Who’s Leaving ‘NCIS: Los Angeles’ in Season 10? An Investigation Into Who Dies

UPDATE (10/1/18): We now have answers for who was killed in the Season 10 premiere. Click over here for more.

ORIGINAL STORY (5/21/18):

Unlike its companion series NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles didn’t say goodbye to any major characters in the Season 9 finale. They did, however, end on a major cliffhanger that alluded to some potential goodbyes when the show returns next fall.

Fans of the series were left wondering about the fate of four main characters after their car was hit with a missile, followed quickly by a “To Be Continued” title card and credits. The back-to-back finale episodes of “A Line in the Sand” and “Ninguna Salida” saw the team taking to the desert to help save Mosley’s (Nia Long) son. But as is often the case in this franchise, things didn’t exactly go to plan.

Prior to the episode, showrunner R. Scott Gemmill told TV Insider, “Callen made a pledge to Mosley to find her son. He’s a man of his word — even if it kills him. They’re a fractured team heading to Mexico, and it takes a deadly turn early. Finding Mosley’s son and getting him back to his mother are two very different things.”

So what could this mean for next season? We’re taking a look at some of the characters that are in the greatest jeopardy.

Marty Deeks

Eric Christian Olsen‘s character has been hinting at wanting to leave behind his dangerous life, so he’s one of the top names on this list. Oh, and he was also in the aforementioned burning car. When they geared up to save Mosley’s son, Deeks even followed Kensi (Daniela Ruah) there despite wanting to be done — could it be his last mission? Yet one of the only details which would make his death confusing is the impending wedding between him and Kensi. After all this time, it would be a hard pill to swallow.

Kensi Blye

One of the passengers in the car struck by a missile, Kensi’s life hangs in the balance just as much as fiancé Deeks. There could be more than one casualty, but we have our doubts. Still, a burning car is still a burning car.

Harley Hidoko

Actress Andrea Bordeaux left a message to fans on social media hinting that this is the end of the line for her character — it’s believed that the character’s body was lit on fire — but you can judge for yourself. The caption from Instagram reads:

“Tonight is the season 9 finale of @ncisla and I just wanted to take a moment to say how grateful, humbled and honored I’ve been to be a part of this show. Thank you so much to the amazing cast and #thebestcrewinhollywood. Thank you to every director. Thank you to the service men and women who work in various positions on the show, whether as background or as our tactical experts. You make me proud to play a Marine. Thank you to the producers for giving me my big break. Thank you @cbstv. Thank you to all of the fans who have been so kind and supportive. I read every tweet, comment, DM, etc.”

G. Callen

Though he’s one of the original characters on the series, Callen (Chris O’Donnell) was still one of the passengers at the end of the episode, so his fate remains in jeopardy. Despite that predicament, it’s hard to believe that these could be his final moments.

 

Sam Hanna

Like his co-star above, it’s doubtful that LL Cool J‘s Sam would perish in this car explosion. But a definite answer won’t be known until next season.

Here’s to hoping your favorites make it out alive, it’s definitely a roll of the dice when it comes to their fate this time around.

    If "Deeks" leaves, them so do I. Why couldn't Mosley have been hit by a missile? I hate her character, and Nia Long's too broad awful performance has not helped matters. They have ruined the chemistry of the show, and without Eric Christian Olsen, they will have lost this fan.

    They are making a farce out of Ncis! Mosely could never act this way as assistent director of ncis! You can Ask But not demand your teem for your personal help. Yet lone,firing Deeks for someone not thinking of you as God! Writers This is the worst written show that I have ever seen on NCIS.If Mosely continues on this role,I will stop watchig this show!!!

      Funny I just sent the same feedback on the CBS site a few days ago. Her dialogue is horrible as is the acting. She does not appear to be an Asst director. A four year old child throwing a tantrum yes. But after Linda Hunt, Rocky Carroll and the late Mr Ferrer, she just doesn't hold up To them in any form. I stopped watching two year ago but came back for the finale. I was just shocked at horrible dialogue and screen presence.

      When Mosely showed up in season 9, I suspected that here role was the same as 7of9's in Voyager: In Voyager, some managers decided that putting an annorexic looking blonde into the show would fix any problems with viewing rates. Mosely looks different, but here role is the same.

