A little bit of courage | Bradley Bradshaw

Pairing: Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw x female reader

word count: 1.7k

warnings: all the fluffs

if you want to be tagged on everything tgm or on everthing rooster related, let me know down below in the comments! (with some love, very much appreciated! ❤️)

“Can you say that again? I want to check that I didn’t hear you wrong,” you say, feeling a ton of butterflies in the pit of your stomach. And not the good ones.

Rooster chuckles, taking one hand from the wheel to grab yours. “I said,” he kisses your knuckles and keeps looking ahead, “that I want you to meet my family.”

“Oh, yeah. I heard you right.”

“Are you scared?” Rooster asks, stopping the car at a red light and looking at you.

“Scared of meeting the people you work with, and not only that but also Maverick, who is not only your boss but also the closest thing to a father you have?” You look at him with wide eyes and a trembling smile, giving away your true feelings. “How could I be scared?”

“Honey, you know Phoenix and Hangman already.”

“But I haven’t met all of them at the same time!” You reply, covering your face. “Okay, just tell me when, so I can get mentally prepared for it.”

Bradley doesn’t respond for a few seconds before turning to the right and parking the car in front of a two-story light blue house. There are a few other cars and some bikes parked in the front, and you can hear animated conversation in the backyard. “...now?”

“Bradley Bradshaw, you have the worst timing in the history of timings.” You groan, looking at your brand new dress that he bought for you. “So that’s why you bought me this? So I didn’t get angry?”

Bradley pouts, looking like a child who has lost his favorite toy. “Are you angry?”

“I should.” You reply with a stern tone.

“But you aren’t, right?” He leans closer to you, pecking you on the cheek. “Right?”

“Don’t think kisses will fix this.” You scoff, grabbing your bag.

“Well, it depends on where I kiss you. I'll show you tonight."

You feel your face burn at the teasing tone on his voice, and the silent promise of fun activities that might take place tonight. “Let’s get inside before you start something here.”

Bradley gets out of the car, adjusting his clothes. Yellow Hawaiian shirt over a white t-shirt, and jeans. “You’re way too loud for that, baby girl.”

“Bradley!”

"Come on, everybody is waiting." He says, placing his hand on your lower back and leading you to the backyard.

Bradley's family is sitting under the brown cedar outdoor pergola, talking and laughing as the day fades and the San Diego sky darkens. Phoenix and Hangman, the only two faces you can recognize, are talking with a blonde man with glasses. They seem to be sharing something from the past with the other man, because she keeps shaking her head every time Jake speaks, as if he weren't telling the story as it really was.

There are more men and two other women, one of them seems pretty young. The blonde girl turns in your direction when he sees Bradley walking towards them, and when her face lits up, you know that she must be Amelia. Bradley talks a lot about her.

“Roos!”

“You need to stop growing up, look at you!” He gets closer to her, hugging her tightly and messing with her hair.

“Hey! Don’t do that.” She whines, fixing her hair with her fingers, before turning to you. “You’re y/n! Bradley talks a lot about you.”

Bradley’s ears turn red, and he clears his throat. “I don’t talk a lot. Just the normal amount.”

“Puh-lease, Bradshaw. You literally spent three hours talking about how marvelous she is, how beautiful she is, how she is the most-”

Bradley covers her mouth with his hand before she can keep embarrassing him. “It’s all lies.”

You nod, tightening your lips in a thin line to not smile. “Sure, all lies.”

“Come on, I’ll introduce you to the rest.” He grabs your hand and walks you up to his family. “Hey, where’s Mav?”

“He’s with Mickey at the BBQ.” A woman with long, dark hair says, getting up from her seat. She’s Amelia’s mom, Penny. “And you, my dear, you must be the girl that has Bradley wrapped up around her finger.”

You chuckle, looking at your boyfriend. “I think it’s the other way around, ma’am.”

You spend the next few minutes getting introduced to the other aviators and learning their names, their call signs, and the stories behind them. It feels like you're part of the family already.

Maverick walks out of the BBQ station, Mickey close behind him, and places large amounts of meat on the dinner table set under the patio lights suspended from the big porch's ceiling. You don’t know who is behind the decoration, but they know how to create a cozy, inviting ambience.

“Hey, Mav! Want you to meet someone.” Bradley speaks when the whole group reunites around the dinner table.

“Oh, you’re y/n? And here I am, all greasy and sweaty.” Mav chuckles, offering you his hand.

“That’s like your everyday outfit.” Penny chimes in, making the rest laugh.

“Ignore my wife, please. She’s on a crusade to make me look like an idiot.” Maverick explains, rolling his eyes.

“You don’t need any help with that, honey!”

“I’m Pete Mitchell, but everyone calls me Maverick. Or just Mav.” He shakes your hand, chuckling at the fit of giggles around the room after her last dig against him.

“Nice to meet you, sir.”

The night goes on smoothly. Small conversations over the most delicious food, laughs, jokes, happy memories, and sad ones are shared... When Rooster told you about his family and how none of them were blood related to him, you were a bit skeptical about it. But seeing the way they talk and share stories, how they always have each other’s backs, how they make plans for the near future and for the distant future, knowing that no matter what life has in store for them, they will be there, makes you realize that this found family is in no way inferior to any other one.

If any, it puts many families to shame.

“He loves you.” Maverick says, sitting next to you once dinner is over, and everyone is scattered around the backyard, some of them even playing a game called, dogfight football. You’ve never heard of that before.

“You think?” You ask him, playing with the edge of your dress. You haven’t said that yet. Not because you don’t feel it. You love him, and you’re sure of that.

But somehow... it never seemed the right moment.

“I know. I’ve known him all his life. He has it written on his forehead.” He chuckles, watching Bob fall to the ground trying to catch the ball.

“I don’t know, Mav… We’ve been together for a while now, but… Maybe he’s not ready for a-”

Mav raises a hand, stopping your train of thought. “He has lost every single member of his real family over the years, and for a while, he was alone. I wasn’t the godfather he needed, and I almost destroyed his career.”

“What did you do?”

“I pulled his application from the Naval Academy,” Maverick admits, feeling horrible.

“Oh god… Why would you do that?”

He sighs, weighing his options. “His mother asked me to. He doesn’t know.”

The news come as a shock. Why would he tell you this? He just met you! And now, you have that feeling of knowing a secret that you shouldn’t.

“Mav… why are you telling me this?” You ask, wanting to know why he is trusting you with such information.

“Because I want you to know that the other important woman in his life, his own mother, didn’t think he was prepared for being a fighter pilot.” Mav explains, watching Rooster and Hangman run around the backyard. “People have been underestimating him all his life. They thought he wasn’t prepared for the Navy, they thought he wasn’t prepared for the uranium mission…”

“Uranium mission?”

“That’s classified.” He grabs your hands, squeezing them a bit. “What I’m trying to tell you is that you may think that he’s not ready for a serious relationship, but he brought you here, with his family. He is ready.”

You stop for a second, thinking about the implications of his words. He really did that.

