Kensi Blye (Daniela Ruah) never believed her father’s death was an accident, and on tonight’s episode of NCIS: LA, the agent comes closer to the truth than ever before, but it could come at a big price: her freedom.
In tonight’s episode, after a former member of her father’s sniper unit is killed, Kensi becomes suspect No. 1 just as the pieces of Kensi’s solo investigation into the incident start coming together. “She’s just trying to hold it together and figure this out because she’s so close, so close, to finding the truth about her dad. And, if you can put yourself in those shoes, you know how despairing that is,” says Ruah.
The emotional predicament leaves Kensi showing colors the audience rarely sees from her and finding support from her fellow agents — particularly her partner Deeks (Eric Christian Olsen), who joined the show full time in season 2 and has since shared a will-they-won’t-they dynamic with Ruah’s character. “The ‘I’m your partner no matter what’ attitude definitely kicks in,” says Ruah. “There’s some great scenes, and it’s wonderful to see that even in a situation they don’t ever find themselves in — her being so emotionally fragile — it’s still Kensi and Deeks. You get more of that banter, but you also pick up on the care they have for each other. You see them on many different levels as a team because there’s so much going on.”
So much, in fact, that the storyline spans two weeks, with the second part airing next Tuesday. The episode, previews Ruah, will feature one of the most action-packed Kensi sequences ever. “I wanted to make it the most aggressive fight ever because she’s fighting for her life here,” she says.
But Ruah, who admits she loves the fight scenes, can also rock a dress like the best of them, as evident in the new cast shot. (Noir seems to be a bit of a theme among casts this year.) View the exclusive photo below!
There’s trouble afoot on NCIS: LA.
As previously teased, a beloved member of the team is going to take a bullet in the show’s Sept. 20 premiere. But who? The explosive new promo, which EW has scored exclusively, has your answer…[Major spoiler ahead!!]
IT’S HETTY!
As you pick your jaw up off the floor, allow executive producer Shane Brennan to explain the decision, and how it ties together Hetty (Linda Hunt) and Callen (Chris O’Donnell): “Linda is always up for anything, and it seemed right. It seemed like the right way for us to get into revealing a big piece of Callen’s backstory and, in the process, her backstory. We find out as much about Callen as we do about Hetty in this first episode. It was really, I guess, a way of us exploring the hidden relationship between Callen and Hetty.”
And while Brennan says the premiere — which will pick up seconds after the finale and be told in real-time — will reveal “quite a lot,” a new string of questions will most certainly arise from the information we learn. “When you [watch] at something like this, you get answers, but then you’re like, ‘Ok, but why did that happen. Or when did that happen?’ There are always questions that spring from the answers.”
So can fans expect a massive cliffhanger ending in the premiere? Brennan wouldn’t say. But he teased, “It isn’t quite what you think; that’s what I’ll say. I’m a great believer in playing with the audience’s expectations. And I guess that’s one of the reasons NCIS: LA is successful. We keep them a little unsettled.”
