NCIS: Los Angeles Season 8 Episodes
Season 8 Episode Guide
24 Episodes 2016 - 2017
Season 8 of the military drama opens with a shipping container setting off alarms at LAX, and Homeland Security requesting the NCIS squad to look into the problem. When the investigation leads to terrorism, Sam (LL Cool J), Cullen (Chris O'Donnell), Deeks (Eric Christian Olsen), and Kensi (Daniela Ruah) take part in a Department of Defense-led operation they don't really agree with, and when everything goes south they are blamed for its failure. As the Under Secretary takes over The Office of Special Projects for fear of it being compromised, the team goes to Syria to try to stop a terrorist plot. They are successful, but unfortunately a member of the team ends up severely injured and has to be put out of commission for a while; in the meantime, another member of the team confesses to being a mole and is arrested. As the season progresses, the team deals with murders, kidnappings and spies, while also trying to prove their colleague did not betray their country.
