NCIS: Los Angeles - Did They Really Sail Off Into the Sunset? Shacking Up with the Series Finale
Ah, NCIS: Los Angeles. The show that brought us undercover ops, questionable disguises (we see you, Sam rocking that grandma wig), and a will-they-won't-they romance that lasted longer than most marriages in Hollywood. But fear not, dear fans, because even though the curtain closed on the series finale in May 2023, there's still plenty to unpack. So, grab a donut (Deeks would approve), settle in, and let's dissect the last episode, creatively titled "New Beginnings, Part 2."
Weapons, Weddings, and a Whole Lotta Closure (well, almost)
The episode throws our favorite NCIS: LA crew headfirst into a thrilling case involving stolen military-grade weaponry. Think high-octane car chases, explosions that would make Michael Bay jealous, and enough bullets flying to rival a particularly chatty day at the shooting range. But amidst the action, there's a healthy dose of heartwarming moments.
Callen and Anna finally tie the knot in a spur-of-the-moment ceremony that's equal parts hilarious and romantic. Picture a beach wedding officiated by Granger (because, of course), with the team as their slightly dysfunctional yet supportive family.
Kensi, in a move that would make any Densi shipper squeal with delight, drops a pregnancy bomb on Deeks. Let's just say, Marty looked like he'd swallowed a whole bag of those sugary donuts he loves so much.
Sam, ever the pillar of strength, gets some glimmer of hope for his father who may be eligible for a promising Alzheimer's treatment. And Devin (because who doesn't love a good subplot?) finally sees some resolution to his legal case with the LAPD.
So, is that it? Are we left hanging?
Not quite. The beauty of the finale is that it offers closure while leaving the door open for a dash of imagination. We see the team happy, fulfilled, and ready to embark on new chapters in their lives. But where will those chapters take them? Will Callen and Anna settle into domestic bliss or get dragged back into the world of espionage? Will parenthood turn Deeks into a nervous wreck (spoiler alert: probably)? These are questions left delightfully unanswered, allowing us to craft our own happily ever afters for these beloved characters.
In essence, the NCIS: LA finale is like a warm hug from a friend. It reassures you that everything is (mostly) okay, and leaves you with a smile on your face and a heart full of fond memories.
