christmas.. and Father's Day... And his birthday. I think they're fine.

Deeks thinks the tech guy saying the word 'bustier' is creepy. I concur. They had malware that they were studying in order to figure out how to combat it, and it was stolen.

Eric is talking to a computer, calling it 'baby' and himself  'daddy' and Nell overhears him. Awks. Then she cancels their plans! Bad Nell! DOES SHE HAVE A SECRET BOYFRIEND?!!! No, she's going to visit her family. Thank god. OH MY GOD SHE INVITED HIM and he shocked himself. Side note: I would love to see the two of them hanging out outside of work like Sam and Callen do.

Look how cuuuute!!!

Deeks and Kensi are going snowboarding together for the holidays! Aww.. Everyone's cute and flirty except me. *Obligatory moment of self-pity*.

The guy Callen and Sam interview looks like he has a cloud attached to his head. His hair is that pale and fluffy.

Deeks lures one of the robber-Santas out of his house by smacking his crappy old car and setting off its dying alarm.  Then he finds another Santa in the house - looks dead but is just REALLY drunk. Deeks gets the honour of interviewing him - he's kinda cute but hilarious, keeps asking Deeks if he's the police. Also I looked up the guy who played him because he looked vaguely familiar, and OH MY GOD

This guy...

Was the voice of one of my favourite characters on one of my favourite childhood TV shows!!! RECESS!!!!

Callen tells Joelle he 'can't imagine what it's like' having a gun pulled on him. And I'm laughing. Turns out the flash drive that went missing ended up in Joelle's bag. The creepy 'bustier' guy from before was the one who hired the guys to rob the office and Hetty makes him really uncomfortable by sitting so close to him in interrogation. Now they're going to kill Joelle! Because this is the stupidest plan ever! Having a random oblivious third-party be the target?? And he found out who she was by looking at the store records?? What if she'd paid in cash?!! These bad guys are really stupid. Kensi strangles one of the bad guys just feet from where Callen and Joelle are dancing in her living room.

The other guy manages to break in because Deeks didn't get to him in time? Come on!!! They watched the guys walk up to the house!!

And the rules of statistics and physics are broken yet again - an automatic weapon misses them because a bad guy was using it! Naturally, Joelle freaks the hell out when Callen starts shooting back. And Kensi and Deeks couldn't have followed them into the house and helped him deal with the bad guy?!

Callen expects Joelle to be relieved that Sam's kids are 'just kids'. Even though her friends and boyfriend all have secret lives she didn't know about. She calls him a 'humbug', which means imposter. And tells him to leave. Sad Callen face.

Nell needs to stop saying cute things to Eric while he's holding electronics. He nearly blinded himself with his camera when she said he should pretend to be her boyfriend! I think she's a danger to his safety!! (But side note: AWWWWW!!!!!!)

Granger came back, but everyone was gone first. Grinch-ger will not spoil anyone's Christmas!!!

Unless his heart grows three sizes, that is.

They're all going skating - but Sam can't skate. Deeks didn't know they got a Christmas bonus. Kensi doesn't wanna just be 'safe', so no more games between her and Deeks and then they banter and make out and my heart melts. Like seriously, someone send an ambulance. Pool of liquid where there should be a muscle. Kind of an important one. I shouldn't go without that.

Michelle surprised Sam for Christmas by having Aiden come home - awww!!! And then Joelle shows up randomly, decides she wants to get to know the REAL Callen (asks about his last name hahaha long story) and they show Kensi with snow on her derriere - clearly she's fallen over a few times. I like the fact that I'm good at something she isn't, for once!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays NCIS: LA fans!!! See you in the new year!! :D