“He has brought you here, wanting to show you the family he has. The family that he wants you to be part of.” He insists, turning his head to look at all the members of this small but lovely family.

“I’m not an aviator, Mav. I don’t fit in”

Mav shakes his head. “Nobody wants you to fit. You’re different, and different doesn’t mean bad. It means that you have other specialties, and that we can learn a lot from you.”

“I don’t have a lot to teach y’all.” You chuckle, looking at your hands.

“I think you do. Bradley says that you encouraged him a lot on this last mission.”

You smile, remembering Bradley sitting down on the kitchen table, looking at the report in his hands, wondering if he was able to pull it off, or if he was going to burn in. “He can do whatever he wants. He’s more capable than he thinks.”

Maverick nods, kissing your hands before getting up. “And that’s why you’re here, love. To remind him that he can do whatever he sets his mind on. Even when the rest of the world tells him he can’t.”

When Maverick walks away, you stay there for a while, thinking of everything he has said. Maybe he really is prepared for that serious relationship you crave. Maybe he just needs a bit of encouragement.

“Honey, are you okay?” Bradley’s voice startles you, making him snort when you jump on the bench you have been sitting for a while. “Sorry.”

“Don’t worry. I was just… thinking.”

Bradley sits with you, removing his shirt and putting it over your shoulders. “About what?”

“About how much I love you, how proud I am of you, and how glad I am to finally have met your family. Nat and I are going shopping together next week.”

Rooster smirks, liking his lips, while an airy laugh leaves his body. “You realized what you’ve just said?”

You nod, kissing the corner of his lips. “Want me to say it again?”

He shakes his head, grabs your chin between his thumb and index finger, and lifts your head so he can look you in the eyes. “I love you too, y/n.”

He leans in, kissing you softly and lovingly, and he’s worried that you can hear his loud heartbeat.

“So you only needed a bit of courage, huh?” You joke, placing your head on his shoulder.

“What do you mean?”

“Nevermind.”

Gojo at the Beach

notes - BABE HI <3333 I love this literally so so much! I know that he does go to the beach in season 2, but I haven't seen it yet, so I'm making this up lolol but no i love this idea so much and I love YOU so much! Now let's bury bbygurl in sand <3

I made the goofiest ass graphic and im not even mad because it's THAT stupid

bro sunburns so easily

^ LOOK HOW PALE HE IS

^ please pack sunscreen for him because we all know he won't

maybe he's good at swimming, maybe he's not, but it doesn't matter because i know that he's the dude who plays dead to see if you'll notice

^ ignore him, it's funny. like just sit with your sunglasses and watch him float face down

all these girls oggle over his body, which rightfully upsets you, especially when he plays into it

^ you have permission to actually drown him :)

he is too good at volleyball, and too strong (almost knocked out a child)

he will draw wieners in the sand

^ please stop him from doing that

always loses a flip flop whenever y'all go

wears dad Hawaiian shirts when he knows he's getting too burnt on his body

and flamingo sunglasses

don't let him BBQ please thank you

he will fall asleep and burn if you're not careful

^ with food in his mouth too dfksljjkdfkjfd

when you bury him in the sand though, he loves it and really makes a deal with you to see if you can dig a hold deep enough to completely bury him

^ you want that twenty bucks so bad that you end up winning by a lot

ohhhhhh my god guys I gotta give you an update but i need to explain my entire job history for the past year first cause its a little confusing uh.

so feb-may I did this internship at this real estate digital marketing firm and I was just making social media graphics there. just instagram stories and shit. and it was boring as hell but I needed to find a job cause I was graduating, and I was hoping they would hire me but they didnt have the space for a new full time employee at the time so... that was a bust.

in june and july I was applying to jobs foreverrrrr and getting nowhere so I said fuck it i need SOMETHING to hold me over, so I started working in the print department at staples as you are all well aware. at least it would be relevant enough to put on my resume cause I do want to make print graphics right? so its something.

then like 6 weeks ago my manager from the internship reached out to me and said she wanted to take me back part time after all. so for the past month and a half I've been working 2 part time jobs, one at staples and one at this marketing office doing the exact same fuckass ig stories as before. i wont lie its been exhausting and unsustainable so I was still applying for other full time design jobs cause I had no idea how long I could keep this up.

about 3 weeks ago I got an interview for one of those jobs I applied for and they explained that they were actually looking for a senior designer which obviously im not qualified for, but they liked my portfolio enough that they wanted to consider CREATING a junior designer role for me which was CRAZYYY to hear... it's a hawaiian bbq restaurant chain and I'm definitely wayyy more interested in designing for food and beverage stuff than real estate, plus a few other aspects about the job sounded really appealing to me and the interview went great so I was really hoping to get that job. but then I didn't hear back and Im so desensitized to getting ghosted after interviews i stopped getting my hopes up a long time ago.

a week and a half ago management at my real estate job told me that they were finally ready to bring me on full time, and since it didnt seem like I had any other prospects I wasnt really in a position to turn it down, so I immediately accepted and put in my 2 weeks at staples. this saturday will hopefully be the last day i ever have to work retail forever. I didnt make any announcement here when I found out because its honestly been making me depressed thinking about doing nothing but making fuckass instagram stories for ugly real estate companies 40 hours a week and people congratulating me on it would just make me more depressed. I wasn't supposed to start full time there until the monday after thanksgiving so ive still been doing my double part time grind.

but then......

whats that....???

THE HAWAIIAN BBQ RESTAURANT ENTERS WITH THE STEEL CHAIR!!!!

after weeks of no response the hr guy finally gave me a call just now to tell me I GOT THE JOB?!??! i genuinely honestly did not think they were gonna give me an offer and was just gonna move on with my life 😭 so now im gonna have to walk into my office tomorrow morning and say SIKE!!! and theyre all gonna be so mad at meeeee but this is genuinely such a better position for me I didnt think this was gonna happen for another year at least....

tldr I thought i was gonna be stuck with a job i dont like but I ended up getting the job I want!!!!!!!!

I’m so glad your back!!, how was your holiday? Also I have a few questions.. if you don’t want to answer them all, that’s fine!

1:What kind of music does Ben listen to?

2:How are you?

3:Am I allowed to make my own OC’S?

4:do the decepticon’s celebrate any holiday’s?

5:Has ben ever accidentally called Omar dad or Ronan Uncle?

Hello hello! It has been interesting! Working on some art, attended my family's new year eve Hawaiian-themed bbq party (that was fun!), played some Coral Island (super good, would recommend).

He listens to a wide variety of stuff, but he likes dance tracks in particular. You'll find a lot of these meshed up in between music from ballet recitals and whatever rock and alternative HotRod and Memo have introduced him to on his Ipod.

I am feeling a little better mentally and emotionally! I am under the weather physically currently though, but that's clearing up!

Oh man, please go ahead! Ties That Bind has been an open sandbox for folks to make their own OCs and write their own stories for a very long time.

Cons don't really have special holidays, but I believe they do commemorate the Fall of the Senate in liberation terms.

