NCIS: Los Angeles Season Nine Rewatch: "Under Pressure"

The basics: A death using Napalm has the team looking into who used it and why.

Written by: Joe Sachs wrote “Higher Power”, “The Dragon and the Fairy”, “Drive”, “Purity”, “The Livelong Day”, “Fish Out of Water”, “The Black Wind”, “Blaze of Glory”, “Core Values”, "Seoul Man", "Parallel Resistors" and "From Havana With Love". Directed by: Diana C. Valentine who directed “Lokhay”, “Fallout”, Three Hearts”, “The 3rd Choir”, “Forest for the Trees”, “Beacon”, “Unspoken”, "Seoul Man" and "Crazy Train".

Guest stars of note: Tara Robinson as Amanda Delgado, Sean O'Bryan as Gavin Teed, Lori Rom as Tracey Delgado, Takayo Fischer as Martha Adams, Herve Clermont as Fire Captain Dannaker, Jake B. Miller as Carson Teed and Adam Bucci as Isaac.

Our heroes: Save a whole section of Los Angeles from pro-solar power whack jobs and fight teen bullying. A busy day made busier with Deeks back at LAPD for some training.

What important things did we learn about:

Callen: Impatient with coffee shop employees who are wanna be lawyers. Sam: Doesn't think he could deal with the level of bullying Amanda was subjected to daily. Kensi: Teamed up with Hidoko again. Deeks: Active shooter training. Eric: Shadow quotes Hetty in Ops to Mosley. Nell: Driving the drone with ease. Mosley: Isn't punishing Deeks by sending him back to LAPD, is saving his job. Hetty: Absent.

What not so important things did we learn about:

Callen: Not interested in Mosley joining them at Boomtown. Sam: Knows the temperatures at which everything burns. Kensi: Bag of Bones, Chicken Legs, Olive Oyl. Deeks: Quizzing the coworkers. Eric: Fan of the grande iced, sugar-free vanilla latte with almond milk. Nell: Back in the taco truck. Mosley: Threatens to send Eric to HR for a "or are you just happy to see me" joke. Hetty: Back in the next episode.

Who's down with OTP: Not a lot of Kensi and Deeks time today but he did tell her he loved her when she tossed him some ibuprofenl for his active shooter sims injuries.

Who's down with BrOTP: Not a ton of banter among the guys. This was a bit of a straight case episode.

Any pressing need for Harm and Mac: Again, all civilians.

Today in Harley: Harley is in the field with Kensi for most of the episode. Her lines could have almost all been said by Deeks and the episode would not have changed one bit except for the warrant line and being bullied for being smart. She was bullied for being smart but realized things got better. She ended the day at a spinning class while the team was tired.

Fashion review: Grey plaid button shirt for Callen with a dark brown, short field coat. Black henley for Sam with a black suede zip-up jacket. Kensi is in a pullover, long sleeve top with a light grey base, darker grey patches making kind of epaulets on her shoulder and circling the shirt's collar and a black leather jacket. Cornflower blue zip-up hoodie over a charcoal grey v-neck tee for Deeks. Pink short-sleeve button down over a royal blue tee for Eric. Black dress with a white print for Nell under a red blazer. Black dress for Mosley. Eggplant colored sweater for Hidoko with a sweetheart collar and a black leather jacket.

Callen and Sam change at the end of the episode – their clothes ruined by the cement. Callen is in a blue tee shirt and down his favorite pair of shoes. Sam is in a white undershirt proud of his own "cement shoes".

Music: "Do You Ever Feel Afraid?" by Luan is playing at the coffee shop.

Any notable cut scene: Not today

Quote: Deeks: "You solved your case, but did you solve the mystery of the man pushing his car up to the hotel?" Kensi: "You know what, we were talking about that all day." Deeks: "Did you really?" Kensi: "Mm-hmm." Deeks: "You have any more questions?" Sam: "Yeah, um, was the guy driving a race car about, oh, that big?" Deeks: "Yes, he was." Callen: "And was the hotel red, and made of plastic?" Deeks: "Yes, it was." Kensi: "He was playing Monopoly. He pushed the car to the hotel on Boardwalk and went bankrupt." Deeks: "I am not going to lie, I'm very impressed right now. And this is what I was talking about, it's a team coming together, using their powers of deduction. Nice work. How long did it take you?" Callen: "I don't know, 0.087 seconds, I think." Sam: "Yeah. We Googled it." Deeks: "You Googled it? You cheated? You took the shortcut. You know what, this is what's wrong with your whole generation." Callen: "Every great investigation starts with the Internet."

Anything else: A person is off-roading on a motorcycle. Parking the bike, it is revealed a to be a young man when he removes his helmet. Walking down a hill, he trips on a brick-sized rock. The man tumbles to the bottom of the hill where he, and a lot of area around him, suddenly catches fire.

In the bullpen, Deeks wants Kensi to 'fire away" when Callen and Sam arrive via the side entrance behind Callen's desk. Kensi is at her desk, Deeks is drinking coffee and no, "we're not fighting." They're not fighting but Kensi is annoyed they're playing a stupid game. Deeks disagrees – they are honing their skills of deduction. Since anything that helps hone his skills is good by Sam, he's interested. Kensi thinks it is a waste of time.

Deeks points out that professional athletes run wind sprints and hit the gym – are they wastes of time? No, it's not, according to Deeks, because it makes them better at what they do. Deeks's game he thinks is going to make them better special agents. Callen is in too. "Let the games begin."

Deeks is going to give an "enigmatic" statement (call Dana Scully) and the team will ask questions to ascertain the truth. "Why did the chicken cross the road?" is Kensi's pre-statement question. Deeks tells Callen and Sam to "ignore this" as he theatrically points to Kensi. A man pushes his car to a hotel to a hotel and says 'I have no money' – Deeks wants the team to ask yes or no questions based on that statement. Callen and Sam ask some questions and Kensi notes one of Deeks's answers contradicts another.

Eric arrives with a whistle and a question about a kilt and snowing. Eric thinks they have a case. Mosley is tightlipped about the case.

Nell has video of a fire in the Los Padres foothills on the big screen. There was a casualty but no structural damage to the area around the fire. While the body has not been ID, Mosley tells the team that the arson investigators determined the cause of the fire was next generation, military-grad napalm. Kensi says napalm is only used in bombs. Callen thought it was completely banned after Vietnam. Sam explains it was banned against civilians. The last time it was officially used was against a military installation in Iraq in 2003.

Mosley knows a weapon that uses napalm as an explosive is stored at Camp Pendleton. She is waiting confirmation to see if any of it has been stolen. Deeks asks what would the damage be if one was taken. Dropped from a plane, each would cause 2,500 square yards of burns, asphyxiation and carbon monoxide poisoning.

Callen and Sam are off to the site where there was a fire. Sam leaves with one last question for Deeks's statement and he is on to something. Deeks is being recalled for the day to LAPD for a mandatory active shooter class. Kensi and Hidoko are going to interview the ordinance officer at Camp Pendleton about any possible stolen weapon. Deeks doesn’t want to go – he has more real world experience with active shooters than SWAT. It is mandatory if he wants to keep his job, his benefits and his pension. Deeks is going – he likes his dental plan.

At the crime scene, Callen talks to an investigator. They found the dead body and the remnants of the man's motorcycle. Sam thinks it is lucky that nothing is around – this could have been so much worse. Callen wants to know who would torch an empty field. A pyromaniac just for kicks wouldn't be using napalm. Sam wonders if it was a test for something bigger.

Callen finds what was left of the license plate. Sam explains that napalm burns at 1,200 degrees – the license plate melted but steel frame around it did not. That melts at 1,500 degrees according to Sam. Callen wants to know why Sam knows these things. Callen sees a beer bottle. Glass melts at 1,250 degrees per Sam. Callen asks about marshmallows. Callen comes across the bike's steel VIN. "Wonder Twin powers activate," Callen says as he sends a photo of the VIN to Ops.

Nell tells Callen and Sam that the motorcycle belongs to a Zach Fuller, age 20. Callen wants Kensi and Hidoko – he obviously was told Deeks was out of pocket today – to check out Fuller's. Nell says they're just wrapping up with the ordinance officer. NCIS is teaming up with ATF on the investigation. Eric tells Callen and Sam to "kick some ash."

