NCIS: Los Angeles season 9: One Densi bump in the road
Well, some of that depends on how you define “hard times.” The good news is that these two characters are very much engaged after the super-sweet proposal scene that we witnessed at the end of this past season. That’s not changing, so take a deep breath if you’re one of the fans that are super-worried about whether or not the show is going to reverse course on that.
However, you also shouldn’t expect the relationship to be suddenly smooth sailing either. Every relationship has some bumps in the road along the way, and we also absolutely imagine that this one will, as well. What’s one of the biggest ones? Well, think for a minute in terms of getting the entire family involved. While being engaged should be a happy, celebratory affair, Deeks for whatever reason may have a little bit of hesitation cluing some people in his life into what is going on. Specifically, we’re talking about his mother!
According to Entertainment Weekly, Deeks is going to be hesitant to tell his mother that they’ve made that next move to the next level and are engaged — which will probably lead to some questions and possibly tension. However, Deeks isn’t the sort of guy who really keeps secrets from the people that he cares about, so we expect him to tell her in due time.This is the sort of conflict that does tend to come up here and there in life, so we can’t say that we’re really that shocked to see it come up in the show and let’s be honest – while engagements are wonderful, there is usually some family tension that pops up when planning a wedding. Everyone has best intentions when giving their input on where to have it, what colors to choose and who is invited, but it can become a bit frustrating leading up to the big day. More than anything, Deeks does have to trust his family and the relationships that he’s built, since otherwise he’s in a position where he runs the risk where everything does start to fall apart. We don’t think that’s going to happen with this show, but it is absolutely something that he needs to be aware of since he doesn’t want it to happen.
New episodes of the CBS series are going to be filming for much of the summer / fall until the spring. While it’s a little too early to say for sure that we’re going to be getting a Deeks / Kensi wedding in the near future, it is something that we’re certainly more than a little bit psyched to see whenever it does happen.
As for if there will be some other relationship conflict elsewhere, you have to think it’s possible given where we left off at the end of this past season and some of the other characters who are parts of the show’s family. While this isn’t a show about dating, the relationships here are organically the end product of everything that’s been built over the past year. That is, in turn, one of the main reasons for the series’ overall popularity.

The writers of this show have done an incredible job of developing a believable, romantic and deeply emotional relationship between Deeks and Kensi over the past 8 years. I tend to believe this level of writing is one of the reasons the show has remained popular so long. My fear is they will follow other series with cheap tricks to keep the drama level high. I hope not, because to do so would just cheapen the characters and story that they have worked so hard to develop. It is time to solidify this relationship, and show that happily ever after is obtainable.
That being said, there are a few unresolved issues from Season 8, and those revolve around Sullivan/Ferris. In episode 9 (Sirens) did Kensi go for a ride with Sullivan? He asked her, and they never showed us her answer. What did Deeks think when he saw all those empty beer bottles and Kensi wasn’t home. He knew that neither mom would leave that mess. In episode 14 (Payback), what did Kensi mean when she said she choose Deeks over Sullivan? When was such a decision made? How did she make him feel like losing a leg didn’t matter? That whole conversation sounded way too intimate.
Did Kensi cross the line with Sullivan, or come close to crossing the line? I think there are things here that will come back.

Would Deeks have an affair?

I figure the bump would be Deeks/Whiting/Bates arc that was teased S8. I really hope it happens. It could be a great story and that it leads to Deeks, M. We’ve been promised it for several seasons. I love Pamela Reed as his mom but was very disappointed how both moms (Julia and Roberta) were treated as cartoon characters in “Sirens” (terrible episode overall).
I agree, engagement is solid. But with Sam losing his wife I can see Densi keeping their news on the downlow.
And now for my obligatory: PLEASE NO MORE ANNA.
Looking forward to season 9. Wedding would be nice!
