In tonight’s NCIS LA episode, a newborn was found upon an aircraft carrier. The baby had been abandoned. Its mother was unknown. The poor baby was found swaddled in a Navy uniform and while the umbilical cord had been cleanly cut as well as tied – there was no placenta.
There’s a chance the placenta could have been disposed of or thrown overboard. But there was also a chance that the mother retained the placenta. She would be at risk of hemorrhaging and sepsis if she did. It was imperative that the mother was found. The onboard doctors had checked out the baby. The baby was a premie. It had to be conceived after they left the port because they been at sea for almost a year. And whoever the mother is, she tried to hide the labor.
The baby was abandoned in a holding area that isn’t used. It was more or less abandoned. The mother probably gave birth there and no placenta or signs of it were found in the area. NCIS were called in to help find the mother before it was too late. They had twenty-four hours to do so or there was a chance that a woman will die.
But finding the mother was difficult. Kensi and Deeks were sent to the ship and that’s where they learned how the Chief Officer wanted this kept on the quiet. The people that found the baby were told to keep it quiet. They were given direct orders not to talk and them being good soldiers meant that it never got out. And there was no rumor mill.
There were no chances of finding the baby’s mother through a dead rumor mill. They instead had to find other means. They talked to the owner of the uniform used to swaddle the baby. Petty Officer Forest claimed to have no knowledge of the baby. He said he didn’t lend his uniform out to anyone.
He doesn’t how it became involved and he has a girlfriend back home. The team wasn’t sure to believe him or not, but they found all that he could from him and the baby was no lead on its own. The baby appeared to be white or at least light-skinned. This could mean anything with the mother because some babies don’t take after the mother.
Only Kensi realized that the mother wanted the baby to be found. The only reason the baby was found at all is because someone left the lights on in the holding area and that got the security team to check it out on their rounds. The baby also wasn’t smothered or thrown overboard.
The umbilical cord was handled nicely. Its clear that the mother seemed to care about her baby and that she just wanted to hide her part. The team learned that the mother was A positive. It meant she could be one of over a hundred women onboard. Kensi and Deeks kept looking for the mother, but they weren’t getting much help.
The most the ship’s chief could do was order that everyone woman matching the criteria come in to have their temperatures read. If the mother hadn’t gotten rid of the placenta, she would be running a temperature. Which is why the Chief asked the women to come in group to get their read.
It was a long process that Deeks and Kensi didn’t have time for and so they went to search their “crime scene” of any possible clues. They were just saying to themselves that down there was so dark and quiet that it was easy to hide a labor down there when they came across a woman passed out. They picked her. They brough her to the ship’s doctor. And she was the mother.
The mother’s name is Petty Officer Sofia Addison. She needed medical attention. She was being treated as Kensi and Deeks continued to look for the baby’s father. Back home, Callen wasn’t working the case. He was doing something else. He was trying to track down Hetty and his informant Zasha wasn’t much help in that regard. It was her job to follow Hetty. She even flew to Syria where Hetty held a meeting with a known terrorist group for the Americans. But a drone strike killed the people she was talking to. It also resulted in Hetty going to ground. Her people didn’t know where she was and Callen actually managed get into contact with them.
Callen spoke to Keane. Keane was in charge of Hetty’s security overseas and he said that Hetty was meeting with the terrorists in order to gain the release of two American journalists. The journalists were actually NCIS Agents. Keane doesn’t know what happened after the drone strike because he almost got caught up in the blast, but Hetty was still out there and the woman was indeed hard to kill. Callen kept looking for her. He has questions about the program he was in. The one that Hetty put him in as a child. Callen was still looking when he got pulled into the baby’s case. He and Roundtree who recently came back had gone to arrest the baby’s father.
The father was identified as Gary Drummond. He was a private contractor who visited the boat and he raped Addison. The baby was evidence of this. The team later arrested him for rape and both mother and baby were transported to a hospital. Addison was going to keep her baby. She does love her. And that’s in spite of everything.
Callen’s search into Hetty meanwhile hadn’t gone unnoticed. Admiral Killbride was also looking for Hetty and he was worried about Callen’s knowledge of the program he was in.
And once again, someone managed to impersonate Callen.
THE END!
