As fans gear up for the emotional conclusion of NCIS: Los Angeles, the upcoming episode promises to deliver both suspense and personal revelations. In Season 14, Episode 18, titled “Sensu Lato,” Special Agent Kensi Blye (Daniela Ruah) and LAPD Detective Marty Deeks (Eric Christian Olsen) are faced with a perplexing case involving Navy reservist Dr. Howard, who has been stabbed and whose laboratory—filled with pesticides and insects—has been ransacked.
In a pivotal scene, Deeks and Blye meet with Layla Lewis, Dr. Howard’s former partner. Layla’s insights into their relationship reveal that, despite Dr. Howard’s brilliance, their partnership deteriorated into a work-centric dynamic. This revelation strikes a chord with Blye, who finds herself reflecting on her own marriage to Deeks. The emotional weight of this discussion is captured in a sneak peek video, highlighting how the couple processes Layla’s remarks and their implications for their own relationship.
Meanwhile, the episode unfolds with additional layers of intrigue. Retired U.S. Navy Admiral Hollace Kilbride, now the Operations Manager of the Office of Special Projects in Hetty’s absence, offers Sam Hanna (LL Cool J) an interim operations manager position. At the same time, Special Agent Devin Rountree (Caleb Castille) contemplates his future with the team, adding further depth to the episode’s narrative.
As the beloved series approaches its finale in May, the cast and crew are sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses of the final episodes. Ruah recently honored director Eric A. Pot on Instagram, showcasing both finished scenes and candid moments from the set, including an intense clip of her performing a dramatic scene.
With the two-part finale looming—airing on May 14 and May 21—fans are bracing for an emotional farewell. The final episode will not only wrap up the storylines of these cherished characters but also feature a special send-off immediately following the conclusion.
As the season comes to a close, viewers can look forward to seeing how Kensi and Deeks navigate the challenges of their case and the reality of their relationship, promising a memorable lead-up to the show’s conclusion.
