On June 29th, R&B singer and producer Robert Kelly, best known by his stage name R. Kelly was sentenced to 30 years in prison by New York Federal Court after being convicted in September of 2021 on charges of racketeering and sex trafficking. The sentencing was announced after many of his victims tearfully shared the impact his graphic abuse of them has had on their lives. This conviction and sentencing come nearly thirty years after the singer began facing allegations ranging from rape, possessing child pornography, marrying a then-15-year-old Aaliyah, having his own sex cult, and more.

In the weeks leading up to the sentencing, xoNecole spoke with four Black women activists who work diligently to address sexual violence within the music industry and writ large on R. Kelly’s conviction. Now that Kelly has been sentenced, we’re sharing our conversations with each one, condensed below: author and founder of the Me Too movement Tarana Burke (featured in the docuseries Surviving R. Kelly and the Russell Simmons documentary On The Record) and the founders of the #MuteRKelly movement Kenyette Barnes and Oronike Odeleye (who also appeared in Surviving R. Kelly ) and author and activist Sil Lai Abrams, who shared allegations against Russell Simmons in The Hollywood Reporter and the HBOMax documentary On The Record.

xoNecole: I also invited journalist and Surviving R Kelly documentarian dream hampton who declined an interview but did provide a statement:

“As someone who wants to believe in restorative justice, I think this could have been the beginning of actual healing and justice had R Kelly, at any point, admitted to the harm he's caused for decades. His victim should have a financial fund from which they can draw to rebuild their lives. He could have changed the culture by being accountable in this way. He could have opened up a conversation where predators and abusers could enter too. Which is radical. But no, he'll have his sentence meted out to him by a broken system. He will continue to have the currency of love and devotion by countless Black people, even as he spends these years in prison. It is all a shame.”

xoNecole: What was your initial reaction to the news of R. Kelly’s conviction?

Tarana Burke: I was asked this question when [Harvey] Weinstein was convicted when [Bill] Cosby was convicted and it stays the same: these convictions are not a victory. I understand the catharsis for the survivors. There is a duality, that you have an immediate sort of excitement that feels like we have *something.* Right? You can’t help it. I think that’s human nature. That feeling of we have something, especially as Black women. Because we never get anything. So, I think there’s that first wave of that.

And then there’s the immediate slap in the face – especially if you engage in anything public, like social media or walking down the street – of the rejection of that. So my reaction came in stages, is what I’m explaining. That first stage of sort of surprise and relief that we got something. And that something is acknowledgment of that – even from a f-cked up system – an acknowledgment that our trauma and our pain deserve acknowledgment. It deserves accountability. You have that first wave and then you get slapped in the face with “no, it doesn’t.” I don’t know if we even had sixty seconds of whatever that first wave was. I get settled in just the catharsis of the survivors. It’s like they get a chance to breathe after holding this sh-t for so long. They get a chance to be like, “I get to hold something.”

Sil Lai Abrams: I was not surprised because the conviction was the result of decades of lobbying by activists and advocates. In many ways, his social currency in the Black community was diminished in a way that would enable a conviction to occur in the criminal legal system. To dream’s point, the system as it exists is not one that takes into consideration the needs of survivors or even those that have caused harm. He’s being used as a totem in many respects and I believe that his conviction in some way shields other people who cause sexual harm because I think that society can look at him, point to what will occur with him, and say, “You see? The system works because R. Kelly went to prison.” When in fact, his incarceration does nothing to address the systemic nature of sexual violence and the very broad ways in which harm affects our entire society.

Oronike Odeleye: Honestly, my first reaction was relief. I was relieved for his victims because they have been gaslit for years about the abuse that they’ve suffered. I was also relieved for myself. This has been a long journey that I did not mean to embark on [as a founder of the #MuteRKelly movement]. It’s been emotional and hard, so I’m glad that my part was over and now someone else can take over. And I was relieved for our community because for so many people, a lot of the visceral and emotional reaction they had to this was not necessarily about R. Kelly but about their own interactions. Their own experiences of abuse and trauma that they had carried, a lot of the secrets they had carried and they wanted to see justice play out. I was relieved for everyone involved.

Kenyette Barnes: It was very complex emotions. There was sadness of course because no one wants to be a part of perpetuating a broken system that over incarcerates Black bodies. However, thirty years has gone by and nothing has been done. And on several occasions, I believe that Robert Kelly had the opportunity to fix this in some way and didn’t. So my feelings were sadness because I feel like why did it get this far? My next emotion was a sense of relief for the survivors. They had been fighting for years. The #MuteRKelly movement had put that advocacy on a global stage. And through strategic organizing had resulted in a financial boycott of his music. We received some backlash and unfortunately, this accountability included the criminal justice system.

xoNecole: It’s been nearly thirty years since allegations against R. Kelly first started. Why do you think it’s only now that we’re seeing a conviction?

