Anika: This IS the best I can do! *screaming*

The irony was, Mick was the “uncool” one. He himself had been wary of acid — dropping it for the first time at Tara Browne’s party because everyone was there and everyone was doing it. And he ended up making a big scene, escaping at night over the grounds of Luggala, thinking that he was a small brown crow.

'Suki was completely broken up by what happened to Tara' said Jose Fonseca from English Boy. 'She told me once that she went to see a psychic, who told her that she would witness the deaths of three important men in her life.' a line that would prove spookily prophetic. She spent a great deal of time with Brian as he pirouetted towards his own sad demise.

— Quote from the book "I Read the News Today, Oh Boy: The Short and Gilded Life of Tara Browne, the Man Who Inspired the Beatles' Greatest Song"

Understanding Lennon McCartney Rewatch Part 1.3

Okay can anyone explain the “false hotel registration” thing to me? Does it mean they registered under a false name? So Paul registered under a false name so he could go fuck a girl in his room without getting in trouble with the press? I'm confused. Didn't they bring girls to their rooms all the time without getting in trouble? It doesn't make sense. Why did he feel the need to register under a different name?

Paul, talking about American conservatism, “So many organizations over here that are nuts anyway.” John, “Yeah, they're so far right they just–” tape ends. They really were brave, though. To say what they thought and risk losing what they'd only just got. I wonder who cut the recording. 

Journalist: Paul, are you planning to marry Jane Asher? John: scream ‘no.’ Go on. Lol John certainly says what he feels doesn't he?

Paul making fun of the racist question. Good job bud. 

The whole “Yesterday” thing is crazy. Like, what a feat, first of all. I think we forget how unbelievably successful the song was.

Second of all, I know John's reaction was childish and mean, but his feelings were valid if you just look at the treatment and reception of “Ticket to Ride”  (John's dead mum song). Like objectively yesterday is a better song, but still.

Oh, John. Poor thing. 

If “Girl” is secretly about Paul . . . yeesh. It's so obsessive and adoring and simultaneously so disappointed and disparaging. John always has such impossible standards for Paul. “She promises the earth to me and I believe her, after all this time I don't know why.” Um… maybe because he literally did give you the world? At so many points I find myself asking, “what more could Paul possibly have given John?”

People always take this quote as a sexuality thing, but couldn't it also be a conscience thing? Revulsion at taking advantage of the fact that all these women are fans? At the scale of his infidelity? I don't know, am I giving him too much credit?

The thing about Paul, John – and though it drives you insane, it's a big factor in why you love him -- is he's not going to be bullied into anything. If he decides to take LSD it's going to be on his own terms. And I know you think it'll bring you two closer, and you're right, but peer pressure just doesn't work on him. There's no point. You know that.

I LOVE Paul and the Indica. Designing the wrapping paper in secret up in his little attic room, covering over the shop windows so he can do his handyman work building shelves and painting in peace. It's Linda's Paul pre Linda, you know?

John is so good at PR as in making something sound as beautiful and important and powerful as possible. Which is something Paul absolutely relied on John to do and clearly could not do on his own after the break up. Look how John makes them almost into prophets here.

"I really wanted to live in London but I wouldn't risk it." Another thing to make John envious of Paul and resentful of Cynthia. I really wish those two had just never got married. 

“I don't object to people having a lot of money, I never did. But I do object to people being stony broke and starving.” RIP John, you would've loved the American “left” of today. But you can't have the former without the latter, sorry.

This picture always gets me. It's ridiculous. Pattie and George. Mo and Ringo. John and Paul. With Cynthia awkwardly by herself. It's funny. It's adorable. It's crushing. And with that quote? It's impossible.

I think Tara Browne is overlooked. Paul brought him home for Christmas. That's a big deal. And John hated him enough to laugh when he read about his death. That's also a big deal. Paul and his messed up social climbing obsession. I do think it's worth pointing out, though, the difference between Paul’s LSD trip with Tara and his trip with John. More on that later.

I really do think they were all staunchly anti-racist for their time, you know, besides John's racist jokes and drawings… but Paul particularly. And I have to wonder where that came from. Did he have empathy for people being judged on appearance and background? Was it partially due to his idolization of black artists? Did Little Richard maybe say something to him about racism in America? Anyone have any thoughts?

Actually, same, John. 

Okay and I have to share my hot take on the whole Jesus scandal. It's this: the American right doesn't actually care about Jesus. They care about protecting their hegemony. They didn't like that the Beatles were openly and stubbornly integrationist. They didn't like Paul's comment about their inhumane racism. But they couldn't openly counter that without showing their hand. So they used the Jesus comment as an excuse. If they play the religious persecution card, they get to paint themselves as the victims and therefore the good guys while they take down anyone who challenges the status quo that keeps them in money and power (aka the Beatles). 

Maybe I should've had a “poor baby” tally because the number of times I've said that about John in these comments has got to be tally-worthy. I would've driven around in a gorilla suit with you, honey!

It is actually amazing that there hasn't been more speculation on Paul's sexuality with all these serious boyfriends. 

Paul tells a story about a time he flew a plane, and how much better he liked it than being a passenger. First off. Imagine being a pilot and just being like “oh, you've never touched a joystick in your life, but you're Paul McCartney? Sure, go ahead. Fly the plane.” But also. His control issues and his confidence are both off unreal. No one in their right mind would feel more safe flying a plane – as someone with a complete lack of experience – than when a licensed pilot is flying it. 

Okay I literally JUST learned that Here There and Everywhere says, “how good it can be” not could. Can. And it's one of those in my "for sure this was about John" folder. Okay then. Wow.

The thing is they really did compliment each other's songs a lot more than modern Paul makes it seem like. So I wonder what it was about the “Here There and Everywhere” compliment that made it so special to Paul?

