“There are changes in these relationships because of these catastrophic events,” said Eric Christian Olen, who plays Deeks. “Kensi and Deeks have one of the most heartbreaking scenes we’ve ever seen them do. It’s one of the few times that Deeks is able to… say exactly what he means.”
In the season premiere alone, the duo will have "the most honest conversation that Deeks and Kensi have ever had," Olsen told TVLine. The episode "picks up exactly where we left off, continuous - [Deeks is] mid-torture, Kensi's in peril... I can't give it away, but even that is 'To Be Continued...'"