TB: There had to be like six exposés. I feel like The Miami Herald did one. The Chicago Tribune did one. The Village Voice did one. And so, it’s not from lack of media coverage. It’s not from a lack of raising voices. Every Black woman journalist that I know has been raising their voice across social media. More than one social media campaign. Because #MuteRKelly preceded #MeToo going viral. People conflate those two. The #MuteRKelly hashtag started in August of 2017 after the article came out in Buzzfeed. It got amplified after the #MeToo movement went viral [in October 2017]. So, it took all of that and then the documentary to get people to pay attention. But it was like we had to stand on our heads and light ourselves on f-cking fire in order to get one singular Black man. There’s this narrative about the Black man being targeted. It’s so crazy because that was the singular person. And to your point, we’ve been talking about him for nearly twenty-five, thirty years. And it took that because of that famous Jim DeRogatis quote from The Village Voice where he says the one thing that he’s discovered in all these years that he’s been chasing R. Kelly is that nobody in America matters less than Black girls. I’m paraphrasing the quote, but I’ll never forget reading that quote. This is a sixty-something-year-old white man from Chicago who writes about rock n’ roll, who just on his own was so bugged out about how no one was paying attention to R. Kelly.

SLA: The #MuteRKelly campaign is really the driver behind this push for accountability, this incarceration, without which I don’t believe this would’ve occurred. It took a certain amount of critical mass to come together. They had built a groundwork and a framework for the campaign in the years preceding the #MeToo era. So when #MeToo exploded in 2017, it just facilitated his downfall, so to speak, because there was such a tremendous body of work, of evidence that had been collected and been disseminated for at least three years, I think. So, I believe that is a large part of why this has happened.

In addition, our views around sexual harm have evolved. And even now when someone is now “legal,” [i.e. age 18+] that is no longer seen as a shield against allegations or recognition of predatory behavior. So, for example, you could see an 18-year-old in a consensual – “consensual” – relationship with a 45-year-old and people don’t respond the same. People will call that out and note the disparities in power between the two parties. And I think that’s a big part of it. There is a very slow shift that’s going on in online discourse and I think that’s very healthy. I think another reason why change is happening is because many of the barriers that existed before such as all-powerful public relations agencies and representatives for some celebrities are no longer as effective because social media has had a democratizing effect upon those who recognize harm is occurring.

OO: I think so much has changed within our society. The way we talk about sexual abuse, the way we think about rape. The way we now have vocabulary around grooming. The way that we understand consent. The way that we talk about adulthood and childhood are different than when these allegations first came out thirty years ago. So, I think we are in a place now, to really reckon with all the things that he’s been doing. I think the time that it came out, the idea of these rampant groupies I guess a very dominant idea. We did not think about women’s bodies in the same way. We really thought about women’s bodies as the spoils of war for rich and famous men.

KB: Because they were Black girls and we didn’t give a damn. Even in the space of defending Blackness against white supremacy, that Blackness is Black masculinity. It is not Black femininity. We look at rates that over 60% of Black girls are going to be a survivor of sexual assault before her 18th birthday. Sexual violence as a practice tends to be intraracial.

xoNecole: Even with the conviction of R. Kelly which has been a long, long time coming, the culture that created him and allowed him to thrive still exists. What do you think it’ll take to finally dismantle rape culture within the music industry and writ large?

TB: This is the magic question. I think we have to have a huge culture shift and I think it has to happen from multiple directions. The example I use all the time is cigarettes. A little over thirty years ago, we could smoke on airplanes. Most people under a particular age don’t remember that. I remember when you could smoke on airplanes, in clubs – everywhere. And that’s how I grew up. Sitting in the back of my father’s car with the windows closed and he was smoking a cigarette. Then there was a huge concerted effort to shift how we thought about smoking cigarettes. And it’s obviously a very different paradigm, but the reason that I use it is because when I think about how they came at that, it was political, because laws had to change that said you can’t smoke in public places. It was a public narrative. We had major campaigns but also you don’t see the Marlboro Man anymore. Cigarette smoking was cool because everybody did it everywhere. It was a part of the culture that was just sort of ingrained. The way that rape culture is so ingrained that it's natural to us. So there was a political intervention, there was a cultural narrative intervention. There was a research intervention. All of a sudden there was all this research on how second-hand kills. Obviously, people still smoke now. But the culture around smoking today and the culture around smoking thirty years ago are completely different. I think about shifting rape culture the same way. We need multiple interventions.

