Deadline? Or dead air?

On next week's NCIS: Los Angeles, a reporter dies on live TV, causing the team to spring into action.

The team gains an additional member, too. Remember Deeks' four-legged pal from last season? Yep, he's back, and will get a chance to test his mettle in front of the entire organization. Great stuff.

Claire Forlani (Hunter) is listed as a guest star again next week, so it'll be interesting to see what she's up to after her exit last night (see our official NCIS: LA review). Check out the promo below:
