NCI Los Angeles returned for its 14th season this week but fan favourite character Hetty Lange played by Linda Hunt was nowhere to be see following a series of only sporadic appearances.
But that does not mean we did not get an update on what was going on with Hetty and thankfully fans who were worried that the beloved character has been killed off will be relieved to know that is not the case although the show did tease us with the possibility at first.
In the episode the team were told about a dead body that had been found in Syria which is Hetty's last known location. Eventually it was revealed that the body did have Hetty's ID attached to it, but it was actually the body of a child. In short Hetty had faked her own death.
Showrunner R Scott Gemmill confirmed that this is the foundation for Hetty's return this season, telling Variety Hetty has been an integral force within the agency and an especially important part of Callen’s past.As Callen starts thinking about his upcoming wedding to Anna, he would want Hetty present. The plan is to go and rescue her at some point and find out what she is gotten herself into in Syria but we are just trying to figure out when we can pull it off. The goal is to make it happen this season.