Kensi and Hidoko interview Fuller's landlady. She is an older woman who really liked Fuller. When she gave up her driver's license, she offer him her Volvo. She said Fuller never had a daytime guest and she does not allow renters – he was renting a single room in this woman's house – to have overnight guests. As the landlady opens Fuller's room, Hidoko tries to stop her since they're waiting for a search warrant. Kensi coughs to stop Hidoko but the landlady is having none of it. "The boy is dead. Do your job."

Fuller's room is immaculate. If Kensi and Hidoko can find any family, the landlady is happy to return his cleaning deposit – "it is the very least I can do." Hidoko notices some equipment near Fuller's desk. She asks if he had a fish tank. He did not but ran his own aquarium cleaning business. He made house calls. Kensi asks if they can check the room's closet. "Knock yourself out" says the oh so helpful landlady.

Kensi opens the closet and starts to cough. She asks the landlady for a glass of water. When the woman leaves, Kensi shows Hidoko a big supply of chemicals. If they are the chemicals that can make napalm, Fuller could have enough for 50-gallons. Hidoko thinks that much napalm could take out the Staples Center, the Federal Building or a terminal at LAX. Kensi wants to know what the napalm makers are planning.

Callen and Sam are told by Nell that Zach Fuller was adopted and his parents died two years ago. He has no other relatives. Other that his motorcycle, he has no digital footprint. Callen disagrees – everyone has a digital footprint. No, Eric tells them – no credit card, no bank account, no cell phone or e-mail account for Fuller. Sam asks about income tax but Fuller paid in cash at his local 7-Eleven (7-Eleven does accept IRS payments). Sam thinks it takes a lot of effort to be that far off the grid. Callen thinks there was a reason for that. Fuller washed out of Navy boot camp. Sam wants them to check with Fuller's training officer – see if he was looking for revenge.

Kensi finds a business card on Fuller's desk – "Gavin & Sun, Solar Installation and Service". The landlady explained she was having solar panels put on the house. Fuller wanted to save the planet, she wanted to cut down on her electric bills. A lot of Fuller's equipment was from Caroline's Aquarium Supply Store. Kensi and Hidoko were going to check it out when the landlady said it was closed. Kensi wanted to track down the owner but they already have – the landlady was the owner.

Caroline was named after the Caroline Islands where her husband fought during the war. He was First Marine Division at Peleliu. Kensi knows that battle went on for two months. It took him ten-years to get over the battle. The store opened in 1955. Hidoko thinks they had a nice, long run. They'd still have it, according to the landlady, but Amazon and Petco killed their business.

Fuller was a regular at the store – she would give him referrals of people who were "too damn lazy to clean their own tank." He bought out her remaining stock. Hidoko wondered who clients contacted him now. They'd call the landlady or meet him at a local coffee shop, Borgese's Café, every day at 8AM.

Mosley contacts Kensi. A hazmat team is going to remove the chemicals from the house. Kensi is about to tell Mosley about the solar company and the coffee shop but Mosley already knows. Hidoko "filled her in" – I'm guessing she's listening on comms. Kensi is not pleased and Hidoko knows that. Kensi asks about Callen and Sam.

Eric interrupts. Fuller's Navy record was good even though he was there for just two months. Fuller wanted to work in the Navy's Marine Mammal Program with mine-hunting dolphins. Kensi and Hidoko both think that sounds like Fuller. When it was discontinued for a drone based program, Fuller was given an honorable discharge. Eric is sad dolphins lost their jobs to underwater drones. Kensi and Hidoko are off to the solar company. Callen and Sam are going to the coffee shop. Eric wouldn't mind if they picked him up a grande iced, sugar-free vanilla latte with almond milk. That does not go over well.

The fellow working behind the counter at the coffee shop is not helpful. He wants to know why Callen and Sam are interested in Fuller. Was he killed by excessive police force? The counterman wants a lawyer. Sam thinks he'll need one for obstructing a federal investigation – that's five years in prison. Counterman gets cooperative – Fuller mostly kept to himself. Spoke with a young woman named Amanda. She was a purple laptop and is in the shop right now.

Callen and Sam approach Amanda, who is working away on her laptop with headphones (earbuds really) on. She is off-campus - it is allowed during study period. The library is too rowdy with all the gamers. She's working on a philosophy paper. Callen shows Amanda Fuller's photo. She smiles and recognizes him right away. Sam sympathetically tells her Fuller died on his motorcycle. Amanda is sad but pretends Fuller wasn't a friend – she shut him down the few times he tried to talk to her, she was at the coffee shop to study.

