We have two different stories about Eric Christian Olsen’s character Marty Deeks’ father.
1. 2×03 Borderline
Deeks tells Kensi that the last thing his father said to him was “I hate you” right before he shot a shotgun at him which was six years ago.
2. 2×17 Personal
Hetty tells Deeks that his father – Gordon John Brandell – died in 1998 in a moto accident.
Your thoughts ??
My best theory is that part of what Deeks said in “Borderline” was true — the shotgun part, as confirmed by Hetty in “Personal” — and he just changed the timeline for whatever reason.
my thought is that he didn't feel like giving Kensi the whole story out there in the desert, and so made a thanksgiving joke out of it. But when thinking of who might want to kill him and faced with Hetty, he told the truth?
A stretch, I know. I'd be interested to see if the writers ever get back to it. They dropped a lot of interesting personal stuff (Kensi's Jack, Sam's kids…) without a lot of discussion after.
This is what I have come up with so far. If you would like to add or change anything please do
