NCIS brings back LL Cool J as Sam Hanna, and his return delivers major updates with lasting impact. No longer active with NCIS after losing his elite team, Sam has been working in Washington, D.C., fighting for change from the inside. But one case is enough to remind him where he truly belongs.
By episode’s end, Sam quits his new job, with Leon Vance making it clear the door at NCIS is always open — especially as unfinished business involving Hetty looms. Sam also shares joyful news: Callen and Anna are expecting, offering a hopeful glimpse into the NCIS: LA future.
Packed with intense action and emotional stakes, Sam’s return doesn’t feel like a one-off — it feels like a setup for what’s next.