Yes for Omar. Mainly because it's easier to slip into 'dad' when he's been yearning for a proper dad all this time rather than 'uncle'.

Hello yes hi, I would pretty please like Mr Frankie Morales with "I can't get enough of you" (I forgot the number in the five seconds between seeing the post and opening this ask, clearly a Good Memory Day over here...) thank you very much :)

Haha, it doesn't matter what number it was, the line is more than enough! Thanks for the request! Oh Frankie my beloved! I mulled this over for a couple of days because that line is hot as hell and there are so many directions to take it. I eventually wrote something a little silly because Frankie is, above all else, a silly lil shit <3

Warnings: Mention of PiV sex, fantasies of getting dicked down but nothing too graphic, public boner.

Summary: You and Frankie are at a BBQ and the sight of you in a sundress puts Frankie in a state.

The late afternoon sun lays its heat over Will's backyard and the people there, enjoying the summer's first cookout. The setting is as old as time: the men are gathered around the grill, holding bottles of beer while looking important, and the women are helping Will's girlfriend to lay the tables and keep the side dishes filled.

Then there are men like Frankie, who doesn't care about traditional gender roles but gives a hand where it's needed, if for nothing else then just to be close to you. It's not a surprise to you: you barely made it to Will and Steph's place at all, what with Frankie going so crazy at the sight of you in a sundress. The man knows what he likes, and he really likes his woman in a sundress. As if your day hadn't started with morning sex, then a quickie at lunch, he still found the juice to bend you over the bathroom sink and hitch up the skirt of your dress, pull your panties to the side, and take you five minutes before you were supposed to be out the door. You arrived late to the cookout, of course, but nobody noticed, or at least nobody cared. It was a day of not caring about anything except grilled ribs, coleslaw, and getting tipsy in good company.

You're at the table, talking to one of Steph's friends, sitting astride the bench so that you can face her without having to twist your neck, and you're putting away watermelon slices like they're the air that you breathe. Your fingers and lips are sweet and sticky with the juice, and just as you're reaching for a napkin, Frankie appears next to you. You smile up at him, gloriously backlit by the sun like a ragged, slightly pudgy Greek god in a baseball cap, shorts, and Hawaiian shirt.

"Hi baby. You okay?"

He sits down behind you, fitting himself to your back, arms going around you as he presses a kiss to your neck, his face angled so that the bill of his hat won't bump into your head.

"I'm perfect."

You go on talking to Steph's friend, now a little self-conscious about Frankie's embrace - public displays of affection like this when you're trying to carry on a conversation with someone else isn't really your cup of tea. Still, it's hard to tell Frankie not to be Frankie. The man will literally glue himself to you every chance he gets, for some reason.

Finally, your company excuses herself to go to the bathroom, and you lean back against Frankie.

"What's up?"

"Saw you eating watermelon and I thought, I gotta get into that," he tells you in a low voice as he catches your hand and raises it to your shoulder where he can reach it, and starts to suck on your fingers. Your gut drops immediately and you grow wet.

"Frankie," you whisper, "not here."

"I know," he murmurs back, his low baritone running down your spine, right to your clenching ass cheeks. "I just had to. You taste so sweet, querida."

"You're insatiable," you smile, drinking in his praise as the heat rises in your cheeks. "Three times wasn't enough?"

"Never," he vows, hugging you tighter to him. "I can't get enough of you. You're so fucking gorgeous, I can't believe my luck."

"I'm the lucky one," you assure him just as a whistle echoes over the yard.

"Burgers are ready!" Will calls out, and you pat Frankie's knee.

"Come on, you'll want a burger, right?"

"Not yet." Frankie puts his hands on your waist, keeping you where you are. You're getting hungry for a burger yourself, but he just shakes his head at you.

"Let me at least sit facing you - "

"No can do."

You glare at him over your shoulder, asking him with one look what he's playing at. He has the decency to look ashamed.

"I'm in a predicament," he admits, a little blush creeping up on his cheekbones. "And I need you to sit there until I'm... no longer in one."

"Oh. Oh." You now become aware of the predicament against your ass. It's not a full-on predicament just yet, but you know how fast this kind of thing can escalate. "Maybe not keep your hands on me?"

"It would look weird if we sat like this and I wasn't touching you," Frankie protests, dropping his hands from your waist to your thighs, just where the fabric of your dress ends and your soft flesh begins. Yeah, that's going to make things better.

"Not there!" you whisper, shifting to get his hands off you.

"Don't move like that, you're making it worse!" he groans, making fists with his hands on your thighs. You sigh and try to think, your own arousal making it hard to focus. The situation would be funny if you didn't feel the very physical and acute need to be bent over again, right over this bench, and have this darling, easily excited man push into your throbbing pussy and fucking nail you to the wood underneath you...

You're alone at your table now as everyone else is flocking to the grill to get their burgers. You look around and realize that the coast is somewhat clear.

"Okay, I'm gonna get up, and you can turn towards the table and hide it. I'll get food for both of us and you can just sit there and... calm down."

"Thanks," Frankie sighs in relief, yet his face conveys doubt. "You don't think anyone will be suspicious?"

"What are they going to do, dive under the table and stare at your crotch?" you huff, and that makes him laugh. You take the opportunity to stand up and shield him from the others with your body as he shifts. You take off his hat, press a kiss to his forehead before putting the hat back on and loudly proclaiming that you'll get him a plate as well.

"Save my seat!"

"I'll have something for you to sit on when we get home tonight," he mutters as he rests his forearms on the table, back bent to hide his embarrassment. You laugh and swat him playfully over the head.

"That's not going to help," you remind him helpfully before joining the other guests at the grill.

Wellness Wednesday:

Losing My Cool

I've never been this irritated with working out.

I can't wait for this to be over... but... the finish line is soo close - I feel obligated to stick it out.

For the last week or so it has been taking me hours to get motivated to workout. Which ends up making me stay up later than I want, which affects my sleep, which affects my work/attitude.

I could go for a break, but then I know my weight/progress will probably go to crud and then I will be more disappointed and feel guilted into working out more.

My Burritos were the only saving grace this week... but... also the reason for my extra workouts... because, ya know... dem Burritos were stacked.

...

"Dem Burritos Were Stacked"...? What does that even mean?

Weight As of Noon, 11/15/2023: 0.0 lbs

Closing Thoughts:

The Good:

Did you see my meals for Thursday through Sunday... I was in Burrito Heaven!

The Bad:

My Deep, Coveted, Passion for Burritos/Mexican cuisine heavily outweigh my desire to workout. I've been working out almost ever single day for 10.5 months and I can honestly say I am NOT addicted to working out and still despise it to my very core. This week it has abundantly apparent that I am ready for this challenge to be over.

Speaking of addiction... I may problem with my Popcorn intake.

The Ugly:

Holiday Season is officially stressing me out... Dredding the the final 6 weeks of the year.

Levi is sitting with the Lynch family as they get ready for pizza night.