      She fired Deeks for narcissistic reasons, and some people with power are like that. If someone is put in a powerful position, but is psychologically unfit for it, this is what may happen. Normally, this kind of snotty boss is the type of boss you leave. I do like Kensi, but in this situation she was wrong not to join Deeks, given the kind of boss she has to tolerate.

      I'm sorry, did you honestly refer to Jeri Ryan as anorexic looking?? A woman who is 36D-26-36, and who had a corset built into her suits to emphasize her hourglass figure? You clearly have a distorted view of what anorexia looks like.

      Pity, because I agree in general about your assessment of Mosley's psychological fitness to lead, but you really weakened your argument starting it the way you did. Mosley was not there for eye candy - she was there as a foil for Callen to begin with, and then later Hetty and Deeks.

      In the last episode of Season 9, at the end, Mosley gets off a helicopter, trying to (sic!) run towards her son. In that moment, in a situation that could have easily turned into a combat situation, in a situation that she knew could turn into a combat situation, she was wearing high heels trying to run to her son as fast as possible. Kensi wouldn't have needed half the time Mosely needed to run the same distance in a dangerous situation. Either Mosely's role is to be careless to the point of stupid, or she is, at least to some degree, the 7of9 of NCIS.

      According to some making-of, Jery Ryan got serious issues due to the suit they forced her into, like not being able to breathe properly and passing out once or twice. The goal was obviously to make her look in a certain way that was incompatible with her.

      RedElephant

      Okay, can't argue with the point about Mosley's heels there (I'm sure the writers would just say she was a hyper-concerned mother who left without thinking about her wardrobe or some such rubbish), but we'll have to agree to disagree about her being cast as eye candy, which was one of the primary purposes of 7 of 9. (that and being a Spock-like character for Janeway to interact with)

      As for the suit causing her to pass out, yeah, that was her full Borg outfit, which had a high-necked collar, which she said pressed on her carotid whenever she turned her head, causing her to get light headed. Someone finally noticed and they cut slits in it to help. There was also reportedly one instance where she was given oxygen due to the corset, after which they loosened it a bit.

      She hated the corset, but didn't mind the way it made her look, although it did limit her movements (and took time to get out of to use the bathroom) And it wasn't something that they did to her without her knowledge or approval - she knew.

      And I still don't know how you could use the term anorexic about her, but I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree on that one as well. Have a good one.

      I was half expecting her to get shot by a sniper, then they suddenly had a kid to extract that doesn't have a family, which has now become an NCIS problem because she drove the whole branch to go rogue. Which would have been a much stronger storyline, and storyline starter for more conflict with the father and his allies, and the government again (even though they really exhausted that storyline a season or so ago) than anything that's happened this season.

      During the time after, in the next season, Deeks and Kenzie mend fences and, just maybe, adopt the boy by the end of it. They spent a stupid amount of time a few episodes on Kenzie buckling to Deeks buying a bar (a horrible, run down, bar) to have them end like this. Well, unless my theory about CBS not giving a crap about their shows, which has had lots of evidence from the way most of them ended (only MacGyver really had a decent, proper finale), holds up.

      I know they replied already, but Mosley wasn't so much eye candy, and that was maybe misspoke (?), but Nia Long being cast was certainly an "eyecandy" move in the way that she's instantly recognizable, even if you don't know her name; a total "hey, it's that lady/guy" thing. She's been in so much that her showing up in this capacity on the show was certainly trying for a bump of some sort. The season as a whole was so generally bad, that's the only reason I can scrape up for her inclusion.

      2

    8. P

      PurpleAnchor

      This season was bad in pretty much every possible way. The writing was an absolute sloppy mess, and the way it ended really drove it home.

      The way they treated Hidoko in the last 2 episodes (she wasn't in the first, and they shouldn't have even bothered writing her bagged headed body into the second) was a travesty, especially for maybe the only solid, and likable, new character they've brought into the series in a long time; for her to go down like a chump like that was, well, one of the stupidest pieces of writing I've seen all year.

