Dilf!SF9

Epidose: you touch them while their kid sleeps in the next room

Pairing: Sf9 x gn reader

k/n = their kid's name

This is sooo domestic. I hope you enjoy it!

Warnings: mentions of sex, bad language

Bonus song rec: Don't wanna say, by Lauren Jauregui

suggestive content under the cut

Youngbin:

Youngbin voices your name one, two times. You ignore it, insisting to suck on his collarbone, that damn sic parvis magna tattoo lured your lips. He had opened a few buttons of his dress shirt right after he got home from work. He reproaches you a third time, his tone is actually lenient. As indulgent as he can be when his daughter refuses to eat because she feels unwell. "k/n's just fell asleep. You know she sometimes wakes up..." he tries to dissuade you.

His hand wrapped a handful of your hair, he threatened on pulling you away from him but could not finish the move. "Shit" he repeats as much as he repeated your name seconds earlier. "Just don't go much further for now."

Inseong:

Inseong enters the bedroom after fitteen minutes. His hair is all messed up, which tells you that he was lying down with his boy while telling the craziest stories a man could conceive. You loved that about him. "What were we talking about again?" he asks with the intention of resume it from where you stopped when his child called him.

"It doesn't matter" you reply right away and hold him by the waistband. The way your index finger hooks past the fabric draws a chuckle from him. He directs his eyes toward the door, still wide open. "Don't worry yet" you assure. He holds his gaze - as alert as he can - on the entry while you work on making him feel good through his clothes.

Jaeyoon:

To be realistic, Jaeyoon is the first to lock the door once his child is in bed. His baby girl knows well how to knock and fortunately, she sleeps like an angel. You sometimes get worried. "Honey, you're insane" you moan low as he cups your breasts underneath your blouse. K/n gifted you with such a cute garment before the dinner, you know she had chosen it by herself because it was pink. Anyways, Jaeyoon went shopping with her and paid for it, hence he felt in the right to take it off of you.

"I will stop it if you tell me to" he tenderly remembers touching noses with you. You shake your head slowly, in a way that makes your noses brush. The scene feels cute despite the fact that your tits are cradled by your boyfriend's naughty hands.

Dawon:

"Baby, are you still watching this movie?" Dawon asks through laughter once he finds out that you kept invested in that animation even after k/n fell asleep. "That's a cool story" you explain collecting the remote control. "I'm gonna pause it here so k/n can resume it later"

It's afternoon but everything is absolutely silent. Dawon deliacately pulls you down on the mattress, you could take a nap too. He rests his eyes closed and pushes his leg on top of you so you won't move away. However, instead of closing your eyes too, you start scratching his thigh in a very inappropriate way. He does not take much to start humping you like a teenager. "The things you make me do" he whispers. "I'm giving us 15 minutes and you better swallow all your delicious moans"

Zuho:

That little cutie simply consumed all your batteries in the amusement park. Juho did everything his child needed as soon as you all arrived home. You even offered to give him a helping hand but he expressed clearly that you did amazing in the afternoon and needed some rest from his kid.

Once, k/n fell asleep, your boyfriend let his body drop beside you on the couch. "Are you staying for the night?" he asked, softly playing with your hair, his deep voice sounded worn out and even sexier thanks to it. You answered with a stroke along his thigh, ascending to his crotch. "We deserve wrapping this day up, right?" he suggested, immediately showing you his darkening eyes.

Rowoon:

Seokwoo came back to the scene of his daughter dozing off on your thighs. You smiled shyly, not knowing what you have just done. The girl simply laid closer and napped straight after a few strokes on his scalp." Are you a child whisperer?" your boyfriend asked with humor while analyzing the little girl. She was acting up because she had lost a few pieces of a puzzle, then he went to the kitchen, but now she was peacefully asleep!

Daddy took his young rebel in his arms and put her in her bed. "She's really something" you commented when you all were finally alone in the bedroom. "But his dad is also fascinating" you added suggestively touching his clad abdomen. Rowoon looked to be unable to do anything but observe your hand. "Go easy, y/n" he voiced without moving a single muscle to stop you.

Yoo Taeyang:

Taeyang caught you still tenderly admiring the seashells that his daughter brought from the beach. He stayed silent for a while until you noticed his warm presence. "You're slowly becoming friends" he affirmed. You could see how much it affected him by the sparkles in his eyes so you signed to him to come closer.

As he hugged you firmly and nuzzled onto your neck, you breathed satisfied and held him by the butt cheeks. He laughed. "I'd think you want something nasty if we haven't just come back from the purest day out". You pulled away to look at his eyes and nodded. Taeyang widened his eyes in amazement "What about doing it in the bathroom?"

Hwiyoung:

"Babe, you got new tattoos" you voiced playfully when Youngkyun squatted down to pull Lego pieces from under the table. He turned his head back to comprehend what you were talking about. His face denoted confusion. "I mean that one on your arm" you explained through laughter and pointing in the direction so he could verify it.

