Heading into its 12th season, NCIS: Los Angeles has a few dangling threads that need to be, if not resolved, at the very least addressed.
Operations manager Hetty Lange (Linda Hunt) is eventually going to retire, and it’s unknown who will replace her. Special Agent Sam Hanna (LL Cool J) took it personally when SEALs revealed their chief, Argento (Juan Riedinger) killed a sedated prisoner and civilians, and his trial is still coming. Anna Kolcheck’s (Bar Paly) record was completely erased and the (former?) fugitive isn’t behind bars because of who her former cellmate is.
Meanwhile, partners and spouses Kensi Blye (Daniela Ruah) and Marty Deeks (Eric Christian Olsen) have been trying to have kids (following earlier, key conversations in their relationship about the subject). And intelligence analyst Nell Jones (Renée Felice Smith) isn’t quite sure what the future holds for her professionally or personally.
With filming set to begin in early September on Season 12 and new episodes possibly coming as early as November, now’s the perfect time for a refresher. Scroll down for seven episodes you should try to watch before then.