SLA: Going back to what dream said, I think that there needs to be a space in our society where people can actually acknowledge the harm that they’ve caused in a way that’s not going to be met with highly punitive measures. We have to look at the ways in which sexual harm is fostered. It happens everywhere, the music industry is an easy scapegoat. I honestly don’t have an answer if I knew what it would take I would be extremely wealthy. I don’t have the answers, I have some ideas but everything is connected to something else. I’m a huge advocate for restorative justice and our existing system just doesn’t work when it comes to facilitating some kind of redress, for harm period, but particularly for sexual harm. As dream had said, because Robert refuses to take responsibility, it doesn’t even open the door to any type of restorative action. But also, I don’t want to forget that we can posit about restorative justice and restorative practices and how I think that would be an appropriate way to proceed, but the people whose voices matter and who's going to drive restorative justice are his survivors. So if his survivors don’t want that to occur, I can’t offer that as a unilateral response that’s going to address things. Some might want to see him incarcerated. That’s their choice. I’m not going to shame them for it.

KB: I think what #MuteRKelly did was a direct attack at the music industry. And it was one of the first campaigns that really directly targeted the sexual oppression of Black women and girls. I think we’re going to have to continue those conversations. I think we’re going to have a call-in of the entertainment industry. We saw people like John Legend and Chance the Rapper really speak against this, but we need more.

Guest stars of note: Duncan Campbell returns as Agent Castor, Tyler Poelle is back as Corey the Coroner. Isabella Hoffman is Miriam Sivac, Yssa Mei Panganiban is Angela Pak, Chad Addison is David Milton and Kevin Stidham is Brian Hudson.

Our heroes: Go to a funeral in their Sunday best.

What important things did we learn about:

Callen: Still looking for Katya. Sam: Going to Hampton University to speak about a scholarship named after Michelle. Kensi: Worried about leaving Deeks at the memorial service. Deeks: Knows how to properly chlorinate a pool after effects of a decaying squirrel. Fatima: Gets a lovely offer from the Admiral. Rountree: Knows he’s breaking Hanna Family rules, just doesn’t know which one. Kilbride: Cited in his first divorce for being a gambling man.

What not so important things did we learn about:

Callen: Driving the hearse Sam: On Lombardi Time. Kensi: Somersaulting her way to safety. Deeks: Yenta. Fatima: Apartment hunting. Rountree: Took a public speaking class. Kilbride: Apartment finding.

Where in the world is Henrietta Lange? No mention today.

Who's down with OTP: Kensi and Deeks joke about his interest in their new neighbor to start the episode. At the memorial service, Kensi is very worried about a missing Deeks as she leaves with Callen in a hearse. Fortunately, Deeks is in the back of the hearse with the dead victim.

Who's down with BrOTP: This was more a Sam and Rountree episode. Rountree wants to learn from Sam, wants to help Sam when he can. Sam is, well, Sam. Callen and Kensi work well together. Fatima and the Admiral are a good pair too.

Fashion review: Callen is wearing a blue and white plaid button down shirt. Sam is in his typical work-out gear – a black long-sleeve tee, black shorts, black socks. Later, he is wearing a different black long-sleeve tee. Kensi is wearing an olive green tee-shirt while Deeks is wearing a black one when they get to the office. Fatima is wearing a long-sleeve, dark blue turtleneck top with lighter blue stripes. Rountree starts the episode wearing a charcoal grey workout tank top and then is in a dusty pink tee-shirt. Dark blue three-piece suit for the Admiral with a blue and white checkered (tiny checkered) shirt and red tie.

At the memorial service, Callen is wearing a dark grey suit with a white dress shirt and a blue-grey tie. Kensi is wearing a long-sleeve, black dress with some black lace in her hair. Deeks is wearing a catering outfit – white dress shirt, grey vest and tie, black pants

Music: Mozart’s Symphony No. 36 (the Linz Symphony) was playing in the teaser. Josh Rennie-Hynes’s “Day Rage” was playing at the end of the episode.

Any notable cut scene: The DVD box says yes, the DVD says no but “Fukushu” has a deleted scene that isn’t in the mix. It looks like shooting these episodes and airing them out of order messed everything up.

Quote: Miriam: “I'm not a monster.” Deeks: “You had your stepson murdered.” Miriam: “ Well, he was trying to cut Dominic and me out. What was I supposed to do?“ Deeks: “I don't know, not have him murdered.” Miriam: “We don't betray each other in my family.” Deeks: “Then you probably shouldn't kill each other either.”

Anything else: Callen and Kensi are involved in a shootout/car chase. They are in a hearse, where Kensi never thought she’d actually die. The two – and a casket in the back – are boxed in by heavily-armed bad guys who box in the vehicle. Callen thinks this is why you shouldn’t make plans.

Eight hours earlier, Sam and Rountree are in the boatshed in their workout clothes. Rountree is confessing that he feels he broke a Hanna House Rule without actually breaking one. He arrived at 6AM, Sam agrees. Rountree just wants his life lesson but Sam isn’t giving lessons. Rountree considers his first day with NCIS a lesson. It wasn’t to Sam, it was an opportunity. Rountree talks about Sam giving him not only a copy of “The Things They Carry” but Sam’s personal copy. That was a lesson. It was a suggestion, according to Sam. When Rountree admits he signed up for a survival class with the “Sam Hanna 50” discount code, Sam has had enough – they have to work out.

