‘NCIS: LA’ Season 14: Saving Hetty, More ‘Monster’ Killers & Densi as Parents
Fall Preview
Save Hetty! In the military drama’s Season 14 opener, intel has at last confirmed the location of the former boss lady (Linda Hunt): Syria.
“It starts off very bad for her, but eventually [the info provides] a little bit of hope,” NCIS: Los Angeles executive producer R. Scott Gemmill says. The news fires up Special Agent G. Callen (Chris O’Donnell) to go rescue his imperiled surrogate mother, despite their unresolved issues about his childhood spy training. Admiral Kilbride (Gerald McRaney) nixes the plan, though: He needs all hands on deck after terrorists set off an explosion at a facility that manufactures Navy drones.
That’s just the first big boom. Arsonists light up one episode, and those gruesome serial killers that stitch bodies together from Season 9’s “The Monster” make their return. The team also helps one of their own, Sam Hanna (LL Cool J), when son Aiden (Tye White) is wrongly accused of pilot error and may lose his military career.
Different kid-related problems face married agents Kensi Blye (Daniela Ruah) and Marty Deeks (Eric Christian Olsen) now that they’ve adopted teen Rosa (Natalia del Riego). “They’re trying to be cool but are overprotective,” says Gemmill. To the rescue: Deeks’ mom, zinger slinger Roberta (Pamela Reed).
Meanwhile, Fatima Namazi (Medalion Rahimi) improves fellow special agent Devin Roundtree’s (Caleb Castille) bad online dating profile and Callen’s skills at planning his big day with fiancée Anna Kolcheck (Bar Paly). If only Hetty were there in person! Notes Gemmill: “Her absence affects Callen as he works toward having his wedding, realizing he doesn’t really want to go through with that without her.”

Enough of no Hetty! Rescue her and move on! The show has stagnated in the last two seasons...surprising that they didn't let it go by way of NCIS:NO! Sam needs to move on and so do all the others that are basically "running in place"!

Definitely agree. Hetty is the main key to keeping this show on the right track, or in this case, getting it back on the right track!

The actors and writers need to put their personal politics aside, and realize that they're entertaining more than just California.

1 thing I do like about this article is how it perfectly points out that Hetty is definitely Callen's surrogate Mama (in it's unusual ways), and that he needs to find her quickly before the window of opportunity to forgive her closes forever.
Their eventual reunion definitely needs to be beautiful!
