NCISLA Classified Preview: “Getaway” (S8E18)

Title:   “Getaway”
Airing:   March 19th – the third of four consecutive episodes.
Filming:  February 1st to February 9th
What CBS is telling us:  After the U.S. Treasury Department is hacked, Nell and Eric go undercover inside a couple’s retreat to track a tech-savvy husband and wife linked to the crime. Also, Digital Forensics Specialist Dave Flynn (Scott Grimes) arrives from the NCIS cyber office in San Diego to run ops while Eric and Nell are on assignment, on NCIS: LOS ANGELES. Bar Paly returns as Anna Kolcheck.
What we think is happening:  It was my hope that when Kensi returned to the field that we wouldn’t see Eric and Nell exclusively in Ops.  Nice to see the program agrees.

That’s the promo that aired immediately after last week’s episode.  CBS has been running generic promos for all their programs during the basketball:

Deeks definitely got him.

Welcome back Dave.

They are the cutest.
