Fans of NCIS have always been curious about the fate of the Operations Manager for the Office of Special Projects, Hetty Lange, played by Linda Hunt. Putting rest to all their questions, the new NCIS Crossover episode revealed that Hetty was still alive.
The latest NCIS episode was a three-hour long crossover of NCIS season 20 episode 10, NCIS: Hawai'i season 2 episode 10, and NCIS: Los Angeles season 14 episode 10.
Fans were eagerly waiting for this crossover episode and were certainly not disappointed. Moreover, the fact that Hetty Lange is still alive and doing well has made them rejoice, and she is expected to make a full comeback on the show soon.
Take a look at Hetty Lange's appearance on the NCIS crossover episode.
Not only is Hetty Lange alive but she's keeping tabs on the team
In the first episode of season 14 of NCIS: Los Angeles, a body was found which had Hetty Lange's id. However, it was later revealed that the NCIS supervisory special agent had seemingly faked her own death. Fans have always wondered what happened to the beloved character, and the latest episode answered their question.
We were well aware that Lange didn't want to appear before the public eye and wished to stay hidden. In the latest episode, the team discovered that Lange was keeping tabs on them when she sent them a voice memo that proved essential to track down Kilbride.
The voice memo said that it seemed like they were in a "bit of a pickle." It continues to say that Hetty had warned Hollis that:
"His Simon Williams days would come to bite him in the a*s."
She added that they were all capable and knew that they could handle the situation but suggested that they should contact "an old friend, Gwen Johns."
This was a spectacular way to include the beloved character in the episode as Lange has been a huge part of the show's history and things haven't been the same without her. Although nothing is known about her future appearance, her presence is mandated during Callen and Anna's wedding.