Everyone is ecstatic when Luis comes home with the boxes of pizza and a plastic bag full of sodas. Evidently this place has a great reputation for delicious pizzas.

Eliza takes some of the boxes and sets them on the stovetop, looking for her veggie supreme on cauliflower crust.

Reuben sneaks his box of BBQ brisket pizza and takes one of the 2-liter sodas and walks off to his room.

Levi sits there, nervously tapping his fingers on the table.

Luis check up on him “hey, are you okay?”

“Hm, oh I-I think I am okay.” Levi replies “I am not used to being down here during dinner.” Luis could see the excitement was getting to him a bit.

Luis pats his back and walks back over to the stovetop, grabbing a pizza box and a smaller box and bringing them over.

“Here, I got you some chicken wings too.” He said setting them down in front of him.

Levi looked shocked. “Oh!”

Eliza was taking a bite when she saw this exchange “Oh!” She raised her hand in front of her mouth to finish her bite. “The wings from this place are amazing! I wish I could get them again. You’ll like them Levi”

Levi took the boxes from Luis and looked at them blankly “this is- thank you.” He looked up at them, tears in his eyes.

“Of course buddy.” Luis said “did you want to eat here or in the living room? I was gonna put on a movie.”

Levi thought for a second, his arms still embracing the pizza boxes “I think I will join you in the living room.”

Luis nodded and grabbed the last pizza box, a small Hawaiian for him, and took it with him as he left the kitchen “Oh, and that other soda is for you. It’s ginger ale, helps with upset tummies.”

Levi looked over at the golden soda bubbling in its bottle “ooo.”

Looong Holiday Weekend

Saturday morning @lessjokes and I got up and biked to St. Francis for breakfast and then popped into Beretta for a quick marg before Indy 5 at the Alamo, after which we biked to the friends 'n' fam opening of Jesse's new Enterprise Brewing where we ran into Theresa and Chris and Jane and Dave and Fred. The pilsner is pretty good. I bought some merch from Lauren and made a plan with her to meet up the next day at Stern Grove for Santigold and OGI, then Jess and Jane and I went to dinner at Ryo's new place Kuma on Valencia which was bomb. Then Jess and I went home (me electing to skip the Star Decay show and the Blue Velvet screening in favor of saving up energy for the next day) and she packed up and went to the airport and I watched a movie and went to sleep early. In the morning I caught the 23 out to the concert and hung out with Lauren and her friends on her blanket, and I ran into David and Kaveena and chatted for a bit. Santi was pretty good. Then I caught the M-Ocean or K-Ingleside (first time in a while either way) back to town and grabbed a 12er of Truly to take to Sylvia's backyard birthday BBQ. I arrived at the same time as Dave's friend from Barcelona, so we talked Barcelona for a bit, then I talked to Fred about being teenage punks turned 40ish old guys. I met Rebecca for the first time, she seemed pretty cool. Matt's kid was really funny. I drank a bunch of Trulys and ate a platter of grilled zucchini nobody was touching, and then afternoon turned into a blur. After midnight I walked with Fiona a few blocks, gossiped about the day and then hopped a sharebike home. The next day I took the ferry over to Oakland to meet Jane at the Snail Bar 2-year anniversary party. We had crudite, Colombian hot dogs and shrimp tostadas, all of which were bomb, then I caught a ride back to Jane's place and we caught the sunset on the deck and sobered up and then I drove my car (which I'd left there the previous week after our final dinner at Longbranch before David's retirement) back home and chilled out for an hour before catching the 24 over the hill to the Knockout to meet up with Sylvia, Fiona, Rebecca and Dave for karaoke. I sang "Only You" by Yaz and "When You're Gone" by the Cranberries, thinking of Jess far away, and I ran into my guy @chineseripofff for the first time in years and we hugged a lot and talked about the old days, and we all had to stay til just about closing to see Dave do "The Passenger," which was worth it. Fiona didn't sing but seemed to have the best time out of all of us. Rebecca gave us some cool tips about nightlife in the Excelsior, and then I caught the 49 with her in that direction, forgetting that the 24 I was gonna transfer to didn't run at that time of night, so I ended up walking all the way up Cortland to grab a sharebike. (I wanted this to be one huge paragraph btw but Tumblr is making me break it up...)

The next day was the 4th, so I got up and went Duc Loi to get stuff to bring to @corntard's BBQ. I got a 12er of Topo Chico hard seltzers (which turned out to be not as good as Truly, in my opinion, despite the cooler packaging), King's Hawaiian rolls (because they were out of hot dog buns), two bags of ice, and a coconut water. Mike, Constance and @westerday were there when I arrived, followed by Kate and Sean, Javier and Leti, Dave and Sylvia, and then Sunny and Rebecca and a few others later on. We talked film stuff, the new bike lanes on Valencia, travel, the old days, and probably lots of other topics, ate Korean dogs and taters and a couple big salads, and then the sun was setting and it was time to go. Dave and I strolled by the Make-Out Room but the Healing Gems show hadn't even started yet so we grabbed a booth for two at the LAC and talked about social anxiety and romantic relationships for a while. Upon our return to the Make-Out Room, Stella and Justin and Shannon and Greg were outside smoking and I hadn't seen Stella in a WHILE and she had a bunch of fun news to talk about, so we basically missed the entire Adron set (although we could see it and hear it decently from out front) just catching up. A very well dressed @vicwomg came over to say hi and we talked about the Wednesday night jazz scene briefly. It was cool to have this particular group randomly hanging out after all these years. Stella and Justin had to take off, so I went inside to watch Healing Gems. Sylvia arrived and found me and Dave. Healing Gems were pretty good. Dave and I bought LPs and we sat at a booth and finished our drinks and then I went home. The next day I spent mostly on the couch recovering, but I had a nice FaceTime with Jess and ate some healthy stuff and then went to Doc's to meet up with Dave and Sylvia (yet again) for a drink before Weird Wednesday at the Alamo. Innerspace holds up. Another drink at Doc's after and then home. The next day, another day on the couch, followed by another trip to the Alamo (with Dave and Sylvia again, and Helena) for the premiere of Joy Ride, which fucking RIPS, after which Dave and I caught a car to the Savoy Tivoli for Wesley's 40th birthday party. Mike, Constance, Sunny and a few others I didn't know were there. I talked to Sunny at length about the arc of her special friendship with Veljko, which was pretty entertaining. I met Wesley's friend Rabin who was wearing a kickass hot pink Madonna crewneck. (Hope she's okay.) Then Mike and Constance had to go home, so we took a bunch of photos in the street out front and then they left and the rest of us went to Bow Bow where I sang "Those Were the Days" and "The Wanderer" for Wesley (get it?) and then Wesley did a great performance where he sang "mammas don't let your cowboys grow up to be babies" instead of the real line which was very funny and awfully poignant? Dave (three times I think!) opted to sing songs he didn't know because nobody else wanted to do them. Then a bunch of bros came in and took the place over so we left. Now it's the next day and I'm recharging on the couch (and seeing if my memory still works) before Melanie gets to town in a couple hours and it's time to go out again. Wesley says he's gonna be in the "south Mission" tonight if anybody wants to meet up.

