NCIS: LOS ANGELES delivered a devastating blow last night as Marty Deeks said his goodbyes to the team. And while CBS viewers were left distraught by the revelation, it turns out Kensi Blye star Daniela Ruah was similarly upset.
Marty Deeks’ (played by Eric Christian Olsen) time working alongside wife Kensi Blye (Daniela Ruah) and the rest of the NCIS: LA team has come to an end following Sunday’s dramatic double-bill. In heartbreaking scenes, Deeks packed his belongings as his tenure operating as a liaison for the LAPD and NCIS was ended – permanently. And watching the CBS scenes unfold from home left the Ruah reaching for the tissues.
A potential Deeks exit from the team had been hinted at way before NCIS: LA season 12 even got underway.
And it finally came to fruition in episode five in emotional scenes between Deeks and Nell Jones (Renee Felice Smith).
Even the team’s head honcho Hetty Lange (Linda Hunt) couldn’t pull enough strings to keep Deeks in his job and it turned out he was too old to retrain as just an agent.
