Ep 3. Driving Miss Diaz

In NCIS: Los Angeles season 7 episode 3, titled "Driving Miss Diaz," the team has their hands full investigating an abduction case. The episode begins with Anna being kidnapped by three men. The team soon discovers that Anna is actually the daughter of a Mexican cartel boss. While investigating the case, the team includes Eric and Nell, who work together to gather crucial information.

Heavily armed and dangerous, the kidnappers make their way across the city as they transport Anna to their hideout. The agency's agents, Kensi, Sam, Deeks, and Callen, work tirelessly to track down the abductors' location, but their task isn't easy as they uncover the cartel's overseas connections. Meanwhile, Hetty orders Granger to go undercover and lead his own operation to cut off the cartel's source.

The team needs to infiltrate the cartel's operation to free Anna, and Granger's undercover investigation might just be the key to their success. However, when Granger's identity gets compromised, he finds himself in grave danger, and the stakes get even higher - and more personal - for the team.

The episode features high-octane car chases, hostage negotiations, and dramatic showdowns between the agents and the cartel members. The characters' relationships are also further explored, with deeper glimpses into their backstories and personalities. Particularly, Kensi's battle back to health after being injured on a previous case is spotlighted, and Deeks makes a romantic gesture toward her – their ongoing love story takes a new turn.

In the end, the team succeeds in rescuing Anna and dismantling the cartel's operations. Still, viewers can't ignore the emotional moments the team faces, both as they take down the criminals and in their personal lives. Per usual, NCIS: Los Angeles is never short on tension, action, and compelling storytelling.
