… Granger finally told Hetty about Kensi …
This week’s episode started with this intense, fast-paced, well-written, well-played scene when Nell briefed our guys…
!["Where's Hetty?" Yeah, good question !!](http://www.ncislamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/519_01-600x336.jpg)
“Where’s Hetty?“
Yeah, good question !!

!["If you need to separate Mr Deeks from the team do so." "I need you to bring her home, Sam."](http://www.ncislamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/519_04-600x336.jpg)
“If you need to separate Mr Deeks from the team do so.“
“I need you to bring her home, Sam.“
IMO it was a good call to emphasize to “single-mindedly remain focused on Agent Blye.”
!["What the hell is going on?`" "Welcome to Afghanistan, gentlemen."](http://www.ncislamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/519_05-600x336.jpg)
“What the hell is going on?“
“Welcome to Afghanistan, gentlemen.“

!["What does this have to do with Kensi?" Right. Focus guys !!](http://www.ncislamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/519_08-600x336.jpg)
“What does this have to do with Kensi?”
Right. Focus guys !!

“This mission is dark. As in ‘black as night’.“
“We’re on our own out here.“

!["I have morals."](http://www.ncislamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/519_16-600x336.jpg)
“I have morals.“
!["Jack and I were friends." Really ?? If this was a novel (or fanfic for that matter) I'd call it right away ridiculous that she knows *everyone*. Please don't get me wrong. I really LOVE Hetty... it's just a bit too much lately IMO... And yeah, a little blame should be allowed here... she sent Kensi to Afghanistan and withheld information... intentions good or bad...](http://www.ncislamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/519_17-600x336.jpg)

Phew… what an intense episode !! I loved Frank Military’s eps before but this one was… just WOW !!
I’m thinking about starting a petition to include the “Director’s Cut” version (it was mentioned they needed to cut 10 – 15 mins) on the S5 DVDs… who’s in ?? 🙂
As good as it is to know that Kensi is saved and will be back home with the guys soon I wonder how this whole Afghanistan detour will influence her (personally and work-wise) and her relationship with Deeks…
As always I like to hear from you all what you think about this episode. Good and bad !! Everyone’s entitled to an opinion as long as it’s expressed in a reasonable way. Please keep your language clean and respect the opinion of others !! Thanks !!