NCIS: Los Angeles Season 13 Rewatch: “Come Together”

The basics: When a robotic vehicle robs a casino’s armored car pick-up, the team is looking get it off the streets. Big life changes ahead for Callen, Kensi and Deeks.

Written by: Kyle Harimoto wrote "Omni", "Merry Evasion", "Chernoff, K", "Command and Control" as episode 150, "Granger, O.", "Ghost Gun", "Kulinda", "767", "Se Murio El Payaso", "Assets"/"Liabilities", "Venganza", "Superhuman", "One of Us", "Let Fate Decide" (season 11 premiere), "Decoy", "Answers" , "Watch Over Me", "Cash Flow", "Fukushu" and "Bonafides". He co-wrote "Three Hearts", "Leipei", "Humbug", both ends of the "Matryoshka" two-parter, "Smokescreen" part two, "Searching", "A Fait Acompli" and "A Tale of Two Igors" (season 12 finale).

Directed by: John P. Kousakis directed "Imposters", "Sacrifice", "San Voir" part one, "The Fifth Man", "Parley", "Inelegant Heart", "Chernoff, K.", "Active Measures", "The Long Goodbye", "Talion", "Glasnost", "Unleashed", "Party Crashers", "This Is What We Do" (episode 200), "Goodbye Vietnam", "Ninguna Salida", "The Guardian", "High Society", "A Tale of Two Igors", "Under the Influence", "Genesis", all of the Afghanistan scenes from "Iron Curtain Rising" to "Zero Days" in season five and all of Kensi’s injury/recovery storyline scenes from "The Queen’s Gambit" to "Sirens" in season eight.

Guest stars of note: Bar Paly as Anastasia "Anna" Kolcheck is back from “Down the Rabbit Hole”. Vyto Ruginis as Arkady Kolcheck, Richard Gant as Raymond Hanna and Natalia Del Riego as Rosa Reyes are all back from “Work and Family”. Both Duncan Campbell as NCIS Special Agent Castor and Cyd Strittmatter as Ms. Janice King return from “Hard for the Money”. Eugene Young returns from “Bonafides” as Sang. Lesley Boone as Nina Barnes, Sara Young Chandler as Amanda Chen and Monique Mosee as Woman (Raymond confuses her for Sam’s mother).

Our heroes: Have a barbeque.

What important things did we learn about:

Callen: Getting married. Sam: Really trying with his Dad. Kensi: Foster parent. Deeks: Foster parent. Fatima: Dating profile whisperer. Rountree: Bad dating app luck. Kilbride: Admiral in the Navy, BBQ master at the beach.

What not so important things did we learn about:

Callen: Mr. Carl. Sam: Switch. Kensi: Brings Deeks a bagel sandwich for his ride home from LAX. Deeks: Still looking to do trust falls with the Admiral. Fatima: Good at circuit training and hot yoga. Rountree: Good at circuit training and bad at hot yoga. Kilbride: Big “Moana” fan.

Where in the world is Henrietta Lange? Callen talks to Sam about wanting to speak with her about his past. Hetty’s décor choices in the boat shed got a thumbs up from one visitor and a thumbs down from another..

Who's down with OTP: Kensi and Deeks are parents, Callen and Anna are getting married. Things are going well.

Who's down with BrOTP: Sam tells Callen that Anna is good for him and Callen agrees. Everyone on the team is over the moon with Kensi and Deeks bringing Rosa to the OSP family.

Fashion review: Callen starts the episode in a grey quarter-zip with blue sleeves that looks a lot more like Chris O’Donnell fashion than G. Callen gear. For the rest of the episode, he is wearing his blue and black checked button down shirt. Long-sleeve black tee-shirt for Sam. Kensi is wearing a golden brown cropped hoodie for Kensi. Grey henley for Deeks.

Working out, Fatima wears a dark pink and white workout top with dark pink running tights. Working, Fatima is in a blue sweater. At the beach, she’s wearing a pale, purple turtleneck. Rountree works out in a medium blue tee-shirt and grey shorts. At work, he’s in tan sweater. At the beach, he’s wearing a green and white button down short-sleeve shirt (a Hawaiian shirt cut without the bold colors). The usual dark blue suit, pale blue dress shirt and blue and grey tie for Kilbride. At the beach, the Admiral is wearing khakis, a Hawaiian shirt and a beige bucket hat.

Music: “TV Dinner” by Holy Wars is playing in the casino. “Carry On With Me” by Junius Meyvant is playing when Kensi, Deeks and Rosa get to the party. “On the Nose” by Ryan Pollie is playing while Kilbride, Raymond and Arkady chat. “The Magician” is playing while Callen and Sam talk.

Any notable cut scene: No but there was a gag reel. Chris O’Donnell introduces himself as Agent O’Donnell, Eric Christian Olsen has a hair emergency on the Allegiance and Gerald McRaney wears his mask into a scene.

There is also a Season 13 season wrap-up. They try to explain the Callen childhood nonsense. Chris O’Donnell is incredibly complimentary to Linda Hunt, who always surprise him in how she delivers her lines. Pembrook is being set up as a “fun villain” in the future. LL Cool J likes playing Switch because it take Sam and the audience on different journeys. The producers talk about prior mentions of Sam’s father and they wanted to see the man who made Sam the way he is. The program is doing more than catching the bad guys, they are looking at their character’s humanity.

The infertility storyline didn’t take the easy way out and brought in the issues with immigration. They talk about celebrating the family you have and not the family you though you’d get.

Growing more comfortable with her place on the team, Fatima is getting a chance to shine. Rountree is learning to think before he acts and be a part of a team. The two of them are friends, not a couple “for right now.” This is a more interesting relationship, especially with Fatima being the more tenured of the two.

Gerald McRaney is thrilled with the way his character is written. He’d like to go into the field more. He feels guilty calling what he does working.

The program takes their social responsibility seriously with the violence against Asian-Americans. Gerald McRaney’s father trained Japanese Americans who were fighting in WWII and always thought it was terrible these young men were going to die for the country that had their families in internment camps. Caleb Castille spoke about “Perception” and the fear young Black people live with.

The program asked Daniela Ruah and Eric Christian Olsen if they were OK writing and directing together. Daniela Ruah is thrilled that the start of her directing career is someplace where the team is so good. Cast and crew loves her work. Frank Military thinks that directing is her future. Eric Christian Olsen wanted to write an episode that was funny and became a freight train by act four.

The season finale was written as a series finale if they weren’t renewed.

Quote: Tie:

Rosa: “Who are all these people?” Deeks: “They, they’re…” Kensi: “That’s our... and now your family, Rosa and I think it's pretty clear they're excited to meet you. Are you ready to meet them?” Rosa: “Yeah.” Deeks: “Oh my God, this is happening.”

Callen: “Anastasia Kolcheck, will you marry me?” Anna: “Of course I will.” Callen: “Yes.” Anna: “Yes.”