This footage where John is hiding behind McCharmley. I love protective Paul and how different he is to protective John and how much they needed each other.

Did Taylor Swift write "Sweet Nothing" about Paul McCartney and his wife's summer in Wicklow in 1971?

The song "Sweet Nothing" on Taylor Swift's Midnights has always stood out to me as a bit of an anomaly. Until this intriguing quote by Paul McCartney caught my eye:

In a 2001 ABC interview about his wife Linda, who passed away in 1998, Paul McCartney said:

"I would go out for a run, think of some words, get home from the run, write them down, and make a cup a tea for Linda," said McCartney, who would bring it to her for breakfast. "I'd make a little tray, and go up, and then I'd say, 'Hey, by the way, do you want to hear some poetry?' She'd always … she'd say, 'Yeah.' And so I wrote that poem." 'Blessed.' I would come back from a run. With lines of poetry to tell. And having listened, she would say "What a mind."

This is a direct quote and exact same storyline as in "Sweet Nothing." There is NO WAY that is a coincidence. So I wanted to see if Paul and Linda had any connection to Wicklow - the place mentioned in the song. 

I think the McCartney family vacationed at the Luggala Estate in Co. Wicklow, Ireland in the summer of 1971 as an escape from the aftermath of the Beatles breakup.

A sweet Wicklow love story:

Paul McCartney has connections to Luggala going back to 1965-1966 when he partied at the estate with Guinness Brewing heir Tara Browne who was killed in a car accident a few months after his raucous 21st birthday, and inspired the Beatles song "A Day in the Life." Paul was close to Tara and his death deeply impacted him. This Rolling Stone article details their relationship and mentions that Paul has visited Luggala to visit Tara's gravesite since then on "numerous occasions." Paul had not met his wife Linda yet while Tara was alive, but this proves Paul's deep and personal ties to the family and their 5,000 acre private estate in the Wicklow Mountains, which continued to be a private retreat for celebrity guests until it was sold in 2019.

Paul McCartney has posted multiple family photos taken by his wife in the summer of 1971 that appear to be taken near the Luggala Estate in Co. Wicklow. He tweeted this photo on St. Patricks day in 2017 which a previous Reddit thread links to Wicklow in 1971. And recently on March 2022 he tweeted this photo which appears to be taken the same day judging by his shirt and his dog, and credits the photo as being taken by his wife (she was a professional photographer) in Ireland in 1971. Here you have a better view of the surrounding mountains and rocky streams (full of pebbles I'd imagine...) It's notable that the second photo was posted March 2022 around the time when Taylor would be writing and recording the Midnights album.

If you look at the aerial view of Luggala Estate (Now showing on Google Maps as Luggala Lodge), I believe that these photos were taken in one of the rocky streams that feed into the private lake...which is named Lough Tay. (I like to think it's an extra little wink from Taylor that this investigation literally led me to a lake named Lough Tay.)

This area is completely private and the closest public access is from a hiking overlook. This seems like a great place for one of the most famous musicians in the world to hide out with his two young children, 2 dogs, and Linda, who would have been pregnant with Stella McCartney (born Sept 13, 1971).

We know that the family and their dogs were in Ireland in the summer of 1971 from this newspaper article where they were photographed at an airport in August leaving Ireland, which means it's possible that they were in Wicklow a few weeks earlier in July.

Even though The Beatles broke up in 1969, it continued to be messy between members of the band and the financials involved for the next few years. During the summer of 1971 Paul McCartney and John Lennon were embroiled in a very public fight. There were lawsuits and scathing letters (dated 1971) and it's all very complicated so I won't go into it here, but this article has a good overview.

The lyric, "Industry disruptors and soul deconstructors and smooth-talking hucksters out glad-handing each other" could reference these incidents. I could see Taylor relating to Paul going through this public turmoil surrounding business with former friends, because it is similar to what she's going through with her masters.

The lyric "You're in the kitchen humming" could reference Linda's passion for cooking and vegetarian activism. She literally founded a food company and wrote a cookbook. This darling photo on her website shows her cooking at the family home in Scotland in the 1970s. Linda was also a singer and recorded many songs with Paul, so the idea that she could be "humming" makes sense.

Taylor Swift has been friends with the McCartney family for a while. She first met Paul in 2010. She collaborated with Stella McCartney in 2019 for a clothing line as part of the Lover era, and Stella also dressed her for the Evermore album cover in 2020.

Taylor and Paul McCartney famously interviewed each other for Rolling Stone's "Musicians on Musicians" in 2020. In this article they mention how they both like writing under pseudonyms.

But the most surprising thing I learned is that Paul actually wrote a song dedicated to Taylor and her relationship with her fans called "Who Cares."

Notably, the music video also features Taylor's longtime friend Emma Stone wearing rainbow makeup in an otherwise black-and-white world full of cartoonish bullies. It's notable that the music video was released Dec 2018, right before the Lover era would kick off a few months later. Perhaps Paul was showing a bit of preemptive support for Taylor as she embarked on what many of us believe was intended to be her coming out era?

Now to the William Bowery of it all:

Taylor clearly wants us to think Sweet Nothing is about Joe because of the Wicklow name drop, where Joe was papped in July 2021, which looks staged to me.

Interestingly, I can't find any photos of Taylor being seen anywhere near Wicklow, but for some reason she staged a whole photoshoot in Northern Ireland in July, where locals said she "arrived and left by helicopter in a fleeting visit."

She was also seen in several different locations in Belfast in fan photos. This article also says part of Red TV was recorded in Belfast.

Clearly she wanted to be seen and linked to Northern Ireland, and the lyric easily could have been "Does it ever miss Belfast sometimes?" (same number of syllables) but it's not.

"Sweet Nothing" does have a William Bowery co-writing credit. Would Sir Paul McCartney agree to a secret writing credit? Maybe.

