NCIS: Los Angeles Season 12 has already put Marty Deeks through a gauntlet of challenges, but as fans gear up for Episode 15, titled “Imposter Syndrome,” the tension reaches a new peak. The recently released promo from CBS suggests a life-threatening situation for Deeks, portrayed by Eric Christian Olsen. The anticipation is palpable as the episode promises explosive action and suspense, with Deeks being shot during a dangerous confrontation.
The official synopsis teases a complex narrative involving the team’s struggle against the threat of deep fake technology, which allows the deceased terrorist’s likeness to be weaponized against them. As the team grapples with this unsettling development, Nell, played by Renee Felice Smith, warns her colleagues that their communications have been compromised, urging them to “Cease all communications.” The stakes rise dramatically when Deeks finds himself in a shootout, and as he patrols an apartment corridor, a mysterious gunman fires upon him, hitting him in the chest.
Fans are left on the edge of their seats as Deeks falls to the ground, and his fate hangs in the balance. The promo reveals that his absence later in the trailer only amplifies concerns about his survival. While the show has a history of bringing its characters back from perilous situations, the gravity of this moment raises questions: will Deeks emerge unscathed, perhaps thanks to a bulletproof vest, or could this be a pivotal moment in the series?
Meanwhile, Kensi Blye (Daniela Ruah) finds herself in the thick of the action, showcasing her fierce fighting skills as she takes down an attacker, contrasting Deeks’ harrowing ordeal. The episode encapsulates the essence of NCIS: LA: a blend of personal stakes and professional danger, as the team must not only confront external threats but also the internal chaos instigated by their enemies’ technological warfare.
As viewers eagerly await the episode’s premiere, scheduled for April 28, 2021, the question remains: can the team uncover the truth behind this high-stakes attack and save one of their own before it’s too late?
