NCIS: Los Angeles has revealed an new season 7 title, one that could put a member of Hetty's team at risk.

'NCIS: LA' Season 7 Spoilers: When Will Deeks Secret Be Revealed? EP Teases IA Endgame

Penned by Dave Kalstien, episode 8 (airing order unconfirmed) has ominously been christened "The Long Goodbye."

Plot details are currently under wraps, but fans are already speculating that Kalstein's latest script could harbinger Deeks' (Eric Christian Olsen) departure from the OSP team. The detective is currently under investigation by the LAPD's internal affairs office and there is a chance that IA's findings could cost the cop his liaison position.

"I think he's covering something up, something catastrophic," Olsen previously told Entertainment Weekly. "I think he probably gets sent back to LAPD at some point. I think he's hiding it from everybody, he's been hiding it from himself. Whatever it is, I only hope he did it for the right reasons." "The Long Goodbye" will ultimately air as the ninth or tenth installment of season 7, placing it dangerously close to the midseason premiere. According to executive producer, the truth behind Deeks' current troubles will be revealed before the winter hiatus. "Before we reach the halfway point, the whole internal affairs issue will be well and truly investigated," series creator Shane Brennan informed TV Guide.
