UPDATE!
The spoilers and teasers have continued to flow fast and furious. It has been revealed the premiere will begin exactly where the finale ended, which possibly includes more bad news for the already-tortured Sam and Deeks. While released set photos show their eventual rescue, the “when” and “how” remain a mystery. In viewing the promo carefully it appears Michelle shoots the still-captured Deeks! What would force her to take such an action? Apparently, viewers will also be treated to a motorcycle chase!
During the recovery phase the now-spoken conflict between Sam and Deeks is addressed. Is this the first step on their path to reconciliation or only another interaction further dividing the team members?
Of course the issue of the “Densi Kiss” must be addressed. That occurrence in addition to the harrowing recent events endured by the entire team will have an expected impact on both Kensi and Deeks. How will they deal these events individually, as partners, and as possibly something more? Again Eric Christian Olsen hints, “It’s one of the few times Deeks is able to… say exactly what he means.” TVGuide.com In considering the direction season 5 is likely to take, these words may likely not result in the happy outcome many viewers are seeking.
Creator Shane Brennan divulged the premiere episode will occur over the course of weeks. How will time affect how each member separately and collectively emerge from their most damaging case to date? In the end, the intensity of the show will be maintained as Eric Christian Olsen discloses even the premiere will provide its own cliffhanger!

OMG, 3 days to go. I’m a nervous wreck. All I want is for Deeks to be better and for he and Kensi to get together. But it seems like that is not to be from all the spoilers we’ve been getting. I don’t like that they have been split up as partners and I really hope that it’s not one of them leaving the show at the end of the season. Daniela can be a working mom – lots of us have done it. NCIS LA would really not be the same without either of them.
It is a worry. Messing with a working formula. I don’t understand why “they” always seem to do it.
It’s not as if they have a choice about messing with a formula. DR is entitled to maternity leave, and she should make the most of it.
But this might be an opportunity to explore the dynamics of Deeks and Kensi as individuals. Just my opinion, but I think that Deeks needs Kensi to keep him grounded, and if she is away, he could go to a very dark place (think Max Gentry on evil steroids). Deeks has a very troubled side of his personality, and especially after what he went through at the end of season 4, this is a perfect time to explore that. I have no doubt that if that’s the direction the show runners choose to go, that ECO would absolutely rock those scenes.
Unfortunately we do not really know what to think, and frankly I do not care anymore, we are in the finishing straight when I think of the spoiler crazy , keep in mind that journalists disclose a bit what they want and in my confused ideas about it, hang in If parts of speeches of the actors and make them public and then go ahead …… the imagination of viewers.
For example Deeks totally changed by the trauma ? it might be but it would not be Deeks , end of fun and interaction with the rest of the team show ruined in my opinion, certainly a little shaken but then recovers , leaves at the end of the season? but they may be wasted three years to build the couple Dense .
Sam and Callen that leave ? unlikely without them it would not be NCIS LA.
Kensi that leave us? Deeks same speech three years wasted, although reverting to an episode of the fourth season we remember that Granger tells her to think about her future career , but also tells him Hatty for that matter , even in the second season , and then what sense would have the letter that the charismatic leader sends Deeks , giving consent to start something with Kensi if he in fact is not in the thoughts of the authors let them start a relationship , albeit troubled ?
There are twins in technology, when Hetty was recovering after two season , Sam and Callen see the little one run around like a mad woman burdened with commitments , and are wondering if the Hatty is testing and is preparing for something … its succession ?
Eric …. I do not know what to say
Remain Hatty could leave , though , without a leader so charismatic , the show would lose a lot.
And finally let’s not forget that Nate as announced reappears to help Sam and Deeks .
Having said that DR is pregnant , definitely get to the end of the season will be visible then the belly or send undercover for months, or in some way away ….. or something happens between her and Deeks .
Finally, according to spoilers reappears and reappears Jack,and Deeks mom , too many things to analyze.
Time will tell .
Forget the spoilers and give us the unknown ! !
