Another NCIS LA reference that still avoids the most important issue

The latest episode of NCIS delivered a five-way crossover. Of sorts. It was not the crossover that we wanted, but members of all five teams were mentioned.

The moment came via McGee, whose twins were having a charity drive for their school. While McGee may not be all that happy about working his network to boost sales, Kasie is. She ends up connected with the different NCIS offices around the world. Yes, world, because she mentions Mickey from NCIS: Sydney.

We learn that people from the Hawaii, New Orleans, and Los Angeles offices have also pitched in to help with the drive. Who would have thought that coffee could bring a sort-of five-way crossover.

NCIS could have mentioned Hetty in this

It is disappointing that Hetty didn’t get a mention in this whole scene. Kensi and Callen were both mentioned by Kasie. This would have been a perfect time to get an update on the search for Hetty.

After the explosion that made many believe that Hetty was dead, Nell put together a team to find her. They all knew she wasn’t really dead, just like we knew. If anyone can get out of a sticky situation like that, it’s the woman who always remained a mystery to us.

It would be great to get some sort of update on the character. How is the hunt for her going? Surely they should have found her and extracted her by now.

The only reason I could think of them wanting to keep Hetty in an unknown state is that there are still talks of an NCIS: Los Angeles movie. I’d be down for that if it meant seeing Callen and the team joining together to hunt down the woman who brought them all together and made them a family.

There is still hope that NCIS: Origins will bring in a younger version of Hetty, but that’s not the same. It still doesn’t tell us what happened to the Hetty who was left behind when NCIS: Los Angeles didn’t get the time to wrap up that storyline in full.

I get that it doesn’t make a lot of sense for Hetty to be mentioned in the flagship series. However, this would be for the fans and not for the team. We deserve some closure!