I read an interesting twitter thread from a lawyer (who is a Gaylor) that discusses how William Bowery could be a name under which Taylor commissions writing "for hire." Meaning it could be Joe or multiple other people writing under that pseudonym, as opposed to the "Willam Bowery" (spelled different) which is listed as a U.S. Citizen.

Even if Paul wasn't involved in writing the song, I believe he inspired "Sweet Nothing."

Note: This theory was originally posted on the R/GaylorSwift subreddit Dec 22, 2022 which is currently set to private. I am the original author of the Reddit post (u/-periwinkle), and am reblogging it on my Tumblr because this theory has been gaining traction and I wanted to create a public version. This version has been slightly expanded and updated with better images. Also, I was not the first person to uncover the "what a mind" quote, and the original person who found it is tagged on Reddit.

Hi can I request Ethan x fem reader.The reader loves Ethan but he is dating this other girl.The other girl treats him wrong but he to blind to see.The core four comes up with a plan to break them up and get ethan with the reader.(Thanks)

She

Ty 4 this request love I really appreciate it <333 if you guys want something written always feel free to request hehe ^_*

Warnings: mentions of cheating (cheaters suck), core 4 calls reader bub, core 4 literally love you, Ethan calls you bun/bunny, angel/angel face, gets a little steamy at the end but nothing explicit.

These past few weeks had been a burden for you and the core four. Ever since Ethan had gotten together with that girl you don't even know the name of, I mean he never introduced her and doesn't even hang out with you guys. You rarely seen him around.

It hurt it really fucking hurt when Chad told you Ethan was seeing someone and he hated seeing you like this. They knew you liked Ethan ever since you both met, I mean you couldn't help it. He had the prettiest face that came with the cutest pair of puppy dog eyes with the softest brown curls and he's so tall and so, so fucking strong. It made your brain melt at the thought of him you just wanted him.

You believed that he knew, it felt as if he also liked you back. He would always hold your hand going to classes and he always helped you with those classes, he would never leave you with out saying goodbye with a forehead kiss. Ethan would talk to you as if you were the most delicate thing always making sure you were comfortable anywhere you guys went. His hands always rubbed at your knee or thigh calming you down, cuddling you when you felt sad and always taking care of you when you had your bad days. He just was always there.

You were dumb enough to think he liked you and would choose you, but no, he choose a girl who didn't even care for him. Every time you saw her she wasn't with him she was with some dude who she called her 'best friend' hand and hand with him they were always all up on each other. You tried to tell Ethan but he just blew you off telling you "Don't be stupid you're seeing shit stop trying to ruin my relationship" Ethan was getting brainwashed by this girl and he didn't even notice.

"Im telling you guys E is getting played and he doesn't even realize it" you told your friends who came rushing to your dorm when you told them you needed help.

"you're telling me this 'emergency' is Ethan getting cheated on" Mindy spoke up first quoting the emergency. "guys please help me, you know you secretly care for him" you whined at them plopping down on your bed. "Chad please your his roommate, pretty please" you rambled even more now sitting up from your bed facing Chad lightly punching him on his chest.

"I mean guys Ethans too stupid to even realize this, sorry bub" he spoke apologizing when he called Ethan stupid. "See chads with me please tara Mindy, please please please" you begged now dropping to your knees begging the girls "Fine. fuck you're lucky we love you" Mindy spoke lifting you up to your feet.

"yea and like we all thought it was gonna be you and him ever since you guys met, you guys were like all lovey dovey and shit it was gross but cute but really really gross" spoke tara putting her arm around your shoulder pulling you out your dorm, behind you two the wrest of the twins followed behind.

That whole week Chad had been taking photos for proof anytime he had the chance. He had scored a picture of Sarah kissing her so called best friend. Of course he made sure she got her face there's no way Ethan could deny it, even if this hurt him he had to know. No way he was gonna let Ethan get played by this girl, not when he already had you, you guys are perfect for each other.

Mindy had tried to talk to Ethan about you. She would ask, him things like Don't you miss her? I thought you guys were planning to watch ant man? What happened between both you guys? why aren't you close anymore? I thought you liked her e? Now that one threw him off. He didn't like that one, how could she ask him that while he was already in a happy and 'healthy' relationship. That ended the conversation with him telling her how he had to go, but that last question had him up all night.

Tara had managed to befriend Sarah. She had her in one of her classes, she sat right by her using her friendly manners to coax her into a slight friendship and boom. She spilled everything. Told her how she was only dating Ethan for the purpose to get back with her ex. She called him needy nerdy and annoying the only good thing about him was his looks and his muscles. She never wanted to punch someone so bad. Yea she didn't really like Ethan but she loved you. She wanted to see you happy and Ethan made you happy, you deserved that.

Once all of them got this information they had to do the hardest part. Tell Ethan.

"how are we gonna do this again" asked Chad looking at his sister who had already explained how it was gonna go down. "I swear to fucking god. We get him here by telling him how our sweet bub here is very sick and doesn't want to talk to any of us, I mean there's no way he won't come right" Mindy questioned everyone petting your head as you nod.

"I hope so" you spoke in a small voice, you really didn't want to see how hurt he was gonna be but you knew it had to be done. You cared for him and you knew your friends only did all this for you so there's no backing up now that all of the work had been done.

"ok I texted him" Chad yelled making you look up fast in a panic. "Wait were doing this now" you spoke loud making every one look at you "Bub it has to be done now, its Saturday night there's no way he's busy right now" tara told you caressing your hair making you relax.

And he indeed did not ignore that message. He got up immediately once he saw chads message, see he still cared for you. He knew how you got when you got really sick it was always him who knew what to do so he just HAD to be there. Taking his coat off the rack and putting it on along with his shoes rushing out his dorm and making his way to yours. He walked no ran to your dorm, he had to know you were alright, he couldn't stand you being alone all by yourself hurting, he just couldn't.