      All of Mosely's decisions through the final 2 episodes and how the entire team (including Deeks) enabled her, when they (or Hetty) should have gone over her head, were mind-boggling.

      The whole season rested on the shoulders of Mosely pretty much putting her hands on her waist and proclaiming "because I said so" at the near-top of her lungs every possible second, like a mother who has absolutely no clue why she's even yelling anymore, and everyone walking awkwardly on eggshells to appease her.

      I'm also getting sort of tired with this show, and New Orleans, dancing around the fact that these are two branches of a larger body that has a director that we literally see almost every week on the show based on the headquarter branch of the organization. Vance is there, we know he exist and isn't just a voice on a phone, why is no one calling him in on the BS of either of these shows (other than the obvious "call the boss" move being weak TV)? How many times does a head of branch have to go rogue before he gets involved? How many times do we have to hear "well, the director really isn't happy about this" from an actor who may as well have just gotten their SAG card, before he hops a plane and drops a hammer down? It's absolutely nuts.

      Ending it on the weak and barely there storyline of her and her son just showed that, aside from getting Hetty back, pretty much nothing happened this season to really prop up a good finish.

      But this has been CBS this season. Every show on the network has been a lazy mess that either ended with a sloppy, hamfisted, thud, simply because they needed to end the season *somehow*, or simply ended without much of any fanfare, advertising or even cliffhanger to suggest the season was ending. It's like (at least) half way through the season CBS just gave up, and instead of doing something about it, they simply shrugged. If it's sports, great they'll waste hours knocking it out of the park to rake in the dollars, but eff even attempting to try well written scripted television any more, not when other networks are already doing it better(?). I don't know, at the end of the day something tells me they shouldn't be trying to split their focus between the network and their streaming service; they obviously can't handle it.

      I am also hoping Nia Long is given the boot. Good actress - but not in this platform😩. Absolutely horrible. Needs to stick to what she does best.
      As for the others, we know how producers can make you believe someone is dead only to resurrect - no bring them back into the game. As for the regulars, honestly, I’ve had it with Deeks. He has drooled after Kensi since he first appeared on the show......sickening how he followed her around for seasons and when they finally got together they acted weird about it - ugh - high school nonsense. I depicted Kensi a bit above him I guess and thought someone else would come along and be a great match for her. Deeks whines continually and wants out, ignoring the fact Kensi truly loves her job - hence the reason she would not get on the chopper with Mosley. I don’t know. Many may disagree, but I won’t miss Deeks. If Kensi leaves he probably will too or be a pain in the butt indefinitely! Oh well, time will tell - sitting on pins and needles!

      OrangeScissors

      I'm kind of with you re Deeks, except that I really liked his integrity in the season finale episodes. Probably the most I have liked his character all series! I think I would miss some of his lightheartedness and fun, but definitely feel like there had started to be 'too much Deeks' (and too much Densi) so of all of them, he's the one I could stand to lose the most.
      If the other three get killed off, especially Callen, I don't think i would watch again, the team wouldn't have that 'pull' for me. Callen is the best character on the entire show, his partnership with Sam is awesome, and I love that Kensi is a proper kick-ass girl, well able to hold her own, doesn't need the men to fight her battles for her. I think some of the Densi stuff has done her a dis-service tbh, like she's only any good as half as a pair, and she's so much more than that!

    Mosley had better go. I have not like her from day one and this last show was the end. She shown she is not capable of being the director I am not alone in this feeling. She is just to arrogant and does not fit in. I will wait and see. This has been one of my favorite shows.

    1. O

      OliveRadio

      Mosley may be capable when not emotionally & genetically attached, & it appeared earlier on she had Callen's backing, which can't exactly hurt.

      However, even if she did fit in, they no longer need her with Hetty back & the addition of Hidoko (who could be used to fill the hole left by Miguel/"Granger").

    2. R

      RedPalmtree

      They don’t know and are hoping she is alive. Everything thing they presented suggested she is dead. Until this article showed the tweets by the actress, I believed all of the circumstantial evidence they put in the episode were to mislead the viewers

    3. O

      OliveRadio

      "Everything thing they presented suggested she is dead"... Did we even watch the same show?! That is true of some things, but to say "everything they presented" pointed that way is NCIS BS.