The pair running nine-miles today, not the usual 10. Sam is going to DC with Callen. Rountree thinks this is a Kilbride assignment but it is not. Hampton University, a HBCU, created a scholarship in Michelle Hanna’s name. Sam is giving a speech. Michelle always believed that Hampton was who she was. Rountree is impressed. He offers to help Sam with his speech since he’s closer in age to college students than Sam. Sam has two words – no way.

In a driveway, a young woman is getting in her car when Callen approaches. Asking if she’s Angela Pak, the woman runs. Pak runs behind a big wooden fence along her home, picking up a small flower pot to defender herself. Callen is right behind her, identifying himself as NCIS and showing his badge. “And that’s supposed to make me feel better?” Callen wants to ask a few questions but Pak has to go to work. Callen says the few questions are about Kate Miller, Pak’s ex. Pak freezes.

Kensi and Deeks arrive at the office, he’s talking about some sacrifices in a marriage that are work fighting for. Kensi is not interested in the conversation. He is since two people in love should be able to overcome all sorts of circumstances. If Kensi would just listen to him, it wouldn’t be a shock. Kensi is busy unpacking her bag at her desk. Kensi asks what is so shocking. Deeks shocks her with the word “divorce”. But it isn’t their divorce, it is Raquel’s. Kensi realizes that Deeks is talking about their new neighbor, Rachel. Deeks likes to talk to on trash days. Kensi calls him a Yenta. He thinks he’s striving for knowledge and a human connection a century before his time. Kensi tells him that is “Yentl”, the movie. Deeks is not going to apologize for bonding with people, it is what makes him a great special investigator. Kensi reminds him he’s an investigator, she’s the special agent. Deeks demands someone change his title so of course, Kilbride shows up from the coffee area. Since the Admiral doesn’t run his office like a preschool, Deeks will actually have to do something to get a reward.

Angela Pak calls Kate Miller a “virus” who is hard to get rid of once she’s taken a hold. She apologizes to Callen for running, she’s paranoid even though she and Kate broke up a long time ago. Callen explains that Kate is really Katya Miranova from Russia. Pak thought Katya was from Barstow. The two didn’t break up when Katya went to prison, they were already finished at that point. Callen points out that Pak was at Katya’s arraignment. “It’s cute that you think I had a choice,” Pak tells him. Both agree Katya gets what she wants. After Katya broke out of jail, Pak moved, took herself out of social media and has been in hiding. Callen asks for help but Pak won’t. She realizes that Callen is looking for Katya because Katya got close to someone involved with Callen. Callen offers his card. Saying that Pak double locks her door and runs from strangers, she’s never going to be free until Katya isn’t.

In Ops, Fatima is trying to sweettalk a landlord into renting her an apartment. It goes poorly. She grumbles in frustration just as Admiral Kilbride walks in. As she tries to explain, the Admiral admits he doesn’t want to know. Fatima tells him anyway. She’s looking for a new place to live because she wants to move out of her parents’ home. Inventory is tight and whatever is available is really expensive. Again, the Admiral is not happy. He has a case for Fatima. NCIS is taking over an ATF investigation of stolen/missing weapons. 500 shotguns, rifles and pistols are in the wind. ATF is still mourning their dead agents so NCIS is helping. The ATF has a prime suspect but he was murdered three days earlier. Fatima asks if the dead suspect was a renter.

In the boatshed, a sore Rountree is talking to Fatima via plasma screen when Sam joins in on the conversation. Fatima knows Rountree was late because of Lombardi time. Rountree knows Vince Lombardi but had to be reminded that Lombardi time means if you are five minutes early you are already 10-minutes late. Sam just wants to work which is exactly what Kilbride wants. Fatima recaps the case – four-days ago a truck was stolen from a rest stop in Tujunga, en-route from Phoenix to a gun shop south of LA before going to Camp Pendleton. The suspect in the case, Anders Sivac, was found stabbed to death the morning after the truck was stolen. He was living in Brentwood but grew up in Malibu and every other expensive neighborhood in LA. The Admiral tells the three that Anders is the son of Marten Sivac, the well-known LA crime boss. The senior Sivac was accused of a number of crimes but never found guilty. Like his son, the older Sivac is also dead. Found at the bottom of Lake Arrowhead three-years ago. The family has had no legal trouble since the old man’s death.

Sam figures that a privileged kid like Anders could have blown through his family money in a hurry and restarted the family business, a family business he may not have been smart enough to run. The Admiral thinks finding who killed Anders Sivac is likely the easiest way to find the weapons. Callen and Kensi are on their way to see the coroner, Deeks is going to interview Miriam Sivac, Anders’s mother. Sam and Rountree are off to interview the truck driver.

Corey the Coroner from previous episodes is grabbing a soda from a breakroom machine while talking about playing music at his own wedding to two highly disinterested co-workers. Callen and Kensi arrive with their congratulations. The future Mrs. Corey the Coroner is Chloe Morris, FBI Agent Zoey Morris’s cousin. Getting the case, Anders Sivac was found in Griffin Park off Fire Road near the Observatory, stabbed 22-times. The time of death was 9PM, an hour before the guns were stolen. So either someone wanted to cut Sivac out of the deal or they found out about the deal and decide to make it their own.

Deeks pulls up at a well-appointed home. Before he rings the bell, the door opens. The woman at the door tells Deeks to hurry on in but keep his shirt on this time. Deeks thinks there has been a mistake. The woman agrees – the neighbors wound up taking photos. But while Deeks is there, she’d also like him to take care of the dead squirrel in the pool. Deeks explains he’s not there to clean the pool, he’s there to talk about her son Anders.

The woman, Miriam Sivac, makes it clear that Anders was her stepson. He was also “a son of a bitch. Believe me, I knew his mother.” She and Anders were estranged. Deeks asks why. Over her 20-year marriage to his father, Anders never approved of Miriam. He also didn’t approve of her moving on with her life once Marten died. And she’s moved on many, many times. The Sivacs are a complicated family, they’ve seen their share of death.

Deeks asks if Anders had any enemies. Miriam doesn’t think he has time to list them all. Deeks thinks she does, especially since he knows who to properly chlorinate a pool after an unfortunate rodent issue at no cost. He’s invited in.

Corey returns with a lot of files and some attitude toward a co-worker. The coworker isn’t invited to the wedding since he’s allergic to shellfish. Chloe loves shellfish and other expensive things so Corey is selling vitamins at night for extra money. Anders Sivac was found wearing an expensive watch with a wallet full of cash. This wasn’t a robbery gone wrong. Callen sees some ink on Sivac’s wrist. It is a stamp from a nightclub. Fatima is going to check out the stamp to see if they can find where and who Sivac was with before his death.

At the truck depot, Rountree thinks Sam should start with a joke. Sam only wants to talk to the driver. Rountree explains it is for the speech. He took a public speaking course once. Sam is back to the case. Knowing that the quickest way from Phoenix to the gun shop was on the 10. The rest stop was on the 210 over 20-miles away from the 10, something was up with the delivery. Rountree thinks maybe the driver was padding his mileage for some extra cash or was looking for a place to eat. Sam wants to ask the driver, who shows signs of being beaten. When Sam says he’s from NCIS, driver David Milton takes off.

Rountree catches up with Milton after some stopped truck parkour but Milton escapes by taking off his zip-up hoodie. From a platform, Milton tries to jump Sam but that gets him tossed to the ground quickly. Milton has a baton and tries to swing at Sam’s feet. Sam evades Milton’s baton as Rountree arrives. When Milton takes a second swing at Sam, Sam winds up with the baton and Milton on the ground.

Handcuffed to the truck, Milton tries to explain that he was getting coffee when he was knocked out. An extra $20,000 in Milton’s bank account right after the guns were stolen. The money was paid out over three-days so the bank never flagged it. Milton is now officially their top suspect and will likely be charged with aiding terrorism. Saying he’s not a terrorist, Milton claims to be broke. He put up an ad on the dark web about the guns and turned a blind eye so they could be stolen.

Sam shows Milton a photo of Anders Sivac. Milton confirms that Sivac was his contact for most of the transaction but at the last minute, someone called and changed the drop off point from Griffith park to Tujunga. Rountree asks if Milton was beaten by the new contact. No, Milton’s younger brother did the beating with a 10-pound weight. When Sam wants Milton’s truck, Milton asks if he can be released, he’s learned his lesson. Sam just walks away while Rountree explains that Sam does not give lessons.

Fatima calls Callen and Kensi with an image from Sivac’s handstamp. While she was working on the project, she missed out on another apartment. Kensi asks about the stamp, a “V” with what looks like a snake around it. Corey the Coroner clears things up, it isn’t a snake but a ball python. He’s working weekends in the reptile section of his local Petco for extra money as well.

The stamp is from the Vandergrift Hospitality Group which owns a number of bars and clubs in southern California. Sivac disabled the GPS in his car and phone so she has no ability to figure out where he was. Callen has a thought about opening times for the bars and clubs. Since Sivac was killed around 9PM and none of the clubs opened until 10PM, that narrows the search to just the bars and the bars near Griffith Park. There is just one, Sanctuary Bar. Fatima starts pulling the security video.

