Title:  “Unspoken”

Airing:  November 2nd.

What CBS is telling us:  “Unspoken” – The team searches for Sam’s former partner, Ruiz (Anthony Ruivivar), who disappears while buying a deadly explosive during an undercover operation, on NCIS: Los Angeles, Monday, Nov. 2

Unofficial Surveillance:

Kensi and Deeks working a crime scene (with a steadicam):

Guest star Antony Ruivivar is promising explosions for this episode:

This episode was filmed the week the cast and producers were at PaleyFest so most of the photos taken that week were from the event and not the episode.

 

Video Surveillance:

Preview:

Stunning as always to see an explosion on this program.  Sam’s past gets a face – Mark Ruiz.

Sneak Peek #1:

Hmm, could that be a little Deeks IA woes foreshadowing with Deeks’s “People change Sam, especially when they’re in deep cover.”  A little something to file away.

Sneak Peek #2:

Perhaps the betrayal comment in the preview is about Ruiz’s addiction issues.
