Game for Game: Personal Vs Professional, Deeks Vs Hetty

Beginning of the End or End of the Beginning! 

Granger: Beginning of the End?
Hetty: No. End of the Beginning.

That was Hetty getting Deeks message. 

The End of Profanity
The End of Indecisivness
The End of Beating around the Bushes
The End of Hide and Seek
The End of How it Began. The "This Thing" "No Thing" "Our Thing"
Its the Beginning of serious commitment - Its a Love Story
Its the Beginning of serious consideration.

You might have noticed that there is an increasing distance between Deeks and Hetty from 5x14-War Cries. All we can see is a boss and subordinate relationship from 5x14-War Cries onwards. At first Hetty distances herself from Deeks. Hetty becomes pronounced as a tough boss from 5x17-Between the Lines. And by 5x19-SpoilsOfWar, Deeks does notice himself being singled out from the rest of the Kensi Search and Rescue Mission. I have traced this in each of the episodes so far. While Hetty relented to Deeks rebellious seeking of his partner in 5x20-Windfall, who would have suspected that she had plans of making a mockery of Deeks personal relationship with his partner, to her professional use of having a breakthrough to another NCIS Agent Paulo Angelo going rogue. It was downright making it public and that too in a demeaning way, like a commodity available for trade. She used Densi relationship for her professional gain and she justified as it being okay. Perhaps, these are the unforeseen ugly consequences of falling in love with partners at work places. Others making a joke or game out of it. What follows is an humiliated and outraged response from Densi, especially Deeks, as he can see where this is all leading to. And he makes a decision. Perhaps, Hetty can let Kensi and Deeks work together without worrying. But can Hetty be sure that, her relationship with Deeks is still intact. Would he be able to see that, by taking that extreme step, perhaps, she might have protected him before, it became more ugly?!!! We cannot tell. We have to wait.

One might wonder, what I am rambling about. Well..I am rambling about, why Deeks felt outraged coming out of the Boatshed Interrogation of Paulo Angelo, and how he felt like taking a shower. And how what he did in the end actually is his step to protect his third heart. Hetty asked Deeks in 5x05-Unwritten Rule, "How's your emotional Center?". And Kensi asked in 5x21-ThreeHearts, "What does your Third Heart say?" A long journey indeed for Deeks to learn that one can be exploited even by the persons you trust most. It is perhaps too early for me to even say this, but one cannot ignore the vibes we get. Hard as it was for Deeks to break away from Kensi, but he just got his personal dignity back by securing his Third Heart. 

How did Deeks come around this decision? or rather how did the writers take him there?

The Fight between Being Professional and Personal

It was Deeks all over again, with his Love Story in EP 5x21-ThreeHearts. A repeat of 5x16-Fish Out of Water mental state leading to 5x19-Spoils of War vulnerable state, seeking a release from the 5x10-FrozenLake. Can he be patient with Kensi? He can be provided Kensi wants to. Is Kensi serious enough about him. Yes. To the point of her letting him go to protect him. What does Deeks do? Take the plunge. He lets her go and do whatever she wants to do with him. He will wait for her.

In 5x16-Fish Out of Water, Joe Sachs weaves a story for Densi and Deeks, with the serious side of the “Love Story” coming up for the first time after Frozen Lake. The complication of two working partners falling in love and what implications each can have regards to his or her career is touched upon through the Guest character DEA Agent Talia. And yet by the end of the episode, Deeks is adamant about what he wants. If he fell in love with his work-partner and it has become a purposeful and meaningful existence for him, makes him a better person, he would fight for all of it, and be ready for any kind of fight he has to take up with his authorities. The simple human reason being, how can falling in love be demeaned as complicated if one can be reasonable enough to work it out. 

For all of these arguments, there are consequences and the persons, who ask these sort of questions get charged of breaking the law, like Paulo Angelo, but in the end, their question is valid enough for us to put our thoughts to amend a wrong. We can see that the emotional meltdown that Deeks goes through in 5x16-Fish Out of Water consequences both professionally and personally, he starts to fight for his own individuality, his beliefs, all that his existence is made of in the subsequent episodes. It starts becoming a fight between him and authority as represented by Henrietta Lange and a fight between him and professionalism as represented by Special Agent Kensi Blye. In 5x19-SpoilsofWar, Deeks disproves Hetty that he can let his emotions get in the middle of the rescue operation. Even if he loses himself briefly, Deeks finds his ground and is instrumental in rescuing all the others.

