‘NCIS: LA’ Boss Teases What’s Ahead for the Couples in Season 12
Fall Preview
Shake-up at the top!
In the 12th season of NCIS: Los Angeles, boss Hetty (Linda Hunt) takes off on what executive producer R. Scott Gemmill terms “a bit of a misadventure.” As a result, intelligence analyst Nell (Renée Felice Smith), who recently tried to resign, “finds herself being sucked back in.”
Hint: This may be a setup to boost Nell’s confidence, which she’ll need when a Russian strategic bomber flies close to the California coast and “the incident goes haywire,” says Gemmill. The team also tackles money laundering and revisits that finale case of the SEAL accused of war crimes.
Plus, new couple Sam (LL Cool J) and Katherine (Moon Bloodgood) — “two very guarded people who get in their own way,” Gemmill notes — move forward thanks to Kamran, his daughter in military school. The teen helps Dad open up…but they clash over her future. As for Callen (Chris O’Donnell) and love interest Anna (Bar Paly), he gets to a point “where he wants to make a commitment he never thought he would.”
Baby-minded Kensi (Daniela Ruah) and Deeks (Eric Christian Olsen) have more pressing concerns when his role at NCIS is jeopardized. “He has to take a time-out,” Gemmill says. And a past case puts Kensi in potentially season-long danger.

My biggest wishes for Season 12 are: Just don't ignore Hetty, give her happiness, and let her awesome side show again. And also quit with the useless 'talking about the future' talk, it never goes anywhere.

I think Hetty could be there via Zoom, virtually for the team. As for the couple’s I think Deeks will become an agent finally. Callens love interest, give me a break. He’s making a big mistake. Sam and Katherine, I don’t know yet, haven’t been together enough to make up my mind on that one. But don’t mess with Densi.

I dare say that this actually looks like a planned out early half instead of filler episodes all jumbled together. (course, I still have to see the episodes 1st before making a real judgement call.)
So, Hetty is basically doing what she sort of did in Season 9? (better not be another excuse to completely ignore her throughout the season.)
Really excited for what's next for all 4 of my ships!

I also dare to say that, I actually have hope for this Season to be better then S11. (as long as the writers fix their mistakes and show all the team members decent respect and don't treat any of them like 3 second afterthoughts.)
And I'm actually a bit excited for this new Season. Hopefully that feeling lasts longer then 1 episode.
