Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego...I mean, Hetty Lange?
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room, or should I say the enigma in the Ops Center? Where on earth is Hetty Lange? The woman who could run a covert operation while ordering takeout, the mastermind behind countless missions, the one who made Callen question his entire existence – she’s MIA. And by MIA, I mean more absent than a Kardashian at a math convention.
Hetty: The Houdini of NCIS
Now, I know what you’re thinking. "She’s in Syria, duh." But let's be real, Syria is a big place. Like, really big. It's possible she’s found a hidden oasis, started a bed and breakfast for lost agents, or is currently negotiating a peace treaty while wearing a disguise as a camel. Any of those sound plausible? I didn't think so.
Theories Abound
There are countless theories floating around about Hetty's whereabouts. Some say she's become a deep-cover agent, infiltrating a secret society of international cat collectors. Others believe she's on a spiritual journey, seeking enlightenment in a remote Himalayan monastery. And let's not forget the conspiracy theorists who insist she's actually a time-traveling alien.
Personally, I’m leaning towards the cat collector theory. I mean, who wouldn’t want a job that involves cuddling kittens and foiling evil plots?
We Miss You, Hetty!
No matter where she is, one thing's for sure: we miss her. The NCIS Los Angeles team just isn't the same without her. It’s like trying to solve a Rubik’s cube with one hand tied behind your back. Or like trying to eat a sandwich without the bread. Yeah, it's that bad.
So, Hetty, wherever you are, please come back. We promise to buy you all the cats you want. And maybe a really good pair of noise-canceling headphones. Because let’s face it, dealing with Callen and Sam can’t be easy on the ears.
How to... Hetty Edition
While we wait for Hetty's triumphant return, let's brush up on our Hetty-isms.
- How to be mysteriously cryptic: Start every sentence with "Interesting..." and end it with a knowing smile.
- How to command a room without saying a word: Wear a powerful outfit and stare at people until they do what you want.
- How to turn a casual conversation into a covert operation: Mention a random object and see who flinches.
We can only hope that Hetty will eventually grace us with her presence again. Until then, we'll just have to keep watching NCIS LA and pretending she’s there in spirit (or at least in a really good hiding spot).