Anything else: At a casino, a waitress picks up her things from her locker. The tips have been bad and she’s questioning her life choices as she walks to the employee parking lot. What looks to be a golf cart blows past her firing a weapon mounted on the cart’s roof. Over a speaker, someone in or around the cart orders two armed security officers making their casino bank run to stop and cooperate if they want to live. The officers are told to put the money into the vehicle. They comply as the waitress watches.

When the cart drives off, the two officers start firing at it. The waitress moves behind a dumpster to protect herself and to watch what’s going on. The cart stops and races back to the officers. The big gun on the roof fires into a nearby vehicle, causing it to explode. The officers go flying off their feet. The cart races away as the waitress does the same in the other direction.

A grateful Deeks is playing up to Kensi for not only picking him up at LAX but having a Nate ’n Al’s bagel sandwich waiting for him. It is next level love. When he asks about Callen, Kensi tells him he’s being really open about his feelings and the entire team is helping him through this difficult time. That earns a ‘touché’.

Kensi’s phone rings, it is Janice King, the social worker. Deeks says hello too. While she has no new news on Pilar’s case, she has great news about Rosa’s adoption. “Congratulations, you two have been approved to be a resource family.” Kensi and Deeks look at each other, stunned. They will be fostering Rosa. Kensi and Deeks thank King, who tells them they did the hard work to make this happen. She knows they will provide a wonderful home. Deeks is looking for a time frame for when Rosa can move in with them. It is “tonight”. Kensi and Deeks are a little freaked – they just became parents. Deeks thinks he should save some of his bagel for Rosa.

Leaving a neighborhood breakfast spot, Sam is dealing with a seemingly cranky Raymond. Raymond wants to know if Sam wants a parade thrown in his honor for feeding him and putting blankets on his mattress. Raymond sees Sam’s reaction and tells him he’s kidding. He remembers that Sam takes his ribbing to heart. Sam is happy to be living with his father and wants to make the most of it. Raymond tells Sam he sounds just like his mother. Sam misses her every day. It is obvious Raymond does as well. Looking at his take-out breakfast, Raymond could not see his wife being happy he was eating a breakfast burrito or Sam drinking a smoothie. Sam agrees.

Raymond tells Sam about a place he’d go for dinner once a week after Sam’s mother, Vivian, died. The owner, a Miss Sarah D’Arcy, would sit with him. Never let him sit alone. He would look forward to the company. Sarah wanted a relationship but Raymond thought he was disrespecting Vivian. Sam disagrees – his mother would want Raymond to be happy. “Don’t ever have a Miss Sarah D’Arcy son, regret is real.” Michelle would want Sam to be happy.

As a woman walks down the street, Raymond grabs her, mistaking her for Vivian. Sam is able to pull the woman away and explain that his father is just confused. Raymond is yelling that he knows his wife when he sees her. He’s livid. It takes Raymond a minute to get his bearings again. The two walk home.

In a park, Fatima and Rountree are working out. He’s impressed seeing her go from hard circuit training into yoga and being good at both. It was Rountree’s final hot yoga class since he was a hot mess. Rountree calls his prior night’s date a hot mess. Fatima wants to know what went wrong. Rountree says it was almost everything. They couldn’t agree on movies, sports, food, even houseplants. They had nothing in common. Fatima thinks the algorithm did him wrong but Rountree agrees – the algorithm never did him right.

Reviewing Rountree’s dating profile, Fatima tells him the algorithm can’t help when he gave it so much bad data. His dating profile says he enjoys eating takeout and reading a book on a Friday night. A tiny bit defensive, Rountree says he’s done that before. Fatima keeps going – he says he enjoys long hikes but she knows the longest hike he likes is from his car to the basketball court. The profile says his fashion sense is “frugal, durable and functional.” Rountree agrees – he wears Dickies. He does, Fatima agrees. He also pays someone on Beverly to make them look distressed and fashionable. Rountree thinks characterizing himself as “salt of the earth” could be a problem too. Fatima laughs – “you’re helpless”.

Sitting near the window of a house, Callen and Anna are sharing some quiet time. She doesn’t want to leave but since it is a short time rental, sooner or later they’ll have to leave. Anna still feels guilty about nearly killing Callen by opening the shipping container’s door. She wants to be normal with him – go to work, come home, cook dinner and watch TV. They kiss. Callen is about to say something when Arkady knocks on the window.

Reluctantly going to the door, Anna lets her father in. He gives her a big hug, he’s so happy she’s OK. Callen says hello, Arkady does not react. Saying that he came as soon as he got her text, Anna tells Arkady she texted him three days ago. He was occupied with a beautiful, voluptuous – and Anna’s had enough of that chit chat. Pulling out a bottle from his jacket pocket, Arkady has some nastoyka for “a celebratory drink.” Turning to Callen, Arkady says he is glad he’s safe too. It is obvious to Arkady how much Anna loves him. Callen says “I like you too.” They are going to drink to that.

Walking into Ops, Kensi and Deeks join Fatima and Rountree. The team is investigating the casino heist with military grade firepower. There were dozens of spent shell casings found on the ground. An Army vet from the Vietnam War playing poker at the casino told LAPD that the sound of the weapon reminded him of an M60. Kensi is stunned.

Bigger problem was the car blowing up – it was taken out by a grenade. There was a second, undetonated grenade found next to the car. The guards are sedated and recovering from the assault. NCIS is looking into whether the weaponry was stolen US military property. Kensi notes they haven’t seen any surveillance footage. The machine gun took out all the cameras before the robbery. Their only witness is the waitress – Amanda Chen. Callen and Sam are on their way to speak to her because Admiral Kilbride wants to speak to both Kensi and Deeks. Deeks thinks the Admiral just wants a hug. Kensi gives him a hug instead.

Knocking before entering the Admiral’s office, Kensi and Deeks start with a good morning. Of course the Admiral doesn’t have good mornings in Los Angeles. 40-minutes to drive 10-miles which gives everyone time to work on their mindfulness practice. Deeks thinks the Admiral is serious, talking about taking a little scheduled time every day to check in with yourself. Deeks is pushing trust falls once again. The Admiral looks stunned. Deeks thought they were at the point where they could banter but admits he miscalculated.

Getting back to the case, with a vehicle with an M60 driving around Los Angeles – and Deeks brings up crawling because of the Admiral’s previous comments which goes about as poorly as you can imagine – weapons and ordinance that can’t be bought by civilians, there has to be someone supplying them. Kensi thinks the heist crew is being financed by someone. The Admiral discusses an above-board, high end arms dealers with access to these type of weapons. Putting some photos of a woman on his office plasma, the Admiral mentions a criminal dealer could be moving them too.