    4. R

      RedPalmtree

      Let’s see. They don’t show Hidoko for nearly the entire episode. They don’t use a gender pronoun when bury the person in the hood. Hidoko doesn’t check in or meet the team. When they go to where her transceiver is, they find the ashes of the remains of the person who was burned. Hetty’s contact tells them that if they don’t leave, they will end up like their friend. They presented NOTHING to suggest she is alive. That doesn’t mean she IS dead but, the show went out of its way to imply she died without providing verification. Generally, when a show does things like how NCIS did in this episode, I assume the character DIDN’T die because this show is notorious for using misdirection. The only reason I think it is possible they killed her off is because of the tweets from the office.

    I'm a fan of all the NCIS shows. My fav is NCIS Los Angeles. If the main characters are gone I am as well. They can get rid of Mosley and I wouldn't shed a tear. I don't think she contributes to the team or the story line. Since she came onto the show it has been difficult to watch. I find myself watching this show last on the DVR list. In the past it was the first. I hope the producers smarten up and do the right thing. If they don't do the right thing I will stop watching!!!!!

      I sure hope your theory happens! Hidoko was starting to grow on me. She started acting like a member of the team, backing them regardless of the fall-out from Mosley. I was hoping that Mosley would have blown up....lol. She has irritated me from her first episode. I won't be sad if she doesn't return next season .

    This year's writing and story lines are convoluted, poorly written and conceived. The Mosely character has been a huge distraction and Nia Long continues with the worst performances on TV. Couldn't even finish watching the first hour. That's it for me.

    RedCupcake

    For one thing, what a horrible thing to do to Hidoko's character. She was barely seen in the entire episode. And in the scene in Mexico in which "someone" was burned to death, that person was hooded, and the tongue apparently cut out so s/he couldn't say anything. But the bad guys didn't say anything about the person being a woman. I would think they would mention that to their boss.

    Secondly, I'm a bit surprised that Mosely let herself get tunnelvision, making her so completely blind to everything other than what she wanted. Yes, I realize that she was trying to get her son back (I know a mother would move heaven and earth to do that), but it's not like her child was just kidnapped that morning, or that he was in extreme danger. He'd been gone for a few years, and was apparently living a privileged life. Waiting a few days or a week to come up with a solid plan with adequate support would not have been extreme. Also,in reality, I'm not sure that at his young age, the boy would recognize his mother, and might even have wanted to stay with his father, where he felt comfortable, rather than the woman who "sent people" to take him away from the only home he'd known since he was very little.

  11. R

    RedPalmtree

    I have a difficult time believing Sam or Callen are leaving. I doubt Kensi or Deeks are leaving but, I think the show could survive without them (although I like both characters and think it would hurt the show's chemistry). Until I read this article and saw Andrea Bordeaux 's comments, I was 50-50 about Hidoko leaving. They seemed to do a LOT of hinting during the episode that she was the one who was burned without ever confirming it (they haven't gotten the DNA tests back yet, either) making me suspect it could be a "fake out". The comments by the actress make it seem like she is dead. That would be a shame because I like the character. The ONLY character I want to leave is Mosley.

    1. O

      OliveRadio

      I especially doubt either member of "Densi" is leaving... "Nell" did an interview earlier this season wherein she mentioned Daniela's "compound"/trailer, which I doubt they would have provided if she were on her way out. Likewise, Deeks' Hetty firing & IA investigation are both over, & he would be the second partner lost by the same member of the group.

      Lastly, I disagree on the hinting about Hidoko. I recall specific lines by both the duo in Ops & Sam/Callen leaning towards it NOT being her whose bones were found.

    2. R

      RedPalmtree

      Pretty much everything they said hinted it was Hidoko that was burned. Add to that, the guy Hetty sent them to suggested she was dead as well

      1

    3. O

      OliveRadio

      I don't recall him saying anything sure either way. Also, Ops asked if it was her, & either Sam or Callen immediately said, "We're not sure" or "We can't be sure" before the other said anything.