When Kensi is back, she is not allowed to work on field with Deeks. Nell is asked to work with Deeks and Kensi is asked to help Eric Beale in Ops Room. Can Densi and Neric take all this? Neric take it professionally. Deeks though disappointed that he did not get Kensi's company even when, she was there, he still manages working on a good footing with Nell. He continues mentoring Nell as Senior to Junoir and supportive and appreciative of her skills on the field. In contrast, Kensi miserably fails to work with Eric Beale. After watching Nell and Eric make her feel totally incapable as them, her spirit just kicks in honestly to be humble enough to approach her boss and ask her to allow her to get back to “Agent-ing”. It was a big step for Kensi. Like in 5x02-Impact, Deeks came back to form at the carrot stick of Hetty having to find his replacement for Kensi’s partner, Kensi in 5x20-Windfall, feels the jolt of not being able to work with Deeks and that too someone who replaced her in a better way on the field and in the Ops Room where she was assigned for the day. Why this is important is because, Kensi has gone back to her shell and has grown comfortable in her inner pain by not reigning in her emotions. She also has stopped being responsive to Deeks as someone who loves her to infinity. But being left alone, with no partner, makes her kick herself alive. And then comes her possessive response about losing Deeks to someone else. The return and the punch.

All of this is being favourable and understanding to Kensi. But the wait is getting longer for Deeks. Who is taking care of him for his fallout in Afghanistan? Apparently no one. Not only had Deeks seen his Third Heart with regards to vulnerability caused by his feelings for Kensi, Deeks also had to see the revelation, that in Kensi's heart, Deeks had never been able to make a place for him in last 3 years, that Jack Simon had in Kensi's heart apparently gone missing and presumed dead from last 9 years. While Deeks sees Kensi as his soul mate and home, apparently Kensi does not see him that way.

He starts to fight for his own survival and standing and negotiates clearly with his boss and his love interest, what he considers as professional and personal boundaries. He starts questioning in talk-back style. For the first time. And he sends his message across rightly to Hetty and Kensi, both professional par excellance.

Deeks waited for 5 months for Kensi to be back. And he complainingly asks Hetty to give him back his partner in 5x20-Windfall. It takes a loving boss to take Deeks demand kindly. Otherwise, Deeks tone to Hetty is rebellious and demanding, when he asks, “I want my partner back”; just like it was in 5x03-Omni when he says,”Ask me tomorrow” when she asked him if he was back. Shows his losing his edge, trying to find a meaning, why would Hetty not trust Kensi with him?! Is he not capable of taking care of Kensi?! more than anyone?! that seems to be his questioning as against Hetty’s administrative and qualified judgement call to detain Kensi from going on field without making her feel responsible enough on how serious she has to be while at work now. His whole attitude about questioning Hetty, is if she is ready to trust him. There is clear articulation of Hetty remarking on Deeks questions, "yet you question about my judgement".

Hetty in her official capacity and also in personal capacity; does relent by the end of the episode that, she or for that matter anyone else other than Deeks cannot assess Kensi's true emotional condition after her stint in Afghanistan. If she must have her Special Agent recover quickly from a traumatic experience, she would have to entrust Kensi to Deeks care. There is no doubt about it that Kensi will not open herself to anyone else. The only person, close enough to break her walls has been Deeks. And Hetty is well aware of it. Hetty remains impartial in this decision from administrative point, Hetty employs Eric Beale and Nell Jones to come to this decision. She trusts Neric as friends of Densi and yet quite capable of deductive reasoning much needed on the job. After speaking to Eric, Hetty is able to table it in her official assessment that Kensi is bored and restless when not in the field and appears totally stable emotionally to him. She informs Kensi, that she is allowing her to work on the field as she has come to an understanding that, if she is kept apart from the field or Deeks, revelations would not happen about her emotional state.