When Kensi comments that the woman in photo is a tough looking lady, the Admiral thinks that is an understatement. Her name is Nina Barnes. Barnes used to be one of the most connected arms dealers on the West Coast. Deeks asks if she was above board or one of the criminal ones. The Admiral thinks it is a 70% legal/30% illegal situation. Barnes was caught making a purchase of stolen weapons a few years ago and the Admiral helped her out. She owes his a favor – a big one. Living in LA, the Admiral wants to them to find Barnes and find out what she knows. Deeks is still open to some trust falls as he leaves.

In the boat shed, Castor drops off Amanda Chen. She finds the boat shed has a “touch of that serial killer vibe”. Sam asks about the shooter. Chen explains that there were no shooters, it was a “supped-out armored go kart”. Callen is surprised that nobody was driving it. She compares to a life-sized robotic car that her brother used to play with when they were kids. Chen also mentions to robotic voice that ordered the security officers around. She saw the cart go south on Vermont.

Calling it a UTV drone, Fatima can’t find the armed cart anywhere. An excited Rountree brings up pulling “a full-on Knight Rider.” For a change, Fatima is confused by the entertainment reference. Growing up, Rountree’s neighbor had a TV and loved a show with a talking car “and the guy from Baywatch on it.” The Knight Rider car would move around the country undetected in a big truck. The casino is in a commercial area – a lot of trucks in the immediate area. Everything in LA is a target if the UTV can move around without being detected. Not just jewelry stores or banks, the UTV could go after soft targets and LAPD couldn’t stop it.

After checking the rental trucks in the area, none of the renters seemed suspicious. The non-rentals are more of a problem since there are an awful lot of them and they are owned through corporation. Reviewing the UTV, it is dangerous and it is expensive. The people behind it wouldn’t move it around in a rental or stolen truck. Callen realizes they know someone who moves things around.

Outside of the Premiere Bake Shop, Kensi and Deeks think they are in the wrong place. Going in, they are not. Nina Barnes is teaching a class in cake decorating. Thinking Kensi and Deeks are Deana and Colby late for class, she’s surprised when they pull out their badges and drops the “federal agents”. With a paying class, she’d be happy to help later that afternoon. Kensi drops Kilbride’s name and Barnes is defeated.

When Fatima says it is a strange place they live in where an UTV could be used to rob a casino, Rountree breaks into song – “It’s a whole new world” – at his work station. Fatima laughs – that is the version of Rountree that should be in his dating profile, his love and deep, deep knowledge of Disney musicals. While he goes on about the Disney musicals, the Admiral shows up. The Admiral is pleased Rountree can “carve out time to watch cartoons.” After getting a sit-rep from Fatima, the Admiral asks Rountree “How can you not mention ‘Moana’?” It tells the Admiral a lot about the person he is.

Apologizing to her students, Barnes is sweetly offering the next class on the house as they leave. With the shop empty and the “closed” sign on the door, Barnes asks “how is that old bastard Kilbride?” Kensi brings up his dislike of LA. Barnes is stunned he’s there. “He must be miserable.” If Kilbride sent them, Barnes knows some weapon is in LA that shouldn’t be – what is it?

When Deeks gives the specs, Barnes is impressed. The machine gun is something that the SEALs use. That gun would be easy to find. The grenade launcher is the issue – that would be hard to bring to town. If the weapons are in LA and she didn’t bring them in, she wants to know who did. Since she doesn’t do guns in her cake shop, Barnes needs a place to work, a clean laptop that runs Kali Linux and Tor, internet access to the dark web and an untraceable cellphone. Kensi orders it all for the boat shed.

Sang, the guy who messed with ‘Switch’ in “Bonafides”, leaves his home to find Callen in his back alleyway. Callen asks for a good spot to get food in Koreatown. Sang threatens Callen, pulling a gun what Sam as Switch easily takes from him. “Damn you, Switch.”

Saying he knows nothing about a remote UTV and driving it around the city, Sang isn’t interested in even helping Sam since Switch stole from him. Sam says it is redistribution program, not stealing. Callen asks if Sang wasn’t moving the UTV, who would? Sang has no interest in talking to Switch or his accountant. Callen tells Sang his name is Mr. Carl and he is Switch’s life coach.

Saying he needs the UTV, Switch wants Sang to help him. Sang wouldn’t help Switch if he was hanging off a building. Listing a few places where Sang has garages, likely with stolen items stored there, if Sang helps Switch won’t rob them all. Sang reluctantly tells them to look for a 14-foot truck with out-of-state dummy plates. He has a name. But after that, they’re done. Switch disagrees – Sang is going to take them to the name. Now.

Speaking in German, Barnes is working the phone. When one call ends, another comes in. Barnes is speaking Chinese. Deeks finds Barnes impressive. Kensi is worried she might be launching a missile strike. When Barnes finishes her calls, she tells them she’s just waiting to hear who is bringing a rocket launcher into LA.

Arriving in the Land Rover at Pelican’s home, Callen asks Sang why is he called Pelican. Sang doesn’t know and doesn’t care. In Korean, Sang tells Sam Callen is annoying. “I’ve gotten used to it,” Sam replies. Sang wants Callen to change his look – he comes off as an accountant or law enforcement. Callen asks what they’re talking about. Sam lies about Callen becoming Sang’s life coach.

Walking up to Pelican’s secured gate, Sang is allowed in but Callen and Sam are not. Waiting, Callen admits to Sam that Anna is struggling a little about what happened with Katya. Sam thinks most people would. With Katya gone, Callen and Anna can live their lives without looking over their shoulders. Callen brings up Pembrook and Sam tells him not to. “Things start going good, you start focusing on the next thing and pushing people away.” Sam tells Callen that Anna is good for him and Callen agrees.

An aggravated Sang returns. Pelican didn’t want to talk but Sang threated to steal all of Pelican’s business. Pelican gave up a name – Lou Faria. Pelican tracks all his vehicles – he gave Sang the transponder, which Sang gives to Sam. As Callen and Sam get in the Land Rover, Sang is not allowed to join them. He wants a ride home but Switch says they’re good. Callen makes a life coach push.

Rountree tells Callen and Sam there is no response from the transponder but that may be because it only works when the vehicle is in motion. Fatima has a long list of Lou Faria’s crimes – drunk driving, robbery, assault. Callen sees him more as a strong arm guy than someone who could build and control a UTV.

In the boatshed, Barnes is looking at the photos on the wall, seeing pictures of Doc Paskowitz’s family. She asks who hung them up. Kensi speaks generally about the woman who decorated the place. Kensi likes the life Paskowitz was living the photos. Barnes asks if Kensi has kids. She and Deeks look at each other and explain that they didn’t this morning but by tonight expect to be parents. Barnes is surprised they are a couple. She laughs and Deeks doesn’t see what’s funny. Barnes thinks Deeks is punching a bit above his level and Deeks agrees.

Barnes gets a phone call, she answers in German but scolds Elias on the other end for not telling her about the deal going down. Based in LA, she needs to know these things so make sure it doesn’t happen again. She learns the terms of the deal – it was a German grenade launcher that was traded for an unarmed UTV drone. Deeks is a big concerned that a high-level arms dealer now has a UTV drone. The two men who traded the UTV drone are Jacob Griffiths and Gordon Cassella.

