Yes to this....After all, as a COP, shouldn't he be a bit more careful?

Thanks to all for the clarification!

Several things: 1) Joelle? really? The vengeance trip would /would not be allowed (even by the CIA???) Was the "cane toss" at the end indicative of the fact that she was not as bad off as she claimed (double amputation not with standing ...), or what ?? 2) Am I a heartless ********for not wanting Kensi all sad/angsty? 3) Did the plot in the plot seem needlessly convoluted, and the explanation even more so, and rushed at that?

Several thoughts/questions (some have been mentioned already): 1) Agree that Nolan's new "neighbor/date/GF" arrival was a bit too convenient. 2) Did they say someone other than La Fiera ordered the sniper hit on Cesar?? 3) Agree that transporting La Fiera with such minimal security was amazingly dumb. 4) Was the red knotted thing Nolan found at the very end the same thing he gave as "borrowed" (Damn lighting)? If not, how did he seem to know it? 5) Did the Lucy u/c plot seem rushed to a conclusion? (I'm glad that it was, because I didn't like it. 6) Did they really have to screw up the wedding? (I know cliffhanger, but really??)

2 things: 1) What is "the talk" (between Bishop and Torres, and referred to by the rest of the team, and that e was rammed down our throats) supposed to be about, and were B& T goofing on the whole idea, because ??? { Or are we supposed to guess that they are already "together??} 2) Were the comments by Kasie regarding Bishop's "knowing how much pressure is required to crush a trachea, and how much more pressure is required to rip it out", and Jimmy (?) asking "how does she know that", supposed to remind us that Bishop is still secretly training with Odette (?) to become "Ziva 2"?

...and Bishops's Mother and brothers, for a bit.

I wonder if the Danny/Baez scene about Feeling "awkward" discussing her dating history is a step towards ,or a step away from a Danny/Baez hookup/relationship? I'd also like to have seen some of the sessions between the shrink and Garrett, Baker, and Sid. Did Frank say that Sid "is taking some time off"?(in the scene near the end where Baker and Garrett were trying to make excuses for Sid's absence)

Wow...an okay case, but first Fornell is leaving... did he buy Jack's house in Costa Rica?...Then Emily dies-and that poem......Wow

Did Deeks' hair look different-shorter, maybe darker, in a few scenes?

Regarding Danny's potential future "love life", Is it just me, or: 1) Did some of the comments between Danny and Baez -particularly in the hallway at the precinct-seem more "chummy" than "partnery"?? 2) That said, did the rapport between Danny and female lead detective on the shooting case seem to warm up as the case went on? (Almost like a "Hallmark Holiday Special" movie - at first the antagonize each other, but at the end.....) Am I reaching, or do these things set up an internal conflict for Danny?

A quick laugh: when Torres commanded "Alexa.....etc." MY Alexa, located near the TV answered " I don't know what that means"

I thought the ep was a bit disjointed. Nonetheless, some thoughts/questions: I guess the masks are needed to "acknowledge" Covid, but why can they remove them as soon as they get off the elevator.(Real life reason, not "TV visuals" reason??) Is Torres rich, or do NCIS agents make a lot of money? How else would he be able to afford that apartment?? Hated Palmer's wife dying. Was that mentioned earlier? Thought the memorial service at the end was touching. Did Bishop hold onto Torres arm/elbow part way through the scene?

I agree. I wondered who that was on the pool lounge, until the dialogue established that it was Delilah. She looked very different. I think it was the new/vacation hairstyle (bangs etc.), that made her look so different,and confused me, because near the end of the ep., with her hair pulled back/down, she looked like she had looked , in past eps.

Anybody count how many times the phrase "I (or you) did what I (or you) had to do"? I felt that it was too many times. I understand driving the point home, but to whom? The characters, or the audience? Did Mcgee or Gibbs ever say " you did it to save my life".

In the original series, Dornogan (spelling??) was gay. He was killed in the line of duty several seasons ago.

The impression I got was that Deeks passed FLETC on his own, and that Hetty got him "tossed out" so that SHE could present him-(from afar) his NCIS credentials.

I agree 100%. I thought that "young Hetty" was a bad Halloween mask. (no disrespect to Linda Hunt)

Several questions: 1) What was that airport scene all about??? 2)Did it feel like the Gibbs/Fornell subplot was filmed pre-pandemic? 3) Is the agent (name??) whose daughter was kidnapped, a member of the team? I don't recall seeing her prior to this ep.

Quote: Considering all it took was a 'visit' by Robin and him using his money+status, this only needed a passing mention a few episodes ago. "Oh, hey, it was great of Robin to sign over the Nest to you so you're all set on your visa and won't have to go back to the UK". I mean, seriously? WTF was this BS?? All that build-up for 'a dud of a firecracker' finish. I agree that the resolution, and the entire subplot, was lame and unnecessary.That said, if I heard correctly, Magnum called Robin to see if Robin could help, Robin flew to Hawaii, and (according to Higgins' explanation) talked with the immigration lawyer, where they then found an "obscure section of an obscure law" that gave them the "out". The solution was unknown to the cast until Robin arrived. Still lame.

I would think that with all those connections, especially MI6, Higgins could have "connected" her way to a Visa renewal....Oh yeah "plot point"...or plot hole??

Does anybody understand what TC was thinking, he should of had her get a divorce. My take was that he was couldn't do that to the new husband, who was "a great guy". A noble character trait-cause pain for himself, rather than the other guy.

Just saw the 4/17 episode.A couple of questions: (I feel as if I had missed some details, or maybe am just confused) Re: Mac and Desi at Mac's place looking chummy? Didn't they break up (last off season??) then decide that they loved the rush/danger of the fights, but should remain friends? Was Riley staying at Mac's house at the end of the previous episode? At the end of this episode (on 4/17) was the person Mac saw outside hie window.. Mac??? if not, anybody recognize the person?

I agree with those that though Joe Smith was a jerk. That said, he was older, aware that he didn't have much time left, and desperate to "rejoin his family" on the Arizona. Also, didn't somebody say that someone from the facility where he lived said that Joe had some form of dementia? I mention that because the short tempered aspects can be a manifestation. All that said, he deserved to be with his shipmates. Great episode.

2 questions: In this episode 1) was "Higgins" referred to as "Juliet" more frequently than usual? 2) Did Higgins seem to be more "tough/wise ass" than usual. I'm thinking mostly of the confrontation scene with the 2 guards of the drug dealer.

Maybe in the minority here, but I liked the fact that the Steve/Danno "goodbye" scene had just the 2 men. It was, IMO, moving and sad, and had an impact that would have been diluted by having the rest of the cast there. Besides, I think that S/D would not have been as emotionally expressive (tough guy love??) if they had the rest of the team as an audience (tough guy image?). Also: the rest of the main team each had their moment to say goodbye to Steve. I might have liked it more if the sequence of the scenes was reversed-Steve says goodbye to the team, then goes to the beach to say goodbye to Danny, then on to the airport.