And after working a case together, Deeks goes for another rebellious questioning with Kensi and shows her what he thinks of her personal investment towards him. That's in 5x21-Three Hearts. Kensi's indecisiveness towards their relationship, Deeks sees it as a professional affront to his capabilities as seen through her personal and professionally critical eyes. She goes at length at protecting him before Angelo, which kind of puts Deeks in a bad light, as if he cannot manage himself. Could be true. But if Kensi was really professional, she would not have bothered to cut into Deeks negotiating style with Angelo. She would have had that trust on him both personally and professionally and they could still have their private thing going on. By protecting Deeks, Kensi exposes herself too. She forgets that Deeks has raised himself, is a negotiator by profession and would know how to manage interrogation. Its pleasure seeing someone going at length to protect you, but then it also means that the other cares about you in wholesome manner. Can Deeks be sure of that now? After what he saw in Afghanistan? Is Kensi protecting her work partner or protecting him for other personal reasons? Then it just remains for Deeks to take care of the fact that she need not get protective on him when working. Remove his "emotional center" and end the bother. 

So just by being a good work-partner to her, he lets go off the personal dangling "thing" between them, showing Kensi that if she prefers professionalism, then so be it until they both are ready to handle their personal versus profess He breaks away from her. Its slam dunk case he makes for himself against two judging women against his professional integrity. One has to either trust or distrust. One cannot be in perpetual doubtful state of "is he going to be one of us or be the weakling or a traitor, just because he is good at his undercover persona or wears his heart on his sleeve." Deeks neither can let Kensi become the DEA Agent like Talia, who can go ahead and dump him; nor can let himself get turned into Paulo Angelo the "doubted" as the NCIS under Hetty make of him. Slam Dunk rebellion of the Crass Distrust and the mockery that Hetty makes of his Love Story by sending him into the Interrogation Room to question Angelo, something that was so personal to him treated as a commodity by others.

That was Deeks point of view. What is Hetty's point of view? And how do they hash it out?

We see that even Hetty goes through a Fight between Personal and Professional desires. Her personal desire is that she wants Deeks and Kensi get to together. And she has helped them a lot from last 4 seasons. But then there is that professional side of hers, that also needs to assess the partners in love, dedication and objectivity towards work. It would have been easy for us to manage her two loved team members. But as fate would have it, she has a friend in Afghanistan, Jack Simon; who is in trouble and needs her help. Coincidentally, Jack Simon is also Kensi's Ex-Fiance, whom Kensi believes as dead. Hetty has to make the tough choice between her two personal wishes of seeing Kensi with Deeks, but having to send Kensi for rescuing Jack Simon. Its a tough call, but more on the professional lines, she decides to send Kensi to Afghanistan, well aware of the repercussions it may have on Deek's budding Love story with Kensi.

I am sure Hetty might have started feeling heavy about this. And thus she starts distancing herself from Deeks. This is where I started with the post above. How did then Hetty's decision affect her personally by affecting both Deeks and Kensi?  The answer is that, both Kensi and Deeks get to their Third Heart, that part of them that is so vulnerable that they cannot ever let it seen by others and have to always gaurd it. Both Kensi and Deeks lose stability when in Afghanistan. Its good and bad that they have seen what can happen to them. But what is the fallout?  The Fallout is that, its a step back for The Love Story. Kensi can see, that in her heart there was still Jack Simon. And until she flushes him out, she cannot let in Deeks. And Deeks, sees for himself, that he could go to a dark place for Kensi, but its not worth at all, because Kensi does not love him. She might care for him a lot, they have their Thing going on, but definitely its not the kind that Kensi feels for Jack Simon.  Hetty is all aware of this fallout. This is her personal loss. But first things first, she needs to get back her Special Agent Kensi Blye into shape, even if that means; having to exploit her other skilled team member Deeks closeness to Kensi. A Manager indeed!

5x20 Windfall

Gil Grant's Episode. Sparks of Wit fly around like Fairy Dust to charming effect! Lovely!!!!

Highlights of the Episode

1. Kensi is back. A complacent and self-pitying Kensi, nonchalantly walks into work with no competitive spirit of hers. She beats herself up for being beaten, tied to chains along with her ex-fiance. 
2. Nell is competitive challenging Kensi to buckle up her spirits and give her fair share of appreciation. She seems to give a choice to Kensi to choose between Field or Ops Room, because Nell can beat her at both places. 
3. Eric misses Nell in Ops, more so because Kensi has not been cooperative and helping.
4. Deeks misses Kensi, but respects Nell for his partner. He keeps teaching her tactics the same way he has been helping her.
5. Kensi wants to be back. She finds her feet and asks her boss to allow her to do her regular job.
6. Deeks waits for Kensi. Reminds her that they have not chatted for long and he is getting worried that Nell is going to fall in love with him (if Kensi does not acknowledge him soon enough).
7. And there comes the Punch. There SHE IS. Here I AM