"BUN! you okay in there? I brought you some chocolate please open the door" Ethan yelled knocking on your door. He expected to see your tired sad eyes but instead was greeted with Mindy who was smiling. ''Hey E" she spoke laughing awkwardly "Come in" she said pulling him in by his sleeve.

"What's going on? where is she?'' he spoke looking for you, face softening when he saw you sitting criss cross on your bed head low fiddling with your fingers.

"We brought you here to prove to you that we were right, and we don't want to see you get hurt anymore" Chad told him showing him the pictures he took and the screenshots of the convo between tara and Sarah making sure to show the phone number. He stood there blank stare looking at the images and messages. Mouth agape, opening and closing like a fish, one of his hands went to rub his temple looking at all your faces then back to the phone.

"Fuck, you see I knew it was happening but fuck. That's fucked up." Ethan spoke laughing softly. He felt betrayed but at the same time he felt relief. He didn't like her, yea at the beginning he did it was cool or whatever but towards the end he felt drained, he didn't like it. He never liked her, he finally felt his mind start to clear up. Of course the question Mindy had asked a while ago still lingering in his mind this whole time and he finally knew the answer.

"Uh can I, can you guys please leave" Ethan asked not expecting a no as he turned around to open your door standing to the side. They all agreed getting up making there way out the door, Mindy turned to look at you winking before leaving the room closing the door behind her.

"I'm sorry E but I warned you I told you and you didn't listen" you said looking up at him hands still in your lap but you were now sitting up on your knees. Hand reaching out to grab his big hand into your small ones. "I know bun, I'm sorry for not listening" you felt relief at his words, no longer feeling burden.

"Should had listen to you, should always listen to you angel. You're too good for me" he spoke softly at you hand leaving yours as he went to touch your soft cheek settling himself on your bed pulling you to his lap, you felt him get closer now that you sat on him. Eyes looking deep into yours and you could feel his breath on your lips. His minty vanilla smell was the only thing you could smell. You could feel your eyes slowly began to open and close the closer he got. And finally you felt it, You felt his lips on yours and you heard him groan softly at the taste of your mouth, tongue playing with yours, mouth moving slow but sloppy taking in everything you gave him. You felt the hand on your cheek move to the back of your head pulling you even closer to him. He loved this he wanted to stay like this forever.

"E cant- can't breath" you told him through each kiss he could hear how out of breath you were so he let go with one last kiss, kissing your cheek then your jawline then your neck leaving a trail of soft wet kisses, you didn't even notice how you started to rock your hips on his lap but he did and he loved it, he loved how needy you got at his actions helping you rock into him even more. He finally stopped his kisses on your collarbone biting you softly making you whine. Laughing at the noise you made opening his eyes to look at your dazed face.

"Damn bunny we make out for a little and you already looked fucked stupid" he teased you making you giggle at his words punching his shoulder, but you did look a little stupid. Your cheeks were red and so were your lips, they had a little drool on them too your hair was a little messy from his hands and you were breathing a little too loud.

"Can't help it you're really good at making me feel that way" you giggled even more looking at him hand on his cheek urging him closer to you to have him kiss you again just like he had before.

"wait does this mean you like me back" you said abruptly stoping the kiss.

"Yes angel face I like you so so so much don't be a dummy" he spoke laughing at your cluelessness pushing you to your back and kissing you once again.

Sam: How close are you two?

Amber: Me and Mind? Now really close.

Mindy: We’re just pals.

Sam: Mindy, why are you caressing her hair like that? And twirling it?

Amber: What? She’s bored?

Mindy: Yeah, what’s wrong with me doing this?

Sam picks up Mindy’s phone: Why do you have a nude selfie of Amber as your wallpaper?!

Mindy: She thought it was funny!

Amber smiling: I thought it was funny.

Sam: But why are you two holding hands?!

Amber: Jesus Christ Sam. What? Two friends can’t hold hands, play with each others hair and share each others nudes?

Mindy: Yeah you’re really being ignorant right now, Sam.

Amber: Yeah Sam.

Mindy: Yeah Sam.

Tara behind Sam: Yeah Sam.

Sam turns around

Sam: What?! This conversation doesn’t concern you!

NCIS: Los Angeles Season 14 Rewatch:  “Shame”

The basics:  Kensi, Deeks, Fatima and Rountree investigate the death of a sailor on the Allegiance.  Callen is with Anna and their possible wedding planner while Sam is spending the day with Kam.

Written by:   Written by: Sam Block & Jamil Akim O’Quinn.  This is the first episode as writers for both Sam Block and Jamil Akim O'Quinn.  Since season 13, Sam Block was an assistant to the executive producer.  Jamil Akim O'Quinn was a writers production assistant for "Of Value" earlier this season.

Directed by:   Daniela Ruah directed “Russia, Russia, Russia”, “Lost Sailor Down”, “Pandora’s Box”, “Live Free or Die Standing” and "Flesh & Blood". 

Guest stars of note:  Kayla Smith as Kam Hanna is back from season 12’s “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You”.  Bar Paly returns from “Flesh & Blood” earlier in the season.  Kavi Ramachandran Ladnier as Shyla Dahr is back from “A Long Time Coming” crossover episode,  Duncan Campbell is back “In the Name of Honor” as Agent Castor, Joy McElveen as Chief Petty Officer Kemi Adebayo, Heather Grace Hancock as Robin Wassner, Rosanna Pansino as Tara Walker, David Figlioli as Rondel Fryer, Marco Antonio Martinez as Command Master Chief Petty Officer Jalen Hughes, Justice Gamble as Chief Petty Officer Dennis Bradshaw.

Our heroes:   Are siloed like a COVID episode.

