I also adored the scene of them cooking in their “Fast Gringos” food truck, which offered a lot of great moments. (Granger’s aversion and surprise to the hug made it even better.) But Deeks summed up the scene’s emotions best by hugging Granger – after announcing he was going to do it. Each character expressed his/her relief at the news.
Those dramatic moments added a nice element to the show and made it even more meaningful when Granger spent four hours on the phone to get the man and his family released. His word became hollow and he couldn’t do anything to change it. They wanted to do right by him since he had helped them with their investigation, and it was awful to see both the grandfather and the young boy saying to Deeks, “This is not what you promised,” and, “You said you were the good guys.” Deeks looked distraught, which just showed how much he cared and wanted to keep his promise, but he was helpless. It was great that all the team members, but especially Deeks, were so invested in trying to help this man. The juxtaposition of those two scenes made it all the more devastating and made you feel even more for Alejandro – and Deeks and the team who hadn’t been able to help him. I loved how the touching scene at the hospital – where the grandpa, Alejandro, was so thankful to the NCIS team – was immediately followed by the heartbreaking scene of ICE coming to pick him up to deport him and send his family back to Mexico, where they were in danger. Combine that with the great acting and you have a character recipe for success!Īnother thing the episode did well was give us a little drama in the midst of the case. The characters are so well-defined and individualized and fun and the writers do a wonderful job of giving them great dialogue that adds new layers to their character definition. It reminded me how great the character writing is on this show. Sam and Callen were hilarious together, and Kensi and Deeks were both amusing and sweet at various times. And I love that the episode highlighted all the main characters. It had so many funny moments and great scenes that it was hard to pick a favorite. Sam and Callen go undercover as food truck operators to gain intel while Kensi and Deeks get help from the infected man’s father. The case takes the NCIS team to Tijuana, Mexico, where someone has used a warehouse to produce the biological agent. This week the fun ride continues with “Black Wind.” The episode follows the investigation into a man’s anthrax infection. The second half of the season, beginning with the holiday episode, has been fantastic. I have to commend the “NCIS: Los Angeles” producing and writing team.