Episode	5x20 - Windfall	Sudden Unexpected Fortune..The case is about 42 Million Dollars laundered away Vendetta in Windfall. Perfect Storm
Writer	Gil Grant	Gil Grant the Consulting Producer for the show and has been regular writer for parent show NCIS. He has been with NCIS LA from Season One. I know him as creating dynamics interpersonally between all characters that adds to the organic growth in the form of muscle to the skeleton as provided by R S Gemmill for the same characters. Gil Grant stories are always interesting episodes in terms of solving the crime procedural as it keeps our Field Agents and Ops Room personnel busy and engaged at the subtle levels of intrigues dipped in witticism and humour. Gil Grant specializes in adding undercurrents between characters that keeps them engaged in a certain mentally hitting way through an intellectual manuvering of repressed emotions by giving an opportunity to vocalize it into expression of the same with a certain body language that leaves it mark. As for the crime procedural, Grant’s favourite subjects are War in Iraq, Alqueda and Mercenaries. Tonight’s episode is full of witticism. Its replete with playing with words for all characters. I shall be explaining below, which words we have to look out for to catch the subtleties.  As for the undercurrents for plot developments into continuation for story, in tonight’s episode, Gil Grant; by making Nell join Deeks, successfully wedges into Neeks(Nell and Deeks friendship cum partnership) and Nelsi (Nell and Kensi’s friendship), making Nell feel on the edge with both Deeks while on field and Kensi when in Ops Room. She is uneasy at being the third wheel for Deeks and helpless about taking Kensi’s place. She feels she usurped Kensi’s place, but all of it just adds to the fact that Densi realize that they have to be at their best, delivering their best, not compromising the mission in any manner, otherwise there are promising agents like Nell waiting to do their jobs more successfully than them, and it would be just their loss to be losing to her. This whole thing has a desirable effect on Kensi, who does seem eager to be on the field than being complacent due to her personal trauma faced in Afghanistan at losing the mission’s focus by getting caught and captured and also losing her Ex-Fiance. Job first followed by other feelings is the motto of the episode and it seems to nurse Kensi back to what we know her as.   And finally Grant ends his episodes in trademark style of leaving something for the next episode to follow on. The beauty of Grant’s episodes are that, they need to be watched slowly, in an understanding and unexcited manner and then we keep seeing all the nuances through the dialogues and body language.  Sam worked as Sommelier for one year in Undercover and that he is afraid of Clowns. Sam's Sommelier Cover Story is the back-stopping mention for him in passing in EP 2x02-BlackWidow by DaveKalstein.
Director	Eric Pot	This is Eric Pots second individual credited direction. Otherwise, he is the First Assistant Director of every second episode.
Editor	Robert Florio ACE	Editor from Season One.
Episode Summary	Areeb Sahar and Mazhar Tariq, Alqueda sympathiers nab Adrian Davis while he comes out of a hotel and demand the whereabouts of the money. The entire episode is about “Where is the stolen Money?” that is a windfall of weath and has now become a vendetta to get it back.	Adrian Davis, a former Marine in Iraq, became a private Contractor, set up a Security Company Monarca Securities with  his partner Gabriel Stanfill. Like some of the ‘reputable” contractors, Davis was found guilty of embezzled a million of dollars from the Restoration Funds destined for Iraq, of which the Governments are still trying to account for missing 6.5 Billion. Davis was imprisoned for 7 years in prison by the DOJ. While he spent his time in prison Stanfill set up a Wholesale Wine Distributership. The investigations lead to Alberto Jiminez  from Cautelo Cartel  links to Alqueda, which employs Cautelo Cartel muscle; to find the money from Davis and Stanfill. While Stanfill gets killed, Davis helps the NCIS Agents to find the money before Alqueda men find it.
NCIS Personnel Highlights and Bull Pen Fun	Kensi is back. [And we are all smiling.] Everyone is happy. Granger is back. And yet Nell partners Deeks.	When it is a Gil Grant episode, not even one line can be missed by us. Every line speaks of something about the character. The Bull pen, Ops Room and Hetty’s office discussions are all about Kensi being back and if she is really feeling good to be sent on to the field or she is just looking good. It was hard to tell how Kensi was doing actually and if she was ready for work, except that she was not happy for not being assigned to do her regular job.
