‘NCIS: LA’ Season 12 Finale: Hetty Returns as Nell Must Decide Her Future (VIDEO)
It’s all going on in the NCIS: Los Angeles Season 12 finale: A team member is kidnapped, another has a decision to make about the future, someone shot a militarized dolphin…and Linda Hunt returns as Hetty Lange!
But what brings the operations manager back to the Office of Special Projects? And is it just a coincidence that she’s returning as Retired Navy Admiral Hollace Kilbride (Gerald McRaney) tells Nell Jones (Renée Felice Smith), who’s been filling in for Hetty, that she has to “either sign or resign”? She says she “can’t take Hetty’s position” in the promo.
Watch the video below for more from this episode, including Hetty’s return, what’s going on with the case, and that kidnapping.
In the Season 12 finale, “A Tale of Two Igors,” an associate of Anatoli Kirkin’s (Ravil Isyanov) — RIP Kirkin — kidnaps Deeks (Eric Christian Olsen) because he needs his help with something, and it can’t be anything good. (We doubt another fashion show is in Deeks’ future.) Meanwhile, the team investigates the shooting of a militarized dolphin equipped with a Russian microchip. Plus, Eric Beale (Barrett Foa) has an interesting offer for Nell. Sounds like Nell’s going to have quite the decision to make!
Scroll down to see Hetty back at OSP and the team working the case.

Nell is no Heddy! She's not at all convincing as anyone's boss.

My prediction: Nell will leave to be with Eric by the end of the hour.

I tend to agree. I would like to see them go back to normal but don’t see that happening. Nell always seemed uncomfortable in that role anyway. Bring back Heddy and maybe some new techies and let’s get back what made this show great

My guess is that Nell leaves and Callan takes over.

Hetty stay and Callen go back to be in charge for the team as it used to be.😍

I don't like him at all. He's too tepid...Hetty has it all-especially a kind of mysterious air about her...she's a "Casablanca-like" character. No one can replace her. Even though Callen and Sam are great along with the others...without Hetty they just don't 'gel'....

Oct. 18th: Although the other actors are great they seem diminished without Hetty's central and essential presence. The man who took Hetty's place just doesn't have it. He's annoying and has no charisma. May they should have different actors to replace Hetty until she returns?

Nell and Eric both back,as well as Hetty

I like the Admiral. He should stay on if Hetty leaves.
