NCISLA Classified Preview: “Venganza” (S9E22)

Title:   “Venganza”
Airing:  May 13th
Filming:  Early half of March.
What CBS is telling us:   NCIS investigates the murder of a federal prison inmate who was the adopted daughter of a notorious counterfeiter. Also, Callen is summoned by the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) Internal Affairs board to discuss Anna Kolcheck’s (Bar Paly) actions during a joint NCIS and ATF case, on NCIS: LOS ANGELES.
What we think is happening:  Anna is back, Agent DeChamps is back and with a new agency and so are the counterfeiters from “Se Murio El Payaso” but at least one is not back for long.

Be on the lookout: GUEST CAST:

Bar Paly as Anastasia “Anna” Kolcheck
Last seen in “Vendetta” and now answering for her actions in that episode.

Marsha Thomason as NCIS Special Agent Nicole DeChamps
Kip Pardue as Michael Silva
Fernanda Andrade as Claudia Diaz
Everyone here was last seen in “Se Murio El Payaso” in October.  Seems Agent DeChamps took Sam’s advice since she’s NCIS in this episode.