Sam wants to know what Fuller spoke to her about. Fuller was anti-technology. He wanted people to talk to one another. This coffee shop where everyone is on a laptop or tablet was the wrong place for those thoughts. They weren't dating – Amanda thought he was shy. Sam gives Amanda his card – if she remembers anything else give him a call. As they leave, Callen and Sam agree Amanda is lying. They also see the coffee shop has security cameras.

Kensi and Hidoko introduce themselves to Gavin and Carson Teed who are unloading solar panels for a job. Gavin jokes that NCIS is Navy and he can't install solar panels on a submarine. They ask about Zach Fuller or his landlady Martha Adams. Kensi shows them Fuller's photo. Carson remembers Fuller, Gavin didn't take that call. Fuller couldn't afford the installation. He was going to buy the panels and try himself. Carson dropped off the panels. Kensi asks if there was anything odd during the meeting. Carson thought he was the Koran – definitely an Arabic book – on Fuller's desk.

Eric and Nell have security footage from the prior day with Fuller and Amanda spending 18-minutes chatting over coffee. There is no good look at what's on Amanda's computer. Two days earlier, Amanda and Fuller are again spending quality time together. Amanda's computer is visible. The 'Hot Mirror' website can be seen. Nell says it is an anonymous gossip site with a special chat group for Amanda's school. Amanda is being cyberbullied. "It's vicious," according to Sam. He's worried that Amanda may want revenge. The napalm could take out all her online enemies as well as most of the school and staff.

Callen and Sam knock on Amanda's door. Her mother, Tracy Delgado answers. She just did a 24-hour shift as a paramedic. Amanda should be home from school. They wait inside. Callen and Sam sympathize with Tracy's hours. She's a single mom saving for college. Sam breaks the bad news about the cyberbullying. Her mother is heartsick. Amanda was a straight A student until last semester. The bullying is hurting her grades.

Kensi is at Fuller's. The book was about fish in the Indian Ocean. It wasn't the Koran. Fuller isn't about ideology, he's about oceanography. There is a weird receipt in Fuller's recycling bin – ten cases of foam coffee cups. The cups are made of polystyrene – a key ingredient in napalm, according to Nell. With his motorcycle, Kensi doesn't think Fuller could move to the cups. Mosley wants them to check the time/date stamp on the receipt. Find out who helped Fuller. The receipt is torn – Kensi and Hidoko are off to search the trash for the rest with the date/time stamp.

Amanda arrives. Callen and Sam bring up Fuller and Hot Mirror. Tracy is sympathetic to Amanda. Amanda doesn’t pay attention to the teasing anymore – it has been going on for so long. Sam asks if she's spoken to a teacher. He knows he could not handle what she's been through. Amanda explains that things would get worse if she complained. She knows that every kid she passes in the hall, every smirking face, probably read something awful about her on Hot Mirror.

Callen tells her she doesn’t deserve any of this. Sam asks if Zach spoke about burning down the school. Amanda asks if Sam is crazy. Sam explains that Fuller had the makings of napalm – it is used in bombs. Amanda is shocked. Amanda seems genuinely surprised. Fuller liked her – he spoke to her when nobody else would. Callen thinks maybe Fuller was going to burn down the school to defend Amanda.

Kensi and Hidoko are going through Fuller's recycling. He composted and recycled everything. They can't the bottom part of the receipt. Kensi doesn't know why he'd throw one out but not the bottom. Hidoko found the top stuck to the side of the recycling bin. Kensi wonders if it was wet when it went into the bin. Kensi is checking bottles, Hidoko is looking at cans. The two women commiserated on high school bullying. Hidoko was in a program for gifted kids. She was a geek, a dweeb. No prom date. Skinny and tall Kensi was called "bag of bones", "chicken legs" and her favorite "Olive Oyl". Hidoko thinks Amanda needs to know that it gets better because it does.

Kensi finds the bottom of the receipt stuck to a bottle of juice. She provides Eric and Nell with the date and time – January 2nd at 3:19PM. Eric and Nell have Zach leaving the store in the parking lot with another young man but he's wearing a hoodie and not facing the camera. Nell is going to look for reflections in the parking lot.

