S05.E22: One More Chance

[formerlyfreedom]

Sam is convinced that the theft of software for a new unmanned aerial vehicle is connected with the disappearance of the lead engineer's 10-year-old daughter, a girl Sam once provided protection detail for in Saudi Arabia.

Liked this episode -- in fact it may have been the best episode of NCIS:LA this season.  Loved the flash mob plan and the blown up trailer in the trailer park.  My biggest complaint was the fact it was the skate kids.  I was sure it was the male second in command at the company.  And the little girl was a very good actress.

I really liked this one as well. It was a nice breather after what was quite frankly a bit a grind with the last 2 episodes.

 

I liked seeing our flirtatious Kensi-and-Deeks banter back in action. The look on Nell's face when she made that crack to Eric about notches in his bedpost was the funniest moment of the episode. Callen talking Sam down but trusting him was great. The only part that didn't fit (at least to me) was this connection Sam had the little girl. We've never heard of her before and if he was running security in Saudi Arabia recently enough that the child is close to him, shouldn't we have heard about it? He's been with NCSI (or at least partnered with Callen) for 7 years and the girl is 10.

 

LOVED the conversation between Kensi and Deeks about family and kids. Interesting to me that both of them seemed to have reversed positions about it. Deeks realizing how vulnerable a family can make a person and Kensi pointing out that family means people who are there for you always.

 

I don't care what the spoilers and hints from the producers have been about that DEA agent coming back in the finale and causing issues. I cannot see her coming between these two in anyway, unless she's offering Deeks some fantastic job. The closeness we saw between them in just this episode was palpable and quite frankly if that step back 2 weeks ago didn't mess it up, then I can't see Talia (is that her name?) doing so either.