On the phone, the Admiral is speaking about his disdain for “this Botox-ed juice shack of a city” to Sam and wants to speed up the case. Sam recaps the case in a good piece of exposition. Rountree arrives with news that the man who picked up the guns from Milton used a burner phone that called an insurance broker. The insurance broker is likely the buyer. Agent Castor is getting the insurance broker to the boatshed where Sam and Rountree will interrogate him.

While Fatima waits for a warrant for the security footage, she found security footage for free at a nearby construction site. There is footage of Anders Sivac walking into the bar alone but leaving with Miriam Sivac. This after Miriam said she didn’t see Anders in weeks.

As Miriam Sivac returns to her pool area, Deeks confronts her about the footage. Miriam reminds Deeks that she has a card for her lawyer nearby. Deeks pushes forward, asking if she killed Anders. She couldn’t kill a squirrel – she married into the family, not born into it. Deeks thinks she’s a liar. Miriam confirms that the family knew what Anders was doing. He was a terrible mix of “cocky and sloppy” when it came to business. She tried to talk him out of it. He didn’t listen and got himself killed.

Deeks asks if any other family members would kill Anders for the guns. Miriam is done answering questions. She’s off to Anders funeral. Deeks thinks the funeral is a good place to see if anyone associated with the killing looks guilty by not showing up to pay their respects. When Deeks says he’s joining her at the funeral, Miriam makes it clear that nobody will talk to Deeks. He knows that so Miriam is going to get him in a different way.

At the memorial service, Deeks is working as a waiter, Kensi is dressed in black mourning. Deeks doesn’t want a funeral, just wants to be composted. Kensi doesn’t want him with the weeds in their garden. She is donating her body to science. Deeks points out that they don’t have a garden because she can’t even keep a cactus alive. Kensi asks Callen what sort of funeral he wants, Deeks thinks Callen would want a Viking funeral. Callen agrees but only if he can use Sam’s boat. Callen is outside near the hearse. Deeks’s tray is a camera so he is taking photos of the people at the service. Kensi is planting microphones at the different tables.

Sam and Rountree arrive as the boatshed just as Castor sets up the insurance broker in interrogation. The broker thinks he’s there to set up a deal. He quickly learns he’s sitting on the wrong side of the table. The broker tries to leave but it is made clear, he’s not going anywhere until he starts cooperating.

Kensi comforts one of the mourners using a slogan from the catering truck. The mourner is a family doctor who is likely just there to pay his respects to a former patient. Deeks comes across a couple who own several businesses related to the Sivacs. Neither are suspects since the husband was out of town with his mistress and the wife was in Aspen with her best friend’s husband.

Callen photographs a man walking into the service while Miriam Sivac approaches him. She knows he’s NCIS. When Callen says they shouldn’t be seen together, Miriam is not worried. “Everyone already knows how fond I am of the help.” Callen is a little surprised that Miriam isn’t more helpful. She turns it right back on Callen – the only thing NCIS cares about is the guns, they don’t care who killed Sivac. Callen disagrees. Miriam makes it clear, there are people at the service who are very dangerous. She would be killed for bringing in law enforcement. She’s helped as much as she can.

Sam returns to interrogation. The broker’s office is a front. No computers, no desks, no chair – just rented office space. Rountree tells the broker that they know he was planning to buy the guns. The broker is sure planning is not a crime. Sam assures him, it is. Since the broker doesn’t have the money for the guns yet, he can’t complete the deal. NCIS will provide the funds, Rountree wants the deal set up now. The broker makes the deal, Sam and Rountree are on their way.

Fatima updates the Admiral on Sam and Rountree. Fatima took Callen’s photo of one of the service’s attendees, Dominic Carson, and traced his long criminal record. Fatima is tracking his movements before Anders’s death. Carson is Miriam Sivac’s son from her first marriage. “I’m guessing she kept that from us for a reason,” the Admiral surmise. Kensi sees Miriam talk to Carson. Carson turns to Kensi, who realizes they’ve all been made.

By the catering truck, Deeks is attacked by one of Miriam Sivac’s men. He’s cut in the forearm by his attacker’s knife but gets away before more damage is done. Callen sees Carson flee. He and Kensi get into the hearse but not before Kensi looks around for Deeks. They have no time so they take off.

The action goes back to how the episode began. The car/hearse chase with shooting. Boxed in, Callen and Kensi hear from the Admiral, who wants a sit-rep. Callen asks about Sam and Rountree but they are in the warehouse trying to recover the stolen weapons. The window between the driver and the back of the hearse rolls down and Deeks joins the party. Kensi thought she smelled fish.