Sam tells Amanda that cyberbullying and threats will lead to misdemeanor charges against some students. She will be protected from retaliation. The school was told about the chat group and it has been shut down. Callen and Sam leave and talk about Amanda's plight. As they leave the house, Amanda's backyard blows up. Napalm doesn't explode, Sam notes.

The fire department explains that a buildup of methane under the house that built up around a concrete slab in the yard. Tracy helps with that explanation too. She and the firefighter are pals. There is likely a corroded pipe nearby. The gas company has cut off the gas until they find the leak. Tracy loses her hot shower but everything should be fine. Tracy goes back in while Amanda asks Callen and Sam if they are really safe. Amanda has something to show Callen and Sam.

Amanda shows a hole Fuller dug in her back yard. He thought it would be a way to shut down the high school. There are old, dry oil wells around the school with natural gas built up around them. Fuller thought he could tap into a little of the gas and shut down the school for a while – give Amanda some relief. There was a true gas leak in a nearby school that caused an extended shutdown. Fuller was looking for a different well.

Callen thinks Fuller was planning something bigger – by pouring napalm down the hole he could make the area a four mile crater. Callen asks who helped Fuller with the well drill. Amanda didn’t know - she wasn't there when Fuller drilled the hole.

Mosley finds Eric and Nell who are having no luck finding a reflection. She tells them that someone is trying to get to the natural gas fields in Amanda's Bayside neighborhood. Eric thinks they'd need a 1,500 foot commercial drill. Mosley disagrees – the oil wells around the gas are just 30-feet down. They're capped with cement and old telephone poles. Mosley wants some good news. Eric wonders if the counterman at the coffee shop could be Fuller's partner. The height and weight are the same. More security footage comes from a nearby store. Fuller is loading the cups on a Gavin & Sun truck – the man with Fuller is Carson Teed. And he has a well driller.

Fuller hit a gas line behind Amanda's house – it smelled like gas. If he hit a natural gas location, there would be no odor. Kensi and Hidoko are looking for the Teeds. The fire department is testing for methane throughout the neighborhood. Sam thinks this is going to take too long. Mosley is looking for an old oil well map.

Kensi and Hidoko are leaving the home where Gavin & Sun were contracted to install solar panels. They claimed a family emergency – Gavin's daughter / Carson's sister was in a car wreck. They recommended a competitor to finish the job (nice). There is no sister – Eric quotes a great woman – Hetty, "I sense impending mayhem."

Callen and Sam arrive and Gavin & Sun to find an "Out of Business" sign. Sam doesn’t understand how anyone would want to destroy a whole area of Los Angeles (have you watched the show, Sam? That's every week for you guys.). Callen sees a bottle rocket explosive on the ground – hasn't seen one of those since he was a kid. There are also some used fuses. Sam realizes a bottle rocket shot into a well would set off the seeping gas and cause massive explosions. Things would be worse with napalm as an accelerant.

Mosley wants to know about the Teeds. Carson is all about saving the planet but Gavin has a more radical past – he spiked trees as a younger man. The concern is that Fuller partnered with the men. Kensi and Hidoko are looking for the Teeds. Eric's search of the Teeds's digital footprint has them in the dark web. Mosley notes real environmentalists don't go to the dark web. Eric and Nell do some cyber-magic and get to where the Teeds visit. Forums on global warming, overpopulation and the "the idiots in Washington who can't accept the science of global warning." There is a hitlist of anti-global warming politicians. There is a 9-1-1 alert in LA for that day. "Since America is turning a deaf ear to the crisis, we're taking a bold step to send a message." There is a warning that Bayside is dangerous until sunset. With sunset just an hour away, they have to find the Teeds. Mosley is taking Eric, Nell and the Roach Coach (the taco truck) to Bayside.

In the truck, Nell is flying a drone over the Bayside neighborhood. Eric is looking through traffic cam footage. He doesn’t understand how Carson took up learning hurting people for his cause from Gavin. Mosley sighs and says that's usually how these thing work.

Nell has gone through one block – 350 to go. Eric wants to fly the drone. Mosley wants them to stay focused. Kensi contacts Mosley – Amanda is missing. Amanda is not at the coffee shop. Callen is worried that she lied to them again – this time about knowing the Teeds.