"Oh, this" your boyfriend figured out after spying on the drawing made with a pen. "He's been drawing everywhere". You looked at Youngkyun as he stood up and walked toward you. The urge to grab his hips was irrefutable so you landed your hands there and said what crossed your mind. "There's something I wanna draw on you". He nodded, nibbling on his bottom lip "We need to lock inside the bedroom for it, right?"

Chani:

From the entrance, you observed Chani skillfully slide his son onto the bed. He actually sensed it when he was taken away from his dad's arms but Chani easily shushed him into slumber. He looked for your eyes there in the doorway and winked, he looked just a bit cocky about excelling the parenting thing.

"Any plan for tonight?" he asked as soon as the door clicked shut. "We can do anything except noise". You pondered, your index finger slowly playing with his lips while you decided how to say it. "I don't know whether this is appropriate, love". He tilted his head, so you demonstrated it for him by rubbing your front against his. "Oh? You're talking about that, right?" he assured with a brand new demeanor. "Sweetheart, I'm a dad, not a saint"

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".

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.

Dopamine is named for the emotional rollercoaster of her last several years, the peaks and valleys of a life she has mostly kept private. In 2020, Normani's mother was diagnosed with breast cancer for a second time after being in remission for 19 years. The following year, just when Andrea had finished chemotherapy, doctors found a lump in her father, Derrick's, prostate: He had cancer, too. Normani considers herself closer with her family than her friends. "I needed to be at home, with my family," she says. They both urged her to keep working on her album though, and not to defer a dream they'd all participated in since Normani was 3 years old.

Normani Kordei Hamilton was born in 1996 to a mother who was a flight attendant and a father who was a union official. The family moved from Atlanta to New Orleans in 1999, and whenever her parents were away for work, her grandmother, Barbara, would take care of her. She was 3 when she fell in love with musicals. She remembers watching John Huston's 1982 film, Annie, and turning to look at her mother, saying, "Mom, I want to do that, I want to be in the TV." Her parents took her seriously and enrolled her in dance classes; it was Barbara who paid for them and sewed all of her costumes. By the time she was 8, she'd grown fond of the dance-focused music videos she'd see on BET's 106 & Park and would do the choreography for Destiny's Child tracks with her friends at birthday parties. (They were partial to "Soldier" and "Cater 2 U.") Ordinarily, Normani was shy and quiet. But when she performed, she would become someone else.

When they snuck back into the city to recover some of their belongings, her parents found the neighbor's shed in their pool. Their family photos were all destroyed. They took what they could, left behind the pet turtles, and decided to start over in Texas. "We were in the car," recalls Normani, "and my mom asked, 'Do you want to go to Dallas to see your godmother? Or to Houston? I hear Beyoncé is from there.'" She laughs. "That was the deciding factor." In Houston, they stayed in a hotel for four months, deleting their savings and stretching their food. Normani, who was entering the sixth grade, struggled to adjust in school before deciding to be homeschooled. This gave her the space to commit more fully to dance, gymnastics, and singing. Her mother would crisscross the states every weekend to bring her to dance competitions and shuttle her to Los Angeles for various auditions. (At 13, she briefly appeared on HBO's Treme, as a child caught in a post-Katrina New Orleans.) At 15, she got on X Factor. The judges (Britney Spears, L.A. Reid, Demi Lovato, and Simon Cowell) didn't think she was ready for a solo career, but Cowell and Reid thought she had potential in a five-piece outfit. They merged her with four other young women, Dinah Jane, Lauren Jauregui, Camila Cabello, and Ally Brooke, who had also auditioned as solo artists, and had them sign a joint record deal under Reid's label Epic Records via Syco Music, the same Cowell-owned label that backed Little Mix, CNCO, and One Direction.

Fifth Harmony became one of the most commercially successful girl groups of all time over a span of six years, selling 33 million records. For Normani, the group was a blessing that also traumatized her. She refers to her "time in the group" like a prison sentence ordered and duly served. But she says she was grateful for her ability to hide. "I didn't want to be at the forefront," she says. "It wasn't until later that I started feeling like a token."

When Normani came out with her single Wild Side, it was nocturnal and assertive, but with a hint of playfulness. Normani believed in the song enough to fund the music video herself, which cost upwards of $1 million; it's a psychedelic, gravity-defying montage of leopard print, crushed velvet, and acres of glistening skin that sees the singer phasing through cielings, doing the splits in full leather, and dancing with a doppelganger like the closing scene from Annihilation.

"My mom says she wants a tattoo," Normani shares with a flutter of laughter. "It's funny because growing up, she was always like, 'It's not worth it to get your bellybutton pierced or to have tattoos. Your body is a temple.'" Normani has two: the bootlike outline of Lousiana on her right ankle, and the phrase "God's Daughter" in script on her clavicle. Both were impulsive decisions. "Because I think so much and I'm so intentional when it comes to music-related things, or anything to do with my career, when it's something outside of that, I allow myself to move before I can second-guess myself," she says.
