Naval officers are being killed on ‘NCIS: Los Angeles’
During NCIS: Los Angeles Season 12 Episode 17 (titled “Through the Looking Glass), the team is alarmed when they learn a Naval intelligence officer was tortured and killed. Unfortunately, they find out from an old friend (CIA Officer Joelle Taylor) that other Naval officers were killed in a similar way. The murders seem to follow a pattern. They need to find out who is committing these crimes.
Kensi receives a disturbing message
In a sneak peak of episode 17, Kensi (Daniela Ruah) receives a postcard from David Kessler that says, “Welcome from beautiful Los Angeles.” He writes, “Hope there are no hard feelings; life can be too short.” Unfortunately, it seems like Kessler is in the area and he’s looking to make good on his past threat to torture and kill her.
Kessler and Kensi have history. She was responsible for putting him in jail many years ago. Her work on his case is what helped her snag a job with the Office of Special Projects. However, Kessler became obsessed with Kensi and would send disturbing messages to the Los Angeles headquarters.
During NCIS: Los Angeles Season 12 Episode 5 (titled “Raising the Dead”), Kessler threatened to come after Kensi. Hopefully, his threat doesn’t come true during episode 17. Deeks is disturbed by the situation. “Does he scare you?” he asks Kensi. “Well, he scares me,” he responds.