Eric is unhappy that the old maps of the oil wells aren't online. The maps are probably in a storage facility near the Ark of the Covenant. Mosley gets a message she forwards to Eric. A college friend found the maps on microfiche at the LA Library. Eric thinks that is like a cave painting. Hey Eric – I worked in a library during college. Shut up. Nell matches up an old well near the last solar job and sends the drone over the location. The Gavin & Sun truck is at a house. Switching to thermal imaging – Eric is impressed and in love when he finds out it also does 3-D mapping and facial rec from 1,500 feet – the Teeds are in the garage with a third person. Mosley sends everyone to the house, which is near a construction site.

Callen and Sam are breaching the garage, Kensi and Hidoko are there for cover. Sam notices a skylight on the garage, Kensi is looking for a window. Hidoko finds a ladder – they can use the skylight. Callen cracks the door opened. Amanda is tied up, Gavin Teed has a dead man's switch for explosives over a well. If he drops the trigger, the bottle rocket will burn napalm over the telephone poles covering the oil wells. That will hit the natural gas and "four miles of devastation" happens. Kensi tells the guys to stall.

Gavin is a true believer – if the natural gas supply is destroyed, everyone has to convert to solar and wind power. Sam warns Gavin that thousands will die. Carson thinks that's thinning the herd – there will be less need for natural resources. And they are willing to die as martyrs to save the planet. They'll inspire others.

Amanda was kidnapped because the Teeds thought Fuller told her about their plans. He did not. Amanda is innocent – Callen wants her to be freed. Kensi comes over the comms – she knows about the dead man's switch. Take out the Teeds on her count. Kensi counts down just as Carson starts to light the bottle rockets. Kensi pours wet cement through the skylight. She doused the rocket and capped the hole. The napalm can't ignite. Poor Amanda thinks this is all her fault. She's shaking. Callen tells her she survived this – she can survive anything. Things are only going to get better.

Back at the office, Callen and Sam get out of their cement covered clothes and return to the bullpen where Kensi is packing up. Sam is proud to have his own pair of cement shoes. Kensi makes a joke about someone messing with Sam's boat and then sleeping with the fishes. Callen asks about Hidoko – she's off taking a spinning class because Kensi thinks she's the Energizer Bunny. Deeks arrives and notices the team is "chilling" at the end of the day. He asks if they solved the case. They did – Kensi will fill him in. They want to know about his active shooter training. It was "amazing" and "rigorous, brutal." They went to an abandoned shopping mall – did live drills. It wasn't the laser-tag training he thought it would be. Deeks was shot in the arm by live action sims. He has bruises. Kensi tosses him some ibuprofen.

Deeks asks if they solved the case about the mystery – a man pushing his car up to a hotel. Sam asks if it was a racecar about that big (showing about an inch between his fingers). It was. Callen asks if the hotel is red. It was. Deeks is shocked – they figured it out. The people were playing Monopoly. Deeks is so proud – the team came together and figured it out together. He wants to know how long it took. 0.087 seconds according to Callen. They Googled it. Deeks thinks they cheated. He's disappointed. Kensi soothes that disappointment with an offer to go to Boomtown.

The team is off when Kensi asks if they should include Mosley. Sam is OK with the idea – Mosley was a big help today. Callen says no. They're taking Kensi's Audi to Boomtown. Sam will join them after he makes a call. He calls Kam to make sure everything is going well. He also wants her to know she can always call him - even when he is shooting at the bad guys. He'd put her on speaker phone.

What head canon can be formed from here: Not much – this is about as much of a stand-alone episode as you can have. Kensi and Hidoko as teens is about it.

This is the annual Joe Sachs usually middle-age, usual white guy has a cause and nobody is paying attention to him so he has to do something big that hurts some people but proves his point. "Higher Power" (middle age professor and the EMP), "Purity" (racist dad and perceived decline in values in his neighborhood), "The Livelong Day" (younger railroad worker's concerns about dangers materials on aging rail lines), "Core Values" (middle age nuclear scientist and the radioactive waste) and "From Havana With Love" (failed baseball player turned bartender and his soon to be ex-wife selling secrets).

Episode number: Episode 12 of season nine. Episode 204 overall.
