‘NCIS: Los Angeles’ season 8: What’s next for Callen and Anna?

Bar Paly -

Mrs. Carter: Is there more love in the air for Callen and Anna on NCIS: Los Angeles?

There was a time in which we were very worried about the couple and their future on the show, mostly because of our rampant / over-paranoid fears that Anna could be the mole. Now, we’re reasonably thrilled that said fears are sated. While we’re not sure that the two will have a lot of time together when the show returns with new episodes on March 5 (watch a preview for that now here), they will have more of a chance for romance on the upcoming Sunday, March 12 installment.

Based on what we’ve heard about this episode (entitled “Queen Pin”), the two are going to be in the midst of a romantic dinner together when Hetty is going to assign the two of them a prisoner-escort mission. Consider this further evidence that crime never quite takes a break, and it doesn’t matter who you are in the process. One way or another, this is just something that you’re going to have to figure out a way to deal with if you want to be in this job!

Aside from the Callen – Anna relationship, there is one other important part of this story coming up: Callen’s usual partner Sam assuming a longstanding alter ego in order to go deep undercover. This feels almost reminiscent of what Gibbs did earlier this season in “Off the Grid,” where he was willing to put himself in danger / harm’s way in order to ensure that he was able to stop someone high on the most-wanted list.

Basically, this episode is going to have a little bit of romance mixed with an exciting case — it’s more or less everything that you could want from NCIS: Los Angeles. In the process, we still don’t quite know how Kensi and Deeks are going to be factored into all this, but we’re definitely very much excited to find out.