Both Griffiths’s and Cassella’s homes and offices were checked out by LAPD – nothing. Both are engineers with the technical know-how to build a UTV. But Jacobs works at a chemical plant in Hawthorne while Cassella works for a mechanical engineering firm in Simi Valley. There is no link. Different colleges, different homes, the only thing they have in common is being connected to the UTV. They are likely hobbyists. Thinking the men would need space to build the UTVs. Checking, Fatima learns both men live in condos. Fatima is going to see if they rented a warehouse – she immediately finds it.

Kensi and Deeks are first to the warehouse. Deeks find one of the men dead in a room in the warehouse with a bullet in his head. It is Jacob Griffiths. The two wonder where is Gordon Cassella.

In Ops, Faria’s transponder is back working. Fatima contacts Callen and Sam with the truck’s location.

Seeing Faria’s in a truck coming their way, Callen and Sam try to cut the vehicle off. They yell “federal agents”. Faria picks up a gun and that’s the last things he does. In the back of the truck, Callen and Sam find Gordon Cassella bound and gagged with the UTV and its remote control.

Saying that Castor is on his way with the car, Kensi and Deeks are sending Nina Barnes home. Barnes find Castor pouty – doesn’t get her sense of humor. Deeks says he’s “an angry, angry man.” Kensi sees Barnes is still working on the laptop. She hopes Barnes isn’t making illegal arms deals with it. “Hope is a powerful thing.” Barnes wants to know about the case. Deeks confirms that Griffiths and Cassella built the UTV drones. When they tries to sell them, Faria saw the criminal potential and strong-armed them into going for his plan. Since both Faria and Griffiths couldn’t operate the UTV, Faria killed Griffiths and left Cassella alive to run the UTV. Free to leave, Barnes packs up the laptop and starts making her way to the door. Kensi thanks Barnes and hopes she can come back – depending on how many favors Kilbride can call in. “And, that gear stays with us.” Barnes says you can’t her for trying. She also says she wishes her foster parents were a little more like Kensi and Deeks.

Complaining that he’s missing his shows, Raymond asks Sam “why are we here?” as they pull into a parking spot. Sam is going to introduce Raymond to some people. If he can’t get to Raymond in a time of need, some of the people they are going to meet will be his back-up. Raymond tells Sam he doesn’t need someone to “spoon-fed me.” Sam promises Raymond he will like everyone. Raymond isn’t so sure. “Some people are morons.”

Raymond also tells Sam that he doesn’t know how fast whatever his has is going to run through him. So Raymond wants Sam to know that who he is as a man…Raymond has a hard time saying proud. Sam knows his father is proud. After feigning that he didn’t remember why they were in the car, Raymond asks his son to lighten up – Sam takes things too hard.

Worried that he’s not wearing a collared shirt, Kensi is calming down Deeks, who wanted things to be special. Kensi promises him it is going it be special. Rosa runs down the stairs to hug Kensi. Mrs. King will speak to them next week. Rosa says hello to “Mr. Deeks” but Deeks tells her Martin or Marty or Martisauarus Rex are all fine. Deeks thinks it is a Dad joke. Deeks gets a call – Kilbride wants to see them. Deeks explains they are busy but they’ll be there.

Really annoyed, Deeks can’t believe that tonight of all nights, they have to see the Admiral at the beach. Kensi is trying to keep him calm. Rosa tells them if they have work she’s going to be fine. She wants to take a walk on the beach – it looks beautiful. Kensi hands Rosa a phone. It is so she can keep in contact with both Kensi and Deeks as well as her family back in Guatemala.

Deeks is still railing against Kilbride and their lost dinner reservations when Kensi’s breath is nearly taken away. She points out the welcome Rosa party starting on the beach. There are big balloons that spell out ROSA, beach chairs, umbrellas, blankets, a portable barbeque, coolers – Deeks can’t believe it. Everyone is there – Callen, Anna, Arkady, Sam, Raymond, Fatima, Rountree with the Admiral running the barbeque.

Confused, Rosa asks who everyone is. Kensi explains that they are our, and now your family. Since everyone is excited to meet Rosa, is she ready to meet them. She is. Fatima spots them first and everyone is so happy. Lots of hugging and introducing Rosa. Kensi and Deeks meet Raymond. The Admiral introduces himself as Hollace.

Enjoying their meal, the Admiral, Raymond and Arkady are chatting. The Admiral is complaining about young people putting a lifetime of knowledge in a back seat to “technological acumen.” Arkady doesn’t know much about young people except his ability to deposit their rent checks. ��Raymond announces this is the most fun he’s has since being “kidnapped and brought to LA.” Arkady talks about being on different sides of the Cold War but now they are comrades, sharing drinks and “a very fine cow.” The Admiral is not his comrade and if Arkady goes back to his old ways, he will be locked up. Arkady thinks Kilbride knows how to kill the vibe.

“My man” Callen brings Sam a beer while Kensi and Anna are playing cornhole behind them. Callen talks about it being a wacky few months. Both are glad the deep fakes thing is over. Kensi and Deeks are parents and Sam is living with his dad. “Didn’t see that coming.” Sam asks if Callen will ever speak to Hetty again. Callen admits he needs to talk to her. Sam sees Callen watching Anna. “She’s always been good for you,” Sam tells him. Callen agrees.

As the sun goes down, almost everyone is in a beach chair around a fire pit. Anna is standing near the ocean, Callen arrives with a blanket. He tries to say something but it takes a second. Telling Anna that in every aspect of his life, he didn’t know who he was until he met her. Saying that he can’t give her the normal life she’s looking for, Callen tells Anna he’s broken. She seems concerned where this is all going. Callen wants to give her what she wants. Anna says it is no secret that he is broken. She’s broken too. “That’s why we fit.” They have their normal that makes senses. The two share I love you’s and a kiss.

Kensi notices Callen going down on one knee and tells the group to shh. Everyone watches as Callen propose. Anna is giggling and crying. She says yes. Everyone is cheering Callen and Anna. Another big round of hugs. Even Arkady hugs Callen. Sam offers a toast that they dodge all of life’s bullets and have a super successful family.

What head canon can be formed from here: Lesley Boone is a keeper as Nina Barnes.

Doc Paskowitz lived on the beach and surfed for peace with his nine children from his third marriage.

This would have worked perfectly as a series ender. Callen, the man introduced with no name and no family, now has a name and people who love him. Sam is being the man his father brought him up to be. Kensi and Deeks who came from troubled places in their childhoods are offering a safe home they didn’t always have.

This works perfectly for another reason. If like my other big show – The X Files – this one screws up the way things go for the characters when it ends, the show can just end here. Mulder and Scully wound up on his couch sharing a beer and watching “Caddyshack” in “Je Souhaite” (season seven’s second to last episode). Nothing happened after that. Those four seasons and a movie - nope. If dumb things happen to this program going forward, it all ends here.

Episode number: The 22nd and final episode of season 13. This is the 302nd episode overall.
