Spoilers for 'NCIS: Los Angeles' Season 12 Episode 6

It has been ages since the king of comedy from 'NCIS: Los Angeles' graced our screens and Eric Beale's grand return couldn't have gone any better. He's been gone for almost the entire year but as he returned, he sure did return with a bang. Not only did Eric save yet another day of catching the bad guys in Los Angeles, but his joyous return was also celebrated by fans taking quite a dig at his looks too. 

According to the official synopsis of Season 12's Episode 6 titled 'If the Fates Allow', "Before Christmas, Hetty assigns Callen the case of his former foster brother and his wife, who, upon reentry into the US, are framed for smuggling drugs across the border; Deeks is struggling with losing his job at NCIS."

But what the synopsis does not mention is how Beale is a billionaire. The reason? Remember the computer science project he went off to pursue upon Hetty's initiation? The reason he has been absent all this while? Turns out, Beale, using his incredible brain, ended up building a kaleidoscope so iconic that now helps people catch the bad guys at all the top law enforcement and places of authority. It is the same device that also helped the people at NCIS: LA catch the bad guy framing Callen's foster brother Raymon Lewis in a drug peddling crime - thus saving not just the day for the team, but also on a more personal level for Callen. 

It was also touching how generous Beale has become. Although for a second there we thought he was going to donate his money to the Densi couple, he said with all this extra money lying around he wants to donate it all to the homeless. Still, that wasn't enough for fans to not mock Beale's new appearance. "Eric looks like a porn star. Moustaches are just... not a thing," tweeted a fan. And another came in hot with "Welcome back, Eric Beale! Now with pornstache."

Other fans believe "In another life, Eric travels with a Ren Fest." One even wrote "Well well well it’s about time ERIC Beale finally appears this season. But with a mustache he’s so different." some however weren't happy with the change; "I don't like this new Eric model. Take him back and give us the original," shared a fan. 

'NCIS: Los Angeles' season 12 airs on Sundays at 8 pm only on CBS.