What important things did we learn about:

Callen:  Wants serious security at his wedding after Kensi and Deeks’s nuptials.  Sam:  Good father whose compassion isn't conditional Kensi:  Fill-in Agent Afloating with Fatima. Deeks:  Good at noticing handwriting differences. Fatima:  Fill-in Agent Afloating with Kensi. Rountree:  Training with Sam to improve his chase times. Kilbride:  Worried about clusters of suicides.

What not so important things did we learn about:

Callen:  Quoting “The Deer Hunter” while planning a wedding. Sam:  Wanted to make Michelle’s meatloaf, had it made for him instead. Kensi:  Fishing for a wedding invite from Fatima. Deeks:  Left for a deposition. Fatima:  Going on long walks with Akhil Rountree:  Jokingly weirded out by Deeks. Kilbride: Proud of Gen Z for being open to who people truly are.

Where in the world is Henrietta Lange?  Not a mention.

Who's down with OTP:   Kensi and Deeks are Kensi and Deeks.  Wedding plans yield arguments between Callen and Anna and also so quality time on the couch.  Fatima seems to be having a good time Ali.  Kam broke up with Josh and is dating Riley.

Who's down with BrOTP:  Sam is training Rountree. Kensi is looking for wedding invites for Fatima. 

Fashion review:    Callen wore a dark blue button down shirt for the wedding planner appointment.  An eggplant colored long-sleeve tee for Sam.  Lightweight beige pullover sweater for Kensi.  Dark grey long-sleeve tee for Deeks.  Fatima wore a long-sleeve dark brown turtleneck.  Both Kensi and Fatima wore NCIS jackets on the Allegiance.  Rountree started the day in a Nike light grey athletic long-sleeve tee and later was in a light grey, long-sleeve tee-shirt (no swoosh).  Blue three-piece suit, light blue dress shirt and medium blue tie for the Admiral.

Music:  “Falling” by Lauren Jauregui is playing in Kam’s Air Pods as Sam returns home.  “Modelle” by Bruno Nicolai plays at the wedding planner’s office.

Any notable cut scene:  Not today.

Quote:  Sam:  “You know, I had always hoped that me and your Mom created an empathetic environment for you and Aiden.  Wanted to make sure you never felt like our compassion was conditional.” Kam:  “Yeah, of course.”

Sam Hanna – good father.

Anything else:  On an aircraft carrier, Chief Petty Officer Kemi Adebayo notices Petty Officer Eli Wassner is missing from his station.  She starts to search for him only to find a note in his bunk.  Going deeper into the carrier, she finds him hanging from a pipe in a hold.  He’s dead.

Rountree is running through a park area, doing some parkour as he runs.  Sam is timing him.  1-minute, 17-seconds.  Sam is shooting for 1:10.  Rountree expects “a Sam Hanna lesson” and is not disappointed.  Sam tells Rountree it is all about his mentality, keep setting goals and resetting them higher, “no comfort in greatness.”  Rountree notes Sam looks pretty comfortable.  Flattery will get Rountree nowhere with Sam.  Rountree is looking for a ride to the office.  Sam has the day off so it is Uber for Rountree who was driven to the park by Sam.

Sam shows up at home with some fancy coffee for a studying Kam.  With Raymond hanging out with Arkady, it is daddy-daughter time for Sam and Kam.  Kam tells Sam he didn’t have to bring her coffee and goes back to writing her paper.  Sam offers to help but the reading material includes “Teen Women’s Sexuality and Politics: A Case Study of the Adolescent Female Body”.  Sam thinks Kam’s got this.

Sam does, however, want Kam ready for her favorite sandwich at a local eatery.  Kam brings up Hanna House Rules number 17 – schoolwork comes first.  Kam picks up her coffee but the lid isn’t on right.  The coffee spills on Kam.  Running off to protect her Berkley sweatshirt and get the hot coffee off her jeans, Kam leaves Sam to save her computer.  As he keeps it from the coffee puddle, Kam gets an IM from a friend name Riley.  A cleaned-up Kam retrieves her computer and decides to work in her room.  Sam mops up the rest of the coffee.

In the Armory, Kensi and Fatima are talking about her walks on the pier and the beach, probably with Akhil (but not mentioned).  Kensi asks if Fatima has her address for the wedding invitation.  They are called to Ops.  Kensi lets Fatima lead so Kensi can hold her train.

In Ops, Petty Officer Wassner’s personnel info is on the big screen.  Shyla is running the briefing.  Wassner was an electronics technician on the Allegiance.  The Allegiance had two suicides on the ship in recent months, the SecNav wants to know if this is the third.  Kensi asks why the Agent Afloat isn’t handling the investigation.  Lucy Tara just left the Allegiance for Hawai’i so a new Agent Afloat has not been assigned. 

Wassner leaves behind a wife in Los Angeles and parents in New Jersey.  Kensi asks if Wassner had any history of depression.  If there was, Wassner never sought treatment.  He also didn’t have gambling debts.  The Admiral wants to know where Callen and Sam are.  Kensi doesn’t know.  Shyla reminds Kilbride that he sent Callen and Sam home for a week to get through some of their annual leave.  Deeks and Rountree are going to interview Wassner’s widow in the boat shed, Kensi and Fatima are on their way to the Allegiance.  The Admiral is worried that the suicides happening in clusters will have some struggling sailors think this is a way out.

In a wedding planner’s office, Callen and Anna are in for an appointment.  They are offered champagne.  Anna tells Callen he doesn’t have to be there, she could have brought Fatima.  Callen wants to be there.  After Anna gives him a look, Callen revises that to wanting to be there for Anna.  Anna wants Callen to want to be there for the two of them.  That’s what Callen meant, he assures her.

On the Allegiance, Kensi and Fatima are brought to see Master Chief Hughes in the hold where Wassner was found.  He’s there to help as needed.  Hughes points out the ladder Wassner used, the rope stored in the hold and Wassner’s knife.  Kensi wants to see the body but that’s impossible, the body was sent stateside.  Wassner is Jewish and the Navy is respecting his traditions.  Fatima will have Shyla speak to the medical examiner.

