Tom Tarwater here, and I'm an apostle with an epistle for you. I just got through watching this episode where Kensi and Deeks show off their love for each other in a discreet way. There's an assassination attempt on Ambassador Nancy Kelly (played by Julie Chen who had been on THE TALK at the time) at the United State Consulate in Sfax, Tunisia. Friends and neighbors, I know this TV production is not an accurate representation of the locale, but this is a TV episode so suspend that disbelief. Anyhoo, Ambassador Kelly is evacuated to safety, while Sam Hanna and G. Callen go over their with some specialized equipment that takes 3-D photos of the inside of the consulate, but they had better do it in a hurry as the terrorists are about to invade the consulate just like the Iranian Revolutionary Guards did to the U.S. Embassy back in 1979. There's a massive 3-D printer that recreates everything inside the consulate, including the corpses. Deeks is riffing on Kensi about the Mr. Magoo cartoon series, but we see her delivering a caress of her man's brawny back. Come to find out, Ambassador Nancy Kelly is not the target. It's actually U.S. Navy Captain Alan Beck, and he is being held hostage at a two-story neighborhood manse by those same teerorists. He knows the names of the U.S. agents holed up in hostile countries. His rescue by the NCIS gang along with special ops personnel and FBI agents arriving in breech vehicles is reminiscent of the Special Air Service's rescue of the hostages at the U.S. Embassy on the outskirts of London as depicted in the action thriller THE FINAL OPTION (1982). This was one of the way better NCIS LOS ANGELES episodes. That's just how it is. Thank you very much for reading my review.
