NCIS: LOS ANGELES
The long-unresolved mole issue “comes back to bite us in the ass,” says showrunner R. Scott Gemmill, “and the team has a limited time to solve it before they all get canned.” So dire will things get, one team member confesses to being the traitor, while the story at large impacts “all of our characters, especially Sam and his family,” says the EP. Amidst that tension, “a mission gone awry” will accommodate Daniela Ruah’s latest pregnancy (as well as “throw a wrench into the works” for poised-to-propose Deeks), while ” a bunch of action in the field” is on tap for Nell and maybe even Eric. On the personal front, Callen’s father is set to return, and we’ll find out more about Granger’s past (which has “some darkness to it,” Gemmill teases).
BONUS SPOILER!: While Kensi is away, who will enter the fray? Arkady Kolcheck’s daughter, Anna (played by Bar Paly), will give the team a helping hand — “and we’ll push her relationship with Callen forward a bit, as well,” Gemmill says.
RETURN DATE: Sunday, Oct. 2 at 8/7c (CBS)
