NCIS: LA - Come Back

Oh my god! So remember how Kensi had that fiance who turned out to be a bad guy?? Well my roommates and I have been watching Scandal lately, and the guy who played her fiance was a double-crossing male hooker. Why does he always play sketchy dudes??

KENSI AND DEEKS ARE MOVING IN TOGETHER!!! YAAAY! Eric is excited for them and it's adorable.

Hetty owns a building where something sketchy happened, and then she sends Kensi and Deeks off cryptically to be on protection detail for someone - DUN DUNNN IT'S JACK, HER EX-FIANCE!!

Hi. Remember me?

Sam and Callen start bantering about something that Sam was writing on his computer that Callen accidentally read over his shoulder. They track down a car belonging to a Mabel Perkins, it's at a chop shop, and suddenly Callen and Sam are outnumbered by some thugs (also a squirmy little evil guy with an electric drill) but they make short work of them.

Jack had been acting as a guide for a dude named Riggs who was documenting historical sites and artifacts, but then working with some sketchy people who were probably planning to steal it. Jack alerted Hetty, and then someone tried to kill him. Hence the protective detail.

Nell used to have the nickname of Indiana Jones (how adorable is that) and then Eric mentions her needing a whip and she gets a little TOO excited about that.

I've got a costume idea for Nell's next Halloween...

Also she may or may not have spent a summer following a band around. I love it when the nerds get some character development!

Jack's married and Kensi does a terrible job of acting like she's fine with it. Granger shows up at the safe house unannounced and that's how you get shot, bro.

Replace 'ants' with ' getting shot' and yeah, basically. 

Callen and Sam show up at the motel where the shooter's car came from, and the guy at the desk lies to them, runs away, shoots at them and then gets shot by them... Because... I dunno. I'm lost.

There was a text on the dead guy's phone from someone called Geb (not Jeb) Callen asks 'as in Bush?' But no, that one's name would be pronounced Jeb-exclamation-point. John Oliver has taught me well. 

Something-something undercover meeting with the Riggs guy, yadda yadda I'm too tired for this stuff... Riggs and a shady Egyptian dude show up at the meeting point, call Sam on a phone, spy on him, and then speed away? What the hell was the point of that... 

Jack doesn't know what Netflix is. Because he's literally been living in a cave, remember? Poor guy... Life without Netflix *shudders*

For real Granger, announce yourself before knocking!! You should know better than that! 

Also Riggs is dead. Oopsie.

They think Jack might have betrayed everyone and told the bad guys where he was to save his family. And now he's getting all reminisce-y with Kensi. And then people start shooting at them, cos he's a dumb-dumb double-crosser and put her in danger. BTW that actor's name is Matthew Del Negro and he REALLY plays a type. The bad guy stands over Kensi waving a gun, Jack says 'no kill me instead' and then they all kind of stand around waiting for the backup to arrive just in time. 

Also it turns out Jack's brave would-be sacrifice was all for nothing, because Hetty placed his family under protection as soon as it appeared he was in danger. Sheesh. 

This woman thinks of everything. 

And then she gives Kensi a hug and makes her feel better. Awwe.

Deeks said 'Granger Danger' hahahaha I love it. And Jack approves of Deeks, which is a stupidly symbolic gesture cos I don't think it really mattered if he liked Deeks or not... Since, you know, Kensi's an adult and all...

And she ended the episode by saying 'always' and I JUST watched the last Harry Potter movie on Friday and Alan Rickman is dead and AGHHH now I'm reliving it Kensi why would you remind me of something so painful?!!?!?!!