Hughes turns over the note found in Wassner’s bunk.  That is going back to NCIS for analysis.  Fatima asks who knows about the note.  Hughes says the ship’s Command, NCIS and Chief Adebayo, who found both the note and Wassner.  Kensi asks to speak to Chief Adebayo.

In the boatshed, Castor shows up with Robin Wassner, the widow.  Deeks points to the couch, and offers sympathies.  He’s sorry to do this to her with all she’s going through.  He’s looking to find out a little more about Eli, what he was going through on the Allegiance.  They had a weekly phone call every Sunday.  There were no signs that he was struggling.  He was happy, they were laughing on the call.  “We loved each other,” Robin tells Deeks and Rountree.  They were starting to plan a family.  Eli was a letter writer – he was old-fashion, she thought it was romantic.  She’s happy to turn over the letters – “whatever you need.”

Kensi and Fatima interview Chief Adebayo.  She is rather emotionless, giving one word answers.  Fatima brings up two complaints filed against Adebayo.  Having none of it, Adebayo explains that she doesn’t coddle sailors, that makes her the villain.  She’s not complicit with mediocrity.  Wassner did good work but in recent times, lost focus.   Adebayo says she told Wassner to get his act together.  Kensi pushes – was she too aggressive telling Wassner to get his act together?  With a large group of sailors to lead, Adebayo does not have time to deal with each sailor’s personal issues.  She didn’t know he was unstable.  Kensi really pushes – the team’s well-being is part of her duties as their leader.  Wassner is the third dead sailor on the Allegiance, maybe it is time to review how she is dealing with her sailors.

Looking at Wassner’s background, Rountree says there is no drug use, no alcohol issues, no other mitigating factors.  Wassner’s medical records are clean, his discipline history is spotless and there are no financial issues.  Deeks points out that Wassner was about to go on leave and start a family, there is real pressure there.  Looking at the suicide note, Rountree calls it short and generic.  Comparing them to the letters to Robin, Deeks notices that Wassner was quite poetic in his writing. 

Both Deeks and Rountree notice something else is off with the suicide note.  Deeks points out differences in how certain letters are written, how the ‘i’s are dotted.  Wassner didn’t write his own suicide note – he was likely murdered.

Shyla tells Deeks and Rountree that forensics confirms Wassner didn’t write the suicide note.  Looking through the sailors on the Allegiance, everyone was thoroughly vetted.  There is no history of violence in any of the men and women on the ship.  There were also no visitors or contractors on the ship in the last 48-hours.  Someone on board did this but Shyla wonders why they hung the body, why not throw Wassner overboard.  Deeks, who was almost thrown overboard 10-Christmases ago, tells Shyla that any sailor going overboard triggers an immediate investigation.  By hanging Wassner, the killer tried to come up with a believable cause of death. 

Castor returns with Robin Wassner.  Saying there is no easy way to tell her, Deeks tells Robin that Eli was murdered.  And while it may be hard, anything Robin could remember might help.  Deeks brings up Chief Adebayo, who Robin calls lovely.  In the prior year, Robin had a miscarriage.  Chief Adebayo pushed through Eli’s temporary leave papers, called in favors to get him home to her.  Eli didn’t ask for help, Adebayo overheard Eli mention the miscarriage and she got him home.  “It’s the nicest thing anyone has ever done for us.” 

Kensi tells Fatima that Wassner didn’t write his suicide note.  They are looking for a killer.  Fatima brings up Adebayo but she has alibis from the other Chief Petty Officers on the Allegiance – they all share a room and she was there all night.  Kensi also brings up Adebayo helping the Wassners “in their time of need”.  Adebayo also has a stellar personnel record.  Disappointed in herself, Kensi says she left Adebayo’s personality cloud her judgment during the interview.  Adebayo could have been an ally on the ship.  Fatima brings up that Adebayo wasn’t helpful with some of her answers, Kensi shouldn’t beat herself up.  They need to interview her again.  Kensi also wants to apologize.

Since schoolwork first is still in effect, Sam offers to make Kam Michelle’s famous meatloaf.  Kam likes that idea.  When Sam offers an invite to Josh, Kam doesn’t like that idea.  They’re not hanging out anymore.  They’re both busy with their own things.  Sam tells Kam he’s there if she wants to talk.  The phone rings and Kam retreats to her room.  Raymond is on the phone – could Sam bring over his pickleball paddle to Arkady’s?

At the wedding planners, Tara Walker introduces herself to Callen and Anna.  She’s so excited to be working with them.  Fatima told Tara about Callen and Anna.  Since marriage is between two people, she wants to hear what they both have planned.  Anna lets Callen go first.  Callen brings up a theme and Anna is not big on themes.  Tara ask what they are looking for in a venue.  Anna is looking for atmosphere, Callen is looking for security.  When Anna gives him a look, Callen tells her she didn’t attend Kensi and Deeks’s wedding.   Moving on to an officiant, Callen mentions not being religious, Anna brings up that Arkady is looking into becoming an officiant. 

Seeing things are going to hell, Tara pass Callen and Anna a list of questions to learn their expectations about the wedding.  Callen thinks about eloping.

Kensi opens her second interview with Adebayo with an apology but Adebayo is not listening to it.  Maybe if she was more involved in Wassner’s well-being, he wouldn’t have taken his life.  Kensi tells Adebayo that Wassner was murdered.  Adebayo is stunned.  After speaking to Kensi and Fatima, Adebayo spoke to her sailors.  An Ensign Choi saw a sailor named Bradshaw on roving watch.  This was around 1AM.  Fatima is going to get Master Chief Hughes to set up an interview with Bradshaw.  When Fatima leaves, Kensi calls into Kilbride and Shyla, updating them on Bradshaw.  Shyla has a time of death – around 2AM.  Also, Wassner wasn’t hanged, he was choked to death.

