When CBS didn't air this week's episode of "NCIS Los Angeles", fans sorely missed the show. The good news is the current hiatus is brief as a new episode airs on Monday.

Episode 18 titled "Fighting Shadows" will see the team investigate an explosion that killed three FBI Agents after they successfully went on an undercover sting operation. TVGuide reports that the team needs to uncover the perpetrator of the crime. The synopsis also reveals that Operations Manager Hetty Lange signals to Deeks and Kensi that she is aware of their current relationship status by pairing each with other agents.

Deeks is paired with Callen while Kensi works alongside Sam. This not only tells the pair that the Operations Manager knows about their affair, but also helps them realize that they can't keep their relationship under wraps forever. Moreover, the addition of some romantic drama coupled with a little crime mystery certainly makes this an episode to look forward to. Episode 18 airs on Monday, March 23 at 10 p.m. ET on CBS.

Episode 19 named "Blaze Of Glory" also sounds equally intriguing as TVGuide's episode synopsis reveals that the team investigates a missile test that is hijacked when the missile is sent off-course. Hetty brings in a young technology specialist named Blaze Talcott to help with the case. However, NCIS Intelligence Analyst Nell Jones gets jealous when he sees Blaze bond with Tech Operator Eric Beale. "Glee" star Becca Tobin plays the role of tech-genius Blaze. Episode 19 is slated to air on Monday, March 30 at 10 p.m. ET on CBS.

Moreover, in episode 18, Deeks may be up to something that may or may not begin the story arc for the season finale and the next season's episodes. Apparently, whatever Deeks is up to, will put Kensi's life in danger.