  12. G

    GreenPalmtree

    The character of Moseley simply hasn’t gelled. Obviously they had to replace Owen Granger, RIP Miguel Ferrer, and let’s suppose that with a few tweaks some of the dialogue in recent episodes would have worked for the Granger character, given his history and his standing with the team, a generous assumption but go with it. However coming from Moseley, someone without that history or that bond with the team, it just comes across as a character who is pushy, shallow and entitled.

    Just to prove they can get it right the Harley Hidoko character was handled much better. Shown as both loyal to Moseley and willing to accept she had to earn the acceptance of the team she came across with the right mixture of toughness and vulnerability. Not an easy mark to hit

  13. R

    RedTurtle

    TPTB have brought in really obnoxious 'new' characters through the seasons but thankfully they didn't last long. Granger was the worst until Mosley came along, can't stand the actress or the character. I started watching because of Hunt & LL Cool J. I came to like Deeks & Kensi. But if Nia Long is in more than 2 episodes next season I'm done. This last season I just muted the TV when Mosley came on the screen.

    Mosley's son was taken 5 years ago. This couldn't be the first time she came close to finding him. Did she act the same way, losing control and objectivity, the other times she had a lead on her son's location?

    Mosley: Callen, I want your help in finding my son. Callen, why did you tell your team about my son? She wants help in finding her son but she doesn't tell anyone her son is missing? How does that make sense?

    She wanted Callen to go alone into a gun dealer's home to get her son out. A home that is guard by the local police, the federal police, the gun dealer's private security and dozen of miles of empty space between the town and the dealer's home monitored by cameras, heat sensors and motion detectors.

    Callen! By himself. Without backup. No team. No support by the geek twins. Only because Callen said he would help her? And in the middle of this she comes to her senses and realizes she still doesn't like Deeks and fires him.

    Hettie and Callen goes out on their own but they made sure they had backup at some point.

    Worse NCIS: LA episode.

    The only one who could rescue them (if they are alive) is Mosley. May be her heli is a gunship and rushes back and shoots up all the evil guys dead. That is the only way her out of control character could be rescued.

    1. O

      OliveRadio

      Three sentences, within which you manage to contradict yourself... Are you referring to saving her character (not in danger at season's end) or her character saving the rest of the team, which would mean going back to a dangerous place with lives in jeopardy when she & her son were on their way safely home?

  18. R

    RedPlane

    The show has slid down for a long time. They spend too much time making Sam look like a superman. His character has always been too cocky and "too cool". Like the CSI franchise that had 3 versions, the NCIS franchise has the original that is good, the Miami/Los Angeles version that is ridiculous in it's portrayal of characters and the New Orleans/New York version that has the lead character being a super humanitarian that constantly risks it all to save his city. Come on folks, when you stray too far from the original recipe, you ruin the meal.

    Unless my eyes played tricks on me, I could have sworn I saw Kensi standing up with her eyes open in the aftermath. If I am right, then she is safe; can't see the two main characters....G and Sam.....leaving. If so, it will be one of the best kept secrets in TV history. Deeks? Maybe.....setting it up like it could be a thing....we shall see. And yeah, I think the tweet by Bordeaux, plus all the rhetoric about her being dead, gives up a pretty good indication she's gone. And I'm with a lot of you in that they just brought a totally unlikeable character in Moseley. They may have to write her out to save the show.

    Mosley acted irresponsible and selfish just to make her wish come true. Personal matters shouldn't put the team at risk like she did . Seems that is over, sad very sad ...really unexpected and disappointed end. Did not like Mosely from the beginning, she only brought tremendous tragedy to the entire team , including Hidoko with that horrible death, so selfish Mosley, after all her son was living well, not danger at all.

    OliveTooth

    First of all, if Sam, Callen, Deeks and Kensi are all dead....so is NCIS LA. There is no way all 4 are going to be killed off and another "new team" be installed. If that should happen and I don't think it will, viewership will drop significantly and that will be the end of the show. I like the theory where Agent Hidoko may be the key and get them all out safely. However, they would have burns, etc but are at least alive. The first episode of the Fall series will show the ending of the finale and then Hidoko or someone else pull them out and drag them to a clearing, call for help and be flown out by helicopter to the closest hospital where we will see them undergoing treatment and will be told they are lucky to be alive and will have to remain there for a few weeks. Week 2, will show them still in the hospital but a case will come up where Heddy will get a backup team, along with Eric, to handle some minor incident. In week 3, we should see the 4 of them leaving the hospital and put on desk duty but that won't last long as none of them can sit still long enough and want to get back out in the field. Hopefully, this season will be minus Mosley as she is a downer and doesn't contribute anything to the show.

