Review: NCISLA “Recovery” (S5E9) – wikiDeeks | Marty Deeks
: To investigate from the inside, Kensi poses as a nutritionist while Deeks goes undercover as a patient struggling with sex addiction.
: The episode concludes with a significant shift in the "Densi" relationship. Deeks takes Kensi to a nice restaurant instead of the casual taco spot he originally suggested.
: The investigation uncovers a counselor tied to an extremist group, the Homeland Defense League . The team ultimately prevents a drone strike on a Pakistani village with only seconds to spare. The Emotional Core: "The Box" and Romantic Tension
: Coming off a season where Deeks suffered significant trauma, his undercover role at a rehab facility mirrors his internal struggle with PTSD.
While the drone plot provides the action, the episode’s true "recovery" refers to the psychological and romantic state of the characters.
