With Callen's personal life constantly braving the highs and lows that come with his profession anticipation peaks for what's next on the journey of our Los Angeles team of NCIS agents in this ongoing Season 12. Not that long ago we saw the crushing loss of Deeks' job permanently from both LAPD and by extension, NCIS: LA. This makes him and his special agent wife Kensi put their house on the market. At the same time trying for a baby once again is simply the last thing the fan-favorite couple needed. But the show must go on, and no amount of random, or designated winter breaks can top us from the thrill of tuning into CBS every Monday. Unfortunately, there won't be a new episode next week.

Following the winter final that aired tonight, 'NCIS: Los Angeles' season 12 Episode 7 will air all the way on Sunday, January 3, a little later than its usual slot, at 8:30 pm on CBS. The reason behind the delay of course is the designated winter break shows go on during the Holiday season. Show bosses and networks know nobody is going to stay glued to their screen in the midst of spending quality time with their families, especially after the year that 2020 has been, looking away from our screens sound like a much-needed prospect. Speaking of this year, the pandemic lockdown has also stalled a lot of production, implying NCIS: LA's Season 12 might still be under filming for all we know. Hence the hiatus leading to a prolonged wait between Episodes 6 and 7.

Sadly, not much information is out on what to expect from the winter premiere either. CBS has only released the name of the upcoming Episode 8 of Season 12 of 'NCS: LA' and its entitled 'Overdue'. We say the synopsis for the episode is long overdue if anything! But then again, there are a few things one could deduce. Perhaps this is the long-overdue happy news for Kensi and Deeks that they have looked forward to for over a year now. It's been a while since the couple resumed trying for a baby, and after the torturous encounter that Kensi faced at the mercy of convicted sex trafficker David Kessler, the show better have a child on their arc soon!

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