    Mosley will leave because she will not be able to handle losing Hidoko because of her self-centeredness, and now has what she came for, her son Derrick. Still, Daddy Bad Guy is likely still alive and may come after her and the boy, so she will have to hide.

    Turk will come and save the Fearless Four.

      She eill only lose Hidoko if Hidoko is dead or Mosely leaves, so if Hidoko is proven to be alive, losing her will immediately not be any (let alone THE) reason for Mosely to leave.

      Perhaps my least-favorite part was the whole thing with getting him back/away from the father... Reminded me almost verbatim of an episode where they helped a mother do the exact same thing (may have been the pilot of the show).

      andrea Bordeaux confirmed that she is gone from the show, graciously thanking them for the opportunity, so she is dead...Ergo one of the reasons Mosley will likely leave. Also, the team doesn't like her and she doesn't like them. She has been disrespectful and a horrible 'boss'. NO EXCUSES!

      Good riddance...Didn't like the character. A shame Hidoko is gone. Liked her character.

      I don't buy Bordeaux's farewell post. LL Cool J did the same 3 years ago after the 6x16 episode, when Sam was shot. Looks like a misdirection.

    I can't believe, I actually lost sleep over this ending and have given this WAYYYYYYYYY too much thought... lol. It was that perplexing.

    I clearly remember the guys surrounding the hooded person, refer to the individual as a "they" and not a "she." That makes me think it was NOT Hidoko that was burned. However, just by chance, if it was, let me go on record and say, that was a most horrific way to end someone's role/life on television. A simple shooting would have sufficed. I did also take note, that the hands of the person burnt was hidden inside the sleeves and taped.... Hmmmmm... Why? It also made no sense why Hidoko would quickly leave her hotel room without taking anything with her or communicating with anyone. If she was snatched from her hotel room, they would have known who she was working for, and wouldn't have needed to ask.

    I saw in another comment that someone suggested that Mosely somehow circled back to save the crew. I was kind of thinking along those lines. I think she got her son safely down and circled back as she's done in previous episodes. Surely, as tactical as she was in getting to that location with a helicopter, just in time, she had to have something else in the works.

    With regards to the missile and the car on fire, if ANY survived that, it would be a bunch of B.S., but we know this is all make believe (fiction), and in fiction, surely they could all survive a blown up, burning car that flipped over a few time, like no other. Any surviving that would cause the show to lose credibility... And let's not forget, Sam JUST left from having major surgery for a bullet piercing a major artery, that he didn't have any anesthesia for... lol... (yeah, incredible).

    My prediction: Some drone is going to come along and take out all of the Mexican cartel/ police officers before they could get a chance to go to the car and finish off the miraculously surviving members... or/and the guy who provided the horses, saying he wouldn't help, is going to turn out to be the hero.

    The only character I think is in "real" danger is Deeks. He was fired under bogus circumstances by his terrible boss who, if Deeks dies in that fire, will have a lot of guilt -- and charges-- to live with. Kensey was being horrible to Deeks -- loving the job way more than him. She, too, would have a lifetime of regret. Do I want Deeks to die? No. Do I think it might be too tempting for scriptwriters to pass up? Possibly.

      She wasn't being that bad to him. Even of she was loving the job more than him (which I disagree on), it was only through the job she ever met him. Also, Mosley didn't know Deeks (not part of the team at their departure time) had gone with them anyway, even though she certainly knew he was not part of the team at that time. (I often think I recall him signing papers to leave LAPD for NCIS, especially after the IA murder investigation.)

    Mosley has screwed up the chemestry of the show. The reason she hints at for her reason of assignment is to tear up the team. This would have had to come from Vance. He has been on location for this team and knows from reports that they get the job done. He also knows this team works on unique high priority problems, which is the premise of this team. So it's no surprise they get messy when confronted with high energy bad guys. Vance wouldn't split up a working team that has cost a lot of time and money to set up and has a good track record of accomplishment. I don't understand why Callen hasn't called Vance and asked what is going on. Callen has gone around upper management before. I feel depressed watching Mosley repressive actions.

