NCISLA Classified Preview: “Come Back” (S7E14)

Title: “Come Back”

Airing: January 25^th

Filming:   December 9^th to December 16^th

What CBS is telling us: “Come Back” – When Kensi and Deeks announce to the team they are moving in together, coincidentally, Hetty assigns them to protection detail for Jack (Matthew Del Negro), Kensi’s ex-fiancé, who is in possession of a list containing important contacts in Afghanistan that people are willing to kill to get their hands on, on NCIS: Los Angeles.

What we think is happening: Jack’s back (which is the name of a pretty good James Spader horror movie from the 1980’s too) just as Kensi and Deeks announce their plans to live together. Also, Hetty remains as cryptic as ever while Callen and Sam get into it with a dumb guy wielding a power drill.

Preview:

Sneak Peek #1:

Sneak Peek #2:

Sneak Peek #3:

That look between Kensi and Callen along with Deeks’s “cryptic” comment – they all know Hetty is up to something – just not something this big.

Sneak Peek #4:

Probably on the list of 100 people Kensi and/or Deeks thought would be the person they were protecting, Jack Simon would have probably slotted in around 2,712.

We’re off next week – a rerun of “Active Measures” to likely remind us about all things Russian, including the missing Arkady, before returning on the 8^th of February with the first of the two-part Russia storyline.
