‘NCIS: LA’ Scoop: Kensi and Deeks’ Will-They-or-Won’t-They Tension Intensifies

In the latest episode of NCIS: Los Angeles, the simmering tension between Kensi Blye (Daniela Ruah) and Marty Deeks (Eric Christian Olsen) takes center stage as the show dives deeper into their emotional struggles. With Hetty (Linda Hunt) facing tough questioning in Washington, D.C., the team is scrutinized by the Department of Justice, leading to unexpected revelations.

During an intense interview, Kensi finds herself rattled by the probing questions, forcing her to confront her past in Afghanistan. Olsen notes that this emotional unraveling sets the stage for a pivotal heart-to-heart between the two characters, marking one of his favorite moments of their relationship. “When their defenses crumble, it leads to a raw and heartbreaking conversation that gets to the heart of who they are,” he explains.

The episode also features a physical sparring match between Kensi and Deeks, showcasing their chemistry both emotionally and physically. Filmed without stunt doubles, the scene left them both bruised but captures the intensity of their connection. “It ends with her on top of me, delivering jabs while I can’t help but tease her about being a pole dancer,” Olsen adds.

Fans are also left wondering about the mysterious box Kensi gave Deeks for his birthday—a plot point that will return this season. “Only Executive Producer Shane Brennan knows what’s inside, and I’m just as eager to find out,” Olsen admits, humorously recounting his desire to sneak into the studio to uncover the secret.

As the season unfolds, viewers can expect more emotional depth and tension in the Kensi and Deeks storyline, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats. Will they finally take the leap into a relationship, or will their complicated past continue to hold them back? Only time will tell!
