NCIS: Origins - Who by Fire
After the season premiere brought the team back together, "Who by Fire" offers a common theme about members of the team taking chances perhaps the shouldn't. The second episode takes a longer look at the aftereffects of Lala's (Mariel Molino) car accident on both her and others while providing a case for a dead surfer on the Naval beach. Along with unexpectedly bringing back Flaco Navarro (Scotty Tovar) who has a dangerous deal for Lala, the episode is also built around Gibbs' (Austin Stowell) towards Franks (Kyle Schmid) for not allowing him to conduct an interrogation and eventually deciding to take matters into his own hands.
Although there are obviously unresolved feelings between Gibbs and Lala, "Who by Fire" does show how good Diane (Kathleen Kenny) is for Leroy both building him up and providing a safe place to admitting to his fears about washing out at NCIS. Given how strong the show has pushed a Gibbs/Lala romance, more scenes like this will help pave the way to see the pair eventually end up married. As for Lala, the final scene of the episode seems to foreshadow eventual consequences which may weigh heavy on her at some point later this season.
