NCISLA Classified Preview: “The Frogman’s Daughter” (S12E10)

Title:  “The Frogman’s Daughter”

Airing:  February 14, 2021

Filming:  December 9th to 17th, 2020

What CBS is telling us:   When Sam’s daughter, Kam (Kayla Smith), is kidnapped after leading citywide protests, he will stop at nothing to find her. Also, Deeks rejoins NCIS and Callen searches for answers about Anna, on NCIS: Los Angeles.

What we think is happening: Sam goes full papa bear searching for information on Kam’s disappearance, and Investigator Deeks is here (and hopefully explained)! He and Kensi take their next steps toward parenthood.
