NCIS: LA Recap: Did Kensi Manage to Escape?
LA, she was in a very precarious position: seemingly about to get her leg sawed off by her onetime therapy buddy Sullivan, aka CIA Agent Ferris (Kurt Yaeger).
[...] though the pieces of her story aren't exactly fitting together, everyone accepts it at face value except for Hetty (Linda Hunt), who confronts Joelle and gets her to admit that she's actually a CIA officer, and was lying to Callen the whole time.
The guard is pretty ineffective, however, as a would-be assassin manages to sneak into Granger's room, and he shoots her right as she's about to inject something into his medical bag.
(The show is planning to pay tribute to Ferrer, who died last month, in an upcoming episode.) In the meantime, Hetty has enlisted the help of retired Admiral A.J. Chegwidden (John M. Jackson) to help clean up the mess left behind by this CIA brouhaha.
(He gets off to a great start, whacking Joelle in the back of the head as she's pointing a gun at Hetty.) Might he be a permanent replacement for Granger?
Callen is left sawing away at his dining room table as he tries to process Joelle's betrayal.
