Episode
6x11 - Humbug
Humbug. To deceive or deceptive. Joelle Taylor calls Callen a humbug as his cover gets blown up as Securities Trader while protecting her.
Otherwise, the story’s other plot is also about being NCIS LA Team humbugged by Peter Weber, who is the owner of the Cyber Security Company called CBug.

Nothing explosive or too much action, but a very enjoyable Christmas Episode. I loved the episode. Its like all act of deception is set aside and everyone wants to be truthful at the time of Christmas.
Director
Tony Wharmby
YEY!!! Its his first episode of Season 6. And he directs the Christmas Season again. I loved the episode.
Editor
Robert Florio ACE
Enjoyable episode as always. Fun filled and Merry even if the subject is awfully depressing.
Episode Summary
The Team gets involved on behalf of DOD (Dept of Defence) to help Peter Weber, the owner of CyberSecurity Firm, in finding out if anything worthwhile was stolen that could endanger national Security
Callen’s Girlfriend Joell Taylor is taken hostage and then released by Adam Rex at the scene of the crime when Rex is running away from authorities. This piece makes the episode and OPs more interesting than ever.

As the crime gets investigated, its revealed that Peter Weber had allowed the Thumb Drive containing PLC controlling Malaware virus, to be stolen. It was not a theft but an act of deceipt to dupe Govt, where instead of building softwares that can control Malaware, the owner was engaging in cheating a man, Lincoln Tate, by embezzling his account with drawing out real currency and adding fake notes.

Apart from the Episode is also about a peep into each NCIS OSP members plans for Christmas. Nothing can stop them from being truthful, believing and giving to the moments, the Spirit of Christmas.
NCIS Personnel Highlights / OSP fun
The real stories are out. Dont forget to watch the episode.
Read below. Dont miss watching the Episode. Must Watch Episode.
Ops Manager/s
OPs Manager Hetty Lange
Asst Director Owen Granger
Granger is absent for the case. But knowing that Hetty must have sent everyone off for the Holidays, he comes to join her for celebrating Christmas with her, near the end of the episode. We see the heart beat considerate feelings in Granger just like Hetty does.case.
Partnership 1-
G Callen & Sam Hanna
Callen and Joell. Oh My God. How cute and lovely is Joell. She is so innocent and charming in her honesty just like kids. [She is a school teacher]. Finally Callen’s coverstory is exposed before her. Well that was not bad at all. And the sooner the exposure the better for any relationship of such kind. Otherwise I was getting worried about Callen turning into a Grey Man with never telling Joell the truth of his work and identity.
I already watched the episode twice. Its just adorable to watch all of them and especially Joell and Callen.
It was lovely to see Joell looking at the rest of the Agents and Sam’s family and asking Callen, “Them..are they your family?”
And that brings us to Sam and his family. Wow!! Michelle is back (Aunjanue Ellis is superb as Michelle). So Sam and Michelle have a boy and a Girl. And his boy Aiden; is in Army School and has been promoted to be a Cadet. So soon after last episode of Cadets and Sergeants case where Sam remembers his father.
One doubt though, wasn’t Sam always talking about having two girls ?!!! Now he has a son?  So like the last time I suspected, Sam’s family background is being changed by the writers.
Partnership -2
Marty Deeks - LAPD Liaison Officer
Kensi Blye -Special Agent
Wow!! Finally Kensi and Deeks decide they do not want any more of safe play act between them. They want to be bold, brash when being with each other. And that boldness and brashness gets displayed through a kiss. Yes, dear readers!!! The Kiss just happened. In full swing and out in open.
Whats funny though two Christmases back Deeks was inviting Kensi and her Mom for vacation on lakeside. Now that changes with Mom accommodating enough to have Kensi accept an invitation to join Deeks to snowboard. And of course Monty will be there.
Ops Room  Partnership
Eric Beale- Tech Operator
Nell Jones - Intelligence Analyst
Another WOW!!! Nell just made Neric official. She is going introduce Eric as her boyfriend to her family. :)
Guest Characters
Elizabeth Bogush: (Joelle Taylor)
She was so cute. Omg. I mean I felt, she is so perfect for a person like Callen. He knows everything and she is just so innocent and straight. And yet, we can see how Callen is drawn to her, as much as he has control in that relationship. Joelle is exasperated of her safe play with insecurity and how she expresses that to Deeks is another high point of the episode. She wished to play Not Safe. and she got her Christmas Wish. She can be just herself and yet be in control of the situation. She was so trusting of Callen and yet there was in her, the spirit to refuse any kind of deception. And that is such an endearing take home she packs for Callen, that one cannot ignore it. Callen is ready to come clean with her.