    The only one that should leave is Mosley. There hasn't been any NCIS LA pics of Eric on social media. If he is no longer on the show, then I won't watch anymore. It's not enough they ruin NCIS, now they are going to potentially ruin NCIS LA?

    If Mosley comes back, I'll probably quit watching the show. Her character has taken over the show. She acts like a 3 year old having a temper tantrum. I hope I never see her again!

    Although she was Mosley's snitch, Hidoku was just strating to grow on me.

    The simplest outcome :
    Callen-A bit shaken and weary.Focused on settling down with someone.I would like to see him and anna make a real attempt at having a relationship.
    Sam-Sam might be shaken.Or maybe he might be the one who falls.Sam was shot and they kept focusing on his injury.
    Kensi-Focused on her relationship.
    Deeks-Retires and opens his bar.
    Mosley-If sam is killed in the operation to save her son,it may be the catalyst for her removal.

    I think It Deeks I dont he dies. I think he just quits like being a lawyer he quit. I think Kensi Callen and Sam are the three least to go. I think Mosley know knows something bout Deeks that the rest. Remember she doesnt have a choice right now. but i think mosley qwill be relieved and investigated i can see beginning start of the next season. I think Nate show up with reforcements.

      I disagree. LL Cool J is a very very good actor.😊

    Sam seemed astounded he got shot. Maybe it set him to thinking it would be a good time to leave.

    Mosley told the group waiting at the bridge that the team of 4 was on there way and had them stationed at the bridge to take them out and silence everyone who knew what was going on that was on the ground. With all 4 presumably dead she gets away free and clear. If you recall, Hetty and Mosely talked about "dirty Laundry" before the mission and it was a chess game between the two until the plane left the ground. Mosley orchestrated the silencing of the group so she wasn't subject to an internal investigation. As far as anyone was concerned they were rouge agents not authorized to be there. Hidoko is most likely alive but I think Mosley set her up as well to take the fall if it all went south.

    The show was awesome and i love everyone on it R.I.P to Hidoko and the rest of the cast. Their deaths will make great story lines in Season 10

    Why do you have to ruin a good thing. You are going to lose a lot of faithful followers. I will be one of them. #nicewhileitlasted

    I don't agree with the claim that Deeks' impending wedding would make his death confusing. After all, he proposed to Kensi a TON of times while she was in rehab before the Sabatino issues, none of which she accepted, but which she followed by proposing to him & him accepting. Also, I think he (like many characters & viewers all season) saw Mosely (& Hidoko?) as a fill-in while Hetty was overseas, & (almost?) needless once Hetty was back. Therefore, he ironically defied her dismissal to help save her son so she'd have no choice be to reacquire him.

    All I know for Kensi is I can see near-predictable TV-writing-style irony in her fighting Deeks' insistence she go, as well as her insistence "we stay together" (though I think she mean the team, which he was not technically part of at the time), & then dying in the trip... Not to mention also surviving being under a helicopter but a death involving a land-only mode of transport.

    I feel safe ruling-out Sam's death after he already saved his son (with the rest of the team) at the academy & lost his TV wife, not to mention fighting everyone to go on the mission.

    I don't really see Callen leaving without his ("as-close-to-a-son") workplace "Mom", Hetty, is back via the team & in her office (or Mosely's before Mosely gets back)... Unless Chris is staying off-camera & moving to crew as a producer/director.

      If Deeks of Kensi dies so does the "Densi" franchise. That would be it for the show

      I believe you meant "Deeks OR Kensi"... Regardless, that would be it for some fans, but parts of the "NCIS" franchise are not meant for "shippers". The show would still keep some fans (like me), many of whom (including me) hate the concentration on the romantic relationships (perhaps they were trying to break it even by having "Densi" finalize the engagement but end the life of Sam's wife & fellow federal employee). Also, they may regain some they lost when they started that & even started hinting at the Ops duo having a personal relationship.
