NCIS: LOS ANGELES: "Endgame"

When Callen shockingly shot The Chameleon dead to end Season 3, I wondered how he could ever plausibly work for NCIS again. It crossed my mind that the shooting might have been staged for someone else's benefit, but even as I pondered that, Season 4's premiere had to pull it off, and it did.

The tension-building plot device of armed strangers observing from a distance was turned on its head as indeed our heroes were playing to the cameras and listening devices to trick the Iranian military into looking for a spy in its ranks. "Endgame" is a good example of how NCIS: Los Angeles would do an episode of Leverage.

So I'm not the only person who thought of Leverage during the flashback reveal between Hetty and Granger. I haven't been a big a fan of NCIS:LA as NCIS, but I thought this was one of the better recent episodes.
