NCIS: Origins Season 3, Episode 6 ‘Shot Through the Heart’ feels like it’s going to be another episode that emotionally compromises us. It could be no other way; this show is already more than halfway through the season, and we still have so many questions. So many feelings.
But seeing the present version of Gibbs interacting with Mariel Molino’s Lala? Yeah, that’s going to hurt. And will it lead Gibbs to some answers about what happened or what he thinks happened to Lala? Hopefully.
In the meantime, I guess we’re going to the beach! And Swanson is coming. Plus, Muse Watson returns as the older version of Mike Franks, and oh yes, Emily Wickersham is still around as Ellie Bishop. A lot going on.

Is the team having a beach day? With Swanson? Or are they undercover? Is it an undercover beach day? And why don’t we have even one picture of Mark Harmon with Mariel Molino? This is the real question.












Synopsis
Are we closer to answers about Lala? “Past and present collide for Gibbs (Mark Harmon) as he searches for answers about what happened to Lala all those years ago,” the synopsis promises. Plus, “In 1993, an unexpected bond forms between Franks (Mike Franks) and Lala (Mariel Molino) as the team races to expose a mole after FBI Agent Casey Bloom (Sean Harmon) is shot.” Not sure how unexpected it is, since despite the fact that they would both maybe deny it, we can already tell they like each other.
The episode was written by Noah Schechter and directed by Lionel Coleman.