Sam would like things to move along, he and Callen have a plane to catch. Callen still needs to pack. The Admiral would like to retire at some point so he’d like the team to spring into action. Deeks pushes Anders out of the hearse. For reason only known to the bad guys, they shoot at the casket and not the people inside the hearse. Kensi does a summersault out of the hearse and shoots Carson’s bodyguard. Deeks yells “federal agents” so one casket shooter points his weapon at Deeks. That was a fatal mistake. The other surrenders. As Carson tries to drive away, Callen stops him. Claiming he’s hot and sweaty, Deeks wants to go home.

At the warehouse, Sam and Rountree distract Carson’s men long enough to engage in some slo-mo hand-to-hand combat. Sam gets to throw another bad guy to the ground and Rountree joins in on the fun. That gets a little smile from Sam with a “late again” comment.

At the office, Fatima is writing up some reports when the Admiral arrives. He jokes about her moving into the office. He recaps the case. The Admiral sent Fatima a number. An old colleague owns a number of apartments. He forwarded her his number. Fatima doesn’t think something makes sense. The Admiral thinks she’s talking about the apartment but she’s not. Instead, it is about where the money NCIS wired to Dominic Carson wound up.

In the boatshed’s second floor interrogation room, Deeks is talking to Miriam Sivac with a rather large bandage on his forearm. He thinks Miriam got sloppy, she blames the martinis. Miriam claims not to be a monster, even having her stepson murder. But it is a family business and Anders was cutting out Miriam and Dominic. “You to betray each other in this family.” Deeks doesn’t think they should kill each other either.

With 20-years in the family, she wasn’t going to let Anders take away her share. She went to the bar with an ultimatum to Anders. Miriam lawyers up. Deeks has one last question – did she kill the squirrel?

Callen is back at Angela Pak’s. She was surprised Callen never asked about her record. He didn’t see the relevance. Pak did. She stole files from her law office. She didn’t go to jail but she was disbarred. The arrest was when she was with Katya. Callen knew it likely had something to with Katya since Pak was never in trouble before or after. Pak thinks she can trust Callen. He assure her she can.

Admitting she hates who she was with Katya but hates even more that she can’t remember the person she was before Katya, Pak offers a Callen a key Katya left behind. It opens a safe deposit back. A horn honks – it is Sam. Callen thanks Pak as he leaves. She does not double lock the door behind him.

Outside the house, Callen tells Sam he’ll buy what he needs in DC. Sam hasn’t written his speech yet. As Rountree did earlier in the episode, Callen suggests starting with a joke.

What head canon can be formed from here: This episode, which was the first shot of season 13, had a real season 12 feel with the majority of the characters siloed into their own storylines. Callen worked with Kensi, Sam was with Rountree, Fatima and the Admiral were a pair while Deeks was solo for most of the episode. Yes, Kensi and Deeks arrived together, yes, Callen and Sam drove away together but mostly everyone was with their assigned mini-team.

Nice to see highly capable Deeks in most of the episode, the Rachel/Raquel conversation aside.

As for head canon, the Admiral has a first divorce and not just a divorce which means there are likely a few former Mrs. Hollace Kilbrides. The beginning of the nice Fatima-Kilbride relationship starts here. Rountree sees Sam as a mentor/teacher.

Episode number: This is episode 284 overall, the fourth episode of season 13.

Shivers (David Cronenberg, 1975)

Cast: Paul Hampton, Joe Silver, Lynn Lowry, Allan Kolman, Susan Petrie, Barbara Steele, Ronald Mlodzik, Barry Baldaro, Camil Ducharme, Hanna Poznanska. Screenplay: David Cronenberg. Cinematography: Robert Saad. Art direction: Erla Gliserman. Film editing: Patrick Dodd.

Shivers is a kind of zombie movie, except that the zombies aren't out for brains, they're out to get laid. And they aren't really dead, but just under the influence of a parasite that unleashes their libidos and eliminates their inhibitions. It takes place in a high-rise apartment building on an island near Montreal, where a doctor has been experimenting with parasitic organisms that could potentially eliminate the need for transplants: Instead of having, say, a kidney transplant, why not remove the diseased kidney and replace it with a parasite that, in exchange for a small amount of the patient's blood, would perform all the functions of a kidney? But the parasite he's working with has the unfortunate effect of producing the symptoms described above -- which is fine with the doctor, because he thinks human beings are too sexually repressed. It's a clever premise for a horror movie, and totally in keeping with writer-director David Cronenberg's exploration in his films of the unfettered id. Unfortunately, it was made a few years before its time, so Cronenberg has to be more discreet in his depiction of the orgies of the victims of the parasite than he might have been a few years later, and the budget for the film was obviously scanty. It's shot in a rather muddy but garish color, and the lighting is flat and harsh. There are a few familiar faces -- of the "where have I seen him/her before?" order -- among the actors, but mostly it's a cast of hard-working unknowns. One of Cronenberg's first features, it's a good sample of the better-made horrors yet to come.