Ops Manager/s	OPs Manager Hetty Lange Asst Director Owen Granger	It was funny to watch the Hetty-Granger banter fighting like old married couple about whose call it was to take the “house” decisions, how Hetty is good Human lie detector owing to an incredible experience of having worked along with Granger, arguing pro and con about sending Kensi onto the field inspite of the discrediting history of trauma faced in Afghanistan alongside another disturbing history of Deeks and Kensi being more than partners. To be specific, Hetty asks Kensi to stay back and work with Eric Beale in OPs room until she is ready for Field work. Granger informs us that the precedent for Hetty to take this step is her past experience with Agent Mansfield who after having been sent to Field post his Sarajevo Debacle, cost his partner’s life. And on Granger’s usefulness towards the case, he helps the team con the Alqueda men by providing the heaps of counterfeit money. In the end they are shown to be working on the same lines though they behave like a warring but very much married couple…
Partnership 1-	G Callen & Sam Hanna (later joined by Deeks and Nell)	It was funny to watch Scallen being followed everywhere by Neeks. Neeks lands up at Davis’ house, then Stanfill’s house, then Foster’s house, then the Warehouse…. There was nothing significant reveal for Scallen except that Sam worked as Sommelier for one year in Undercover and that he is afraid of Clowns. Sam's Sommelier Cover Story is the back-stopping mention for him in passing in EP 2x02-BlackWidow by DaveKalstein. Their comments for Kensi and Eric were funny. “Like Armadillo in Texas gets along under the truck on a Freeway”. Likewise the talk with Harold with Warehouse Manager was funny the way Callen probes him. “Time Sensitive Offer” from Sam was funny. Where was the 42 Million Booty? It was “Hidden in Plain Sight”. Go watch the episode to find it.
Partnership -2	Marty Deeks - LAPD Liaison Officer Nell Jones - Intelligence Analyst	In the beginning Deeks is unhappy that he could not be with Kensi. He is unable to hide his emotions and keeps to himself with distractions like looking at wine bottles when in field with Nell. It is Nell who breaks the ice and informs Deeks, that he she did not want to be a Third Wheel. Deeks recovers from that moment and becomes responsive and attentive to Nell, effectively becoming Neeks. “Wanna take notes…” As usual, he keeps teaching Nell with tricks about their field work, like in the present case of how to keep the informant network alive and ticking. The informants are called “See-Eyes”. The funny thing is Nell uses her learning on Deeks-the teacher at the end of episode with her “Control” and “Respect” comebacks to Deeks. Deeks has to applaud her saying “Well Played”...something he said in the beginning of their partnership in 5x12-Merry Evasion. In this episode, Deeks also informs Nell about Sam and Callen like in 5x12 Merry Evasion, he was talking about Kensi with Nell. Hair Styles - Deeks as discussing with the Informant. Voluminous rise in Mad Hike versus Deeks flat Hair of Style by Pillow fashion… Nell knows Spanish. She spoke Spanish.
Ops Room  Partnership	Eric Beale- Tech Operator Kensi Blye -Special Agent (briefly joined by Nell Jones)	A totally non-performing work partnership it is. The way I see it is that its not that Kensi cannot help Eric in a small manner. After all, she was able to assist him in Season One. Its that both Eric and Kensi, after having worked with different partners who complete them, chose not to work with each other. Kensi is not motivated enough to take enterprise until ordered by Eric or Eric is not motivated enough to delegate work to Kensi until she asks for it. Its like Eric misses Nell for how much she shares his Intel gathering work. And to be fair for the first time, I saw, how much Eric and Nell actually keep applying their inductive and deductive methods at gathering Intel. They know to dig for clues within given virtual datasets. On the other hand, Kensi is bored sitting in Ops room. Unlike Eric, Kensi does not miss working with Deeks but starts taking it personally that she has been punished to sit in Ops Room with Eric for her failed mission in Afghanistan. She cannot appreciate the fact that how much the Special Agents depend on the Intel gathering work of Eric and Nell until they actually show to her how she could have helped them with their work and how could she have appreciated what they do. It needs a skill to do what they do and least Kensi could have done was to learn like Nell keeps learning the tips provided by Deeks. When Nell briefly joins her and Eric in OPs room, Kensi looks are territorial though behaving indifferent, Nell asks for permission to join Beale, where she completely impresses Kensi by making her see what Eric has been looking for in Kensi as partner. But before that happens, Nell actually also tells Kensi, that she would love to become an Agent, but she would never like it to happen at the expense of another ones unhappiness about the progress she is making. Kensi gets the hint. On the side, as Hetty observes an exhausted Eric, taking his coffee, she tries to find out his assessment of Kensi in the OPs room. Eric admits to Hetty that Kensi is bored but emotionally is rock-solid. [My perception to that was that Kensi hardly shows anyone any emotions except for Deeks. Its only him who can understand her silences and “I am good”]
