#Los Angeles? Is Deeks fired?

On NCIS: Los Angeles season 12 episode 5, we got all sorts of tough situations — and there was especially one for Marty Deeks. Is Eric Christian Olsen leaving the show after what happened to the character? We’ll break some of that down within this article.

The first thing worth noting here why so much of this is going down with Deeks — he’s already been displaced from his role as LAPD liaison for NCIS, but there was a thought that eventually, he’d be able to jump back in. Unfortunately, that did not happen. Nell informed him near the end of the episode that the job was being cut, and unfortunately there was nothing that neither she nor Hetty could do about it.

To make matters worse, it’s almost impossible for Deeks to go back into training to be a proper NCIS agent — they don’t take applicants his age. Even if they did, he’d be starting from the bottom with a much lower pay-scale and fewer benefits. That’s rough for a guy wanting to start a family and in process of buying a house.