Whether you remember it as The Parasite Murders or They Came from Within, David Cronenberg’s early horror film from 1975, Shivers, is one of cinematic curiosity, taboo/body-horror, and skin-crawling terror. Produced by Ivan Reitman, the film features the beautiful Lynn Lowry and the stunning Barbara Steele along with character actor supreme Joe Silver with the calm, cool, and collected Paul Hampton in the lead. Oh, yeah, and dozens – if not hundreds – of sleazy, slimy, fat, worm-like mind-altering monsters. Cronenberg made a career of pushing the celluloid limits and Shivers is a perfect example of what is to come from Canada’s top master of horror.

At the time of this writing, Shivers is available to stream from Wicked Horror TV, Tubi, and multiple PPV sources. The film is also available on physical media as a Blu-ray in the Vestron Video Collector’s Series from Lionsgate.

Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1970s is part of the Decades of Horror two-week rotation with The Classic Era and the 1980s. In two weeks, the next episode, chosen by Chad, will be Black Magic (1975). Abracadabra, Shaw Brothers please, and thank you!

"Oof. Hey, handsome! Missed me?"

"Mmh."

"-oh, woah. Why haven't you mentioned a thing?"

"Eh, it's just something I've been doing to pass time."

"You wrote a book-"

"It's pretty fucking far from being one without a shitload of editing."

"-that counts! I hardly get my reports written. Where did you send it?"

"Just to a few publishers... I doubt it'll raise interest. I used a pseudonym, so."

"I take you didn't include a picture of yourself then, either? Too bad. That would've been a sure seller."

"Yeah, whatever about being anonymous, I should've put full nudes on the cover letter. How didn't that cross my mind?"

"We could still fix that! My cell has a fairly good camera-"

"Since when you've been interested in photography?"

"Oh, you know. I happen to have an eye for this subject..."

"Jonas! There was- ooh! You won't kiss me, but you kiss him. Because he's a male? Partially true. Can I watch? I already do. Very interesting. Very different to-"

"Mmph- fuck off, Hanna."

NCIS: LOS ANGELES: “Sorry for Your Loss” – Teaser/Act One

We’re Opening with the Callen/Kensi sneak peek. This is good because I just got off the phone. Priorities family members.

Eight hours earlier, Roundtree is feeling bad that he broke a Hanna family rule. At 6AM, he’s late to the boat shed. Roundtree and Sam are working out together. Callen and Sam are flying to Hampton University – they are offering a scholarship in Michelle’s name. Michelle believed Hampton made her the woman she was. Sam is giving a speech. Hampton is one of the Historically Black Universities.

Callen meets with a woman named Angela Pak. She takes off when Callen says her name but he meets up with her. Angela is Kate Miller’s (Katya’s) ex.

Deeks and Kensi are talking divorce – Rachel’s/Raquel’s (Kensi’s thought of her name/Deeks’s thought of her name). Kensi doesn’t think Deeks should be too involved in the neighbor’s business. They have a long conversation about special agent or investigator and Kilbride arrives. Deeks can’t be a special until he proves himself.

Angela calls Katya a virus. They broke up a long time ago. Callen gives poor Angela a full run-down on Katya. Prison wasn’t the end of their relationship, things weren’t that simple. Angela ran when Katya broke out of prison. She hasn’t heard from Katya since. Callen asks Angela for her help. Angela isn’t interested – she moved, took herself offline – she’s can’t help Callen. Callen gives Angela her business card and a warning – Angela will never be free until Katya is caught.

In Ops, Fatima is selling herself as a prospective tenant. The Admiral arrives and isn’t the least bit interested in Fatima’s living situation. He is more interested in the case he sent up – NCIS is taking over an ATF investigation into a large supply of stolen weapons. ATF is down a few agents and looking for some help. They were stolen four days ago – the team is behind learning if the weapons are being sold or being used to arm a small army. The main suspect is dead. Fatima wants to know if the dead guy rented.

𝐲𝐨𝐮 , 𝐦𝐞 , 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐲𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐭 𝟑 .

as new york’s wealthiest offspring ditched their rochester prep brooches for sweaters of their future colleges and left their multi - million dollar mansions to cram it up in the freshman dorms middle class style , they left behind more than their material posessions ; they said goodbye to their high school lives and friends as well . while some may have toted off together to the dream colleges they’ve been talking about since their preteens , others became so entangled in the rigorous demands of the real world that it’s been years since they last talked to the people they once considered their family . this summer , twelve former friends come together and rent out a house in southhampton ( with daddy’s money , of course ) with the intentions of rekindling once strong bonds , getting way too fucked up , and having the best three months of their lives before returning back to their separate lives . between beach days , clam bakes , and yacht parties , they’re bound to become entangled in interpersonal drama .

tldr : kids who used to go to high school together spending the summer in a shared house in the hamptons . essentially just a fun summer rp !!
