The Positively Positive

Boy do I love these kinds of episodes. An agent in trouble, left out on his own, a team trying to help but being cut off from doing so. Man, I just eat this stuff up with a spoon.

Five minutes into the episode, Callen finds out that his cover has been compromised. He immediately goes on alert, putting into action a plan that obviously has been worked out for just such a contingency. Soon he finds out that the man behind it all knows more about him than he does himself and Callen has to decide between protecting his friends and getting some information he desperately wants.

Highlights….

Cracking up at the fact that Callen’s current cover is as an insurance salesman. Well that’s one way to keep people from asking about what you do.

Sam and Kensi’s discussion about the guy who came on to her the previous night and him running the “game” on her. LOL.

Hetty ordering them to go dark when the Eric couldn’t get control of the virus, leaving Callen on his own. Whoa.

The way Callen was able to fast-talk his way through the meet with people he’d never met and acting like someone else. Damn, he’s good.

Hetty calling in Renko to give them a hand. I was wondering when he’d be making another appearance.

Sam and Callen meeting at a rally point they picked out five years ago. It’s so cool to see how much history these guys have together.

Hetty knowing that Sam had met Callen without even needing to ask. Gotta love her. She’s always at least three steps ahead of all of them.

The look between Eric and Nate when Callen’s phone started to ring and neither of them wanted to answer it. OMG that was hilarious! Loved it.

Jumping a little when Renko got hit. I forgot he had a vest on and for a second there I wondered if we were going to lose another agent. Whew.

Callen offering to take himself off the case because he can’t be sure whether his personal feelings are going to get in the way.

Eric telling Hetty that the entire NCIS agency had been compromised, and her immediately ordering Callen back on the case, personal feelings or not.

Eric telling Callen that being asked to put the virus back online was akin to committing “technological malpractice”. LOL.

Hetty pointing out to Callen that he might be losing his one chance to find out about his past if Keelson decided he’d rather die than be caught.

Eric getting a positive match on the face of Keelson, only to find that he doesn’t exist anywhere in cyberspace. Uh oh.

Callen lowering his gun when he was asked if he could live the rest of his life without knowing what “that ‘G’ stands for”…..but still being able to take the guy out when he had no other choice. Man, I can’t imagine how hard that must have been for him.

Hetty asking Callen how he felt about knowing the man who hired Keelson was still out there and his reply that he wouldn’t be able to answer that until he tracked them down.

Eric running up saying that the case wasn’t over. Aha! I had a feeling this one was going to be a two-parter. Looks like this show is following in the original NCIS footprints by having a two-part finale.

Overall an exciting episode that looks to be leading us into a very exciting first season finale.