Love Story	Densi - Deeks and Kensi	Kensi is back. But like Nell says and hits right home to everyone....sometimes we wait for long time enough to get what we want, but when we get it, it is not exactly the same as we expected it to be, as we wanted it to be. And that applies to Deeks, Kensi, us and everyone. Kensi is back, but the Kensi that has returned home is not the same as the one we were knowing about her. Then how does everyone receive Kensi? How does Deeks receive her? And most important of all how does Kensi respond to everyone? How does everyone respond to Deeks? The entire body language about Deeks is to reflect how far he is stretching himself to be get into Kensi’s proximity, which he somehow is being blocked by circumstances to make her inaccessible to him. He is at her desk, setting her things, buying her coffee, but none of these gestures touch Kensi into anything except her blocking him out totally. At the end of the episode, while the rest of the team is having fun at Sam’s Desk, Deeks while participating in their talk is also leaning against the divider besides Kensi’s Desk, while waiting for Kensi to come down...because if she does come down and does come back to her desk, he can catch a few moments with her. Such is his desire to be with her, such is his longing to be with her. When she does come back, Deeks takes his chance and talks to her, that they have not have had a talk for a long time. Of course this is a hint that, this is what is going to happen in coming episodes. But the other interesting thing to happen for him after a long time, is Kensi reacting to his joke that is nothing but a way of speaking the truth. “I was worried, because I am sure Nell was falling in love with me”. Its actually him saying, “I was worried about you not wanting to talk to me. I was thinking you had fallen in love with me, but may be that is not the case anymore”. Kensi can respond to him comfortably in a language she knows and which Deeks can understand. The Punch. “There she is”. “Here I am” Deeks waited for 5 months for Kensi to be back. And he complainingly asks Hetty to give him back his partner. It takes a loving boss to take Deeks demand kindly. Otherwise, Deeks tone to Hetty was almost rebellious, when he asked, “I wanted my partner back”; just like it was in 5x03-Omni when he says,”Ask me tomorrow” when she asked him if he was back. Shows his losing his edge, trying to find a meaning, why would Hetty not trust Kensi with him?! Is he not capable of taking care of Kensi?! more than anyone?! that seems to be his questioning as against Hetty’s administrative and qualified judgement call to detain Kensi from going on field without making her feel responsible enough on how serious she has to be while at work now. As for Kensi, after watching Nell and Eric make her feel totally incapable as them, her spirit just kicks in honestly to be humble enough to approach her boss and ask her to allow her to get back to “Agent-ing”.  It was a big step for Kensi. Like in 5x02-Impact, Deeks came back to form at the carrot stick of Hetty having to find his replacement for Kensi’s partner, Kensi in tonight’s episode, feels the jolt of not being able to work with Deeks and that too someone who replaced her in a better way on the field and in the Ops Room where she was assigned for the day. Why this is important is because, Kensi has gone back to her shell and has grown comfortable in her inner pain by not reigning in her emotions. She also has stopped being responsive to Deeks as someone who loves her to infinity. But being left alone, with no partner, makes her kick herself alive. And then comes her possessive response about losing Deeks to someone else. The return and the punch. What makes it interesting for the love story is that, Hetty after speaking to Eric, comes to an understanding that, Kensi if kept apart from Deeks, revelations would not happen about her emotional state as Kensi very easily seals (bottles) her emotions and rarely shows to anyone. The only person, close enough to break her walls has been Deeks.

In crew's terms this is known as 519-116

The Production Crew has different numbers than what later became the air sequence. Season 4 Production Schedule had an extra episode shot which was telecasted as Unwritten Rule 5x05-101 in airing reality. This changed the sequence numbers for all the season 5 episodes either in terms of Season Episode number or actual episode number for show's grand total serial number. Windfall realistically becomes 520-116 for Viewers.