From his office, Kilbride reads Kensi Petty Officer Dennis Bradshaw’s background.  From Alabama, Bradshaw lives there with his wife.  Their financials are odd.  He’s has a separate account with $50,000.  Kilbride doesn’t believe Mrs. Bradshaw knows about that second account.  And all the money was deposited into the account in cash.

Walking into Ops, Shyla has more on Bradshaw.  While Alabama is his home, he did not fly home when on three-months of leave in recent months.  Instead, his cellphone was pinged in San Pedro.  Bradshaw spent a lot of time in business called The Brass Boot, owned by Rondel Fryer.  Fryer was administratively discharged from the Navy.  As soon as he was out, investigations were started into tax evasion, fraud and money laundering.  Investigations but no convictions.  The Admiral asks about foreign connections and there are running phone calls with someone in China. 

With Wassner’s position as an electronics technician, he had access to radar and ship technical data.  Shyla thinks Bradshaw was selling Wassner’s intel through Fryer.  If something went wrong, and Wassner learned Bradshaw was selling his data to a civilian in China, that could lead to a fight.  It could also lead to Navy secrets being in the hands of China.  Kilbride want Deeks and Rountree to interview Fryer.  When Fryer’s background as an MMA fighter and the owner a large cache of weapons, Kilbride wants Sam to join Deeks and Rountree – “day off be damned.” 

At the wedding planner’s office, Callen is stuck on question eight.  Anna won’t let Callen “cheat”.  Callen grabs Anna’s paper.  Anna grabs Callen and pushes him onto a couch.  They are not fighting anymore.

At The Brass Boot, Rountree is alone when Sam arrives.  Deeks had a deposition – Kilbride knows.  Rountree asks about Kam, “the first future woman President of America”.  Sam mentions a paper, “tolerating” him at best.  Rountree brings up Jordyn but Sam is not interested in any Rountree lessons right now. 

Walking into the bar, Rondel Fryer tells the “gents” – Sam and Rountree – that they aren’t opened yet.  Sam says “federal agents” and since we’ve all seen this show, Fryer runs.  Rountree chases, sliding over cars, jumping over beer kegs.  Sam pulls up in his car but Fryer already ran into an alleyway not no exit. 

Walking back into her office, Tara finds a rather disheveled Callen and Anna.  They thought the questions were great but they have to go.  Tara looks at her messy couch.

Kensi and Fatima find Master Chief Hughes, who was looking for them.  Petty Officer Bradshaw was in an accident on the flight deck.  He’s in the trauma room in sick bay.  Kensi and Fatima are on their way to sick bay.

Saying he thought Sam and Rountree were the IRS, Fryer ran because they are harassing him.  Sam shows Fryer a photo of Bradshaw – was he ever in the bar.  “I’m not at liberty to say.”  Rountree sees that as a yes.  Sam accuses Fryer of selling Naval Intel and being part of the murder of a Naval Officer.  Fryer explains that The Brass Boot isn’t just a bar, there is a private club in the back.  It is a safe space for military men, Hollywood types, executives who want to keep their private lives private.  It is a part of a different time.   Rountree realizes it is “a gay speakeasy.”  Seeing himself as a guardian angel, Fryer explains that being gay may not get you beaten up on the streets anymore but “how many gay global action stars do you see starring in Hollywood movies?” 

While that explains the bar set-up, Rountree asks about the calls to China.  Fryer’s brother teaches English in China.  After the brother went through a rough patch, Fryer lent him some money.  The brother has been wiring Fryer money every month to repay the loan.  Fryer makes it clear, he didn’t kill anyone.  He’s there to let people be who they really are.

In Ops, Shyla confirms all of Rondel Fryer’s story.  Other than the IRS, everything about the bar is above board.  Perhaps Bradshaw and Wassner were involved in a relationship.  And maybe something went wrong – breakup, one person wanting to go public when the other did not. 

Fatima calls into Ops, Bradshaw wasn’t hurt at all.  Hughes lied, which means the two are working together.  The Admiral and Shyla try to figure out if Hughes and Bradshaw are a couple, where did Wassner fit in.

Outside Master Chief Hughes’s bunk, Petty Officer Bradshaw is banging on the door, begging “Jalen” to come out.  Bradshaw tells Kensi and Fatima that Hughes has a gun and Bradshaw fears Hughes may kill himself.  In his room, Hughes has his gun out.  Explaining that he didn’t mean to hurt Wassner, it was an accident.  Kensi says it is going to be OK as she inches closer to Hughes.  Bradshaw understands, telling Hughes that he lived too many years in shame.  Hughes says he’s so tired.  Kensi gets the gun away as Hughes keeps apologizing.  Fatima is able to cuff Hughes.

In the office, Deeks tells Sam and Rountree that Wassner found out Hughes and Bradshaw were a couple.  He didn’t plan on telling anyone but Wassner freaked out when Hughes tried to bribe him with a recommendation for a promotion.  Sharing some beers, Deeks understands Hughes and Bradshaw keeping  their relationship on the ship quiet but didn’t understand keeping it from their families.  “Sometimes the hardest people to talk to are family,” Sam says.  Deeks agrees – “exhibit A, Roberta Deeks.”  Rountree agrees as well.  He doesn’t tell Jordyn everything and he knows Jordyn doesn’t tell him everything.  But Rountree’s doesn’t think any of this makes sense - that Hughes thought of bribing Wassner because Wassner saw him kissing Bradshaw. 

