Peter Cambor Returns to ‘NCIS: LA’ — What Brings Nate Back? (PHOTOS)
Peter Cambor is back on NCIS: Los Angeles! But why has Operational Psychologist Nate Getz returned?
In the March 13 episode, “All the Little Things,” CBS teases, he “meets with Admiral Kilbride [Gerald McRaney] and learns about the CIA project from the ’70s and ’80s involving children.” So might Special Agent G. Callen (Chris O’Donnell) be the reason Nate’s back now?
As you’ll recall, this season began with Callen digging into his past, breaking into Hetty Lange’s (Linda Hunt) files and finding one on Subject 17, who sounded a lot like him. He, like other foster kids, were put through cognitive tests, psychologically profiled and screened, like a junior version of the CIA’s selection process. Did Hetty run that program and know Callen much longer than he thought? She confirmed he was Subject 17. A flashback at the end of the premiere showed a younger Callen watching something on a projector, while he read his file: “The subject shows an exceptional memory. Given the proper opportunity and education, there’s no telling what he could achieve.”
When NCIS: LA premiered, Cambor was a series regular before he left in Season 2. He has since returned for quite a few guest spots, with his last coming in Season 8’s “Old Tricks.”
As for the case in this episode, when a newborn child is found abandoned on a Navy ship, Special Agent Kensi Blye (Daniela Ruah) and Investigator Marty Deeks (Eric Christian Olsen) look for a mother onboard a Navy ship before she dies of complications.

And where has Anna been for most of this season? I guess she and Callen are back on speaking terms. Love that Nate is back in an episode!

Been wanting to see him again for a long time!!
And based off the guest list for this episode, I think a Hetty update is coming!! (and yes, I'm definitely thinking that pic of Callen with the phone is a distress call about Hetty)

I want to know why they have forgotten that Deeks left LAPD, joined NCIS and went to and completed FLETC? So he is a NCIS Special Agent, not an investigator.

They didn't forget. He went to FLETC and became an NCIS investigator. They haven't explained why he's only an investigator on the show but my theory is that they agreed to waive the age limit but only to be an NCIS investigator instead of agent.
Deeks previous rank and position at LAPD was Detective

Yeah, his NCIS badge when he got it says Investigator

It's also been a while since Callen sent Zasha to track down and report back on Hetty. He told her it wouldn't take long. Still waiting...