It makes to Kilbride.  In 1991, the year Hughes joined the Navy, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” started its 20-year run.   Many gay members of the service were beaten, assaulted and killed but there are no stats for that because it wasn’t counted.  What was counted was the 100,000 service members who were discharged.  Hughes was from a different time.  While Kilbride isn’t always a fan of the younger generation, he likes that they aren’t afraid of someone who is different.  They may not understand the other person, but they aren’t afraid.  Rountree says Deeks still freaks him out a little.  That kills the moment. 

Arriving home, Kam wound up making the meatloaf for Sam.  Sam tells Kam that he always hoped that he and Michelle created an “empathetic environment” for Aiden and for her.  That the two would never feel like “our compassion was conditional”.  Kam knew this.  Sam tells her he knew that she broke up with Josh and that she may be dating a woman.  Kam wants to know if Aiden told Sam.  Sam is not happy that Kam told Aiden first.  Kam says Aiden wasn’t told, he just figured it out. 

Sam makes it clear, he would never turn his back on her.  Why didn’t she tell him?  Kam explains that she really liked all the guys she dated.  And she really likes the woman she is dating now.  She doesn’t know if she’ll go back to dating men again or if she’s going to only date women.  She’s figuring things out and she didn’t want to tell anyone until she knew.  Sam ticks off the reasons he loves and admires his daughter – brave, smart, courageous.  None of that changes based on who she is dating.  He will always love her.  Sam asks if Riley, Kam’s girlfriend, has a 4.0 GPA, works with a number of charities and has a prestigious internship set up for the summer.  Kam explains she’d never settle for anything less.  The two have dinner.

What head canon can be formed from here:  There was a good episode to be done about the military’s history with gay service members but this one isn’t it.  In fact, the best part of the episode was Kilbride’s thoughts at the end about how gay service members are treated now compared to when he was a younger man. 

A very siloed episode – had a COVID season feel.  

Liked seeing the Kensi-Fatima friendship in the armory.  The program’s long-running friendship between Kensi and Nell is missed.  Callen and Sam are bros, Kensi should have a friend not named Deeks.

Kam telling Aiden first is a nice bit of continuity.  Kam also told Aiden first about her car and her volunteer work.  Sam assuring Kam that his love for her is unconditional was good to hear but even better to know that Kam didn’t need to hear it, she knew it.

 Of course Fatima knew a high end wedding planner.

Episode number:   This is episode 14 of season 14 – two-thirds of the way there.  It is episode 316 overall.

Watching the new episodes of Criminal Minds: Evolution again.

Under a Read More for those avoiding spoilers.

+ Point of clarification: did they retcon that JJ & Will never moved to New Orleans, or are we to believe they moved away then back at some point? -> answered in Ep 2 Will says "since we got back".

+ Garcia's "I used to be good at that" re: putting on English mannerisms made me smile bc callback to when Emily was at Interpol

+ Luke is a sweet sweet guy. I like him a lot, though to be honest I don't pay that much attention to him (because my attention is elsewhere *cough* Prentiss).

+ something really rubs me the wrong way about those "hers" antidepressant ads. They seem kind of creepy / dystopian?

+ I hope we get to know some of Penelope's new friends a bit.

+ it still really cracks me up that Garcia uses such tricked out GUIs on her computer. That shit takes up RAM and makes everything hard to see. Because computer nerd on (network) TV. But also, good for her.

+ the whole SOAR concept is too funny. No one born before the millennium has access besides PG? Does she code and maintain the whole thing all by herself (obvs not)? Are the engineers also only 22 and younger? (this would become a legal issue of ageism in hiring!) Also "unhackable"...so there's some kind of elaborate and potentially invasive verification system to prevent catfish accounts? Really. And once you age out of SOAR are you just thrown to the 30-50 feral hogs with the rest of us?

+ EMILY PRENTISS YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL GORGEOUS SHOWSTOPPING I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU

+ second time around I continue to appreciate AJ Cook's well muscled shoulders.

+ I'm very happy they got Zach Gilford for this role. Who knows if the writing will ultimately be good (lmao), but he has the range.

+ Director Noodle at it again, throwing a tantrum because Emily Prentiss did not bow to his will. Section Chief Foxiest Silver Fox does not simply roll over and obey (in her professional life at least).

+ lmao the not-an-Oscar-Wilde-quote quote attribution is so unnecessarily dumb

+ Emily & Tara are a great duo. Friends, crime-fighters, (etc!), they just stand up well to one another. The vibes are fabulous. It's the dynamic closest to what Emily had with Derek, that comfortable teasing and trust.

+ also noting that Tara asks Emily if she knows Rebecca Wilson, and apparently she does - enough to know she's at the DOJ. Perhaps they've worked on case(s) together before. Orrrrr maybe they met at some LGBTQ Feds networking event. 😏 Emily does give her a very warm smile when Rebecca shows her face at the BAU.

+ The way Zach Gilford asked unsub #2 "are you disobeying me?"............I don't know, it made my ears perk.

+ in the Garcia / Rossi scene, there is much to enjoy. The insight into Garcia's mindset. Rossi's resigned "I did. I kept falling asleep." I can't help but laugh at PG fully saying "Licensed Clinical Social Worker." I appreciate the specificity, but it's a whole mouthful!

+ fucked up that Garcia's login credentials still work. Any self respecting agency would make you change your password every 3-6 months at least, not to mention she's No Longer Employed There. But who needs real administrative mess when you can have loony toons (plot-based) administrative mess?!

+ Tara wearing a lot of plaid and window pane patterns. Aside from the obvious, it's just a nice costuming choice that remains kind of conservative but sets her apart from the others.

+ Most of the wardrobe is in blues and browns and grays. I wonder if this will change as time goes on (i.e. will Garcia bring the color back) or if that's going to remain through the whole season.

+ Okay, but did y'all also catch the weird look that Rebecca & Luke exchanged in this briefing room scene? It seemed like more than "close the door". Is there some kind of history there?

+ Oh this show is so silly!!!!! So silly, and it still makes me happy. Incredible.
