Fans feared for Hetty’s life when she was kidnapped. The team successfully rescued her in “Goodbye, Vietnam.” But she hasn’t been seen in Season 10, which makes us wonder  - where is Hetty Lange?

In a phone call to Callen, she warned him that things are going to get much worse for the team. And she’s not going to be able to help them! Read on for more details on what happened to Hetty Lange and NCIS: Los Angeles Season 10 spoilers.

Where is Hetty Lange now?

After the Mexico mission, which led to Hidoko’s death, things have only gotten worse for the team. And Hetty is nowhere to be found! She has been mentioned in the episodes but she has not appeared in person so far.

Callen has not given up hope and  is still trying to find Hetty. She hasn’t revealed where she is yet. Keane previously revealed to Callen that she chose not to come home after their Mexico mission.

Is Hetty returning to NCIS: Los Angeles?

Fans are shocked after learning that Mosley exchanged Callen’s personal files for money. She assured him that they were fakes but can we trust her? The writers could be foreshadowing Mosley’s departure from the team. Could that mean Hetty’s finally returning to NCIS?

The investigation surrounding the Mexico mission has been concluded and Hetty is now free to come home. So, it’s understandable why fans are getting restless!

Is Linda Hunt retiring from NCIS: Los Angeles?

Hetty’s disappearance might be because of the car accident that actress Linda Hunt was in. Hunt crashed her SUV while driving around Hollywood in July this year.

Sources reveal that the actress has been recovering from the crash. This might explain why she hasn’t appeared in person on the show. The actress hasn’t talked about her status on the show.

So, we’ll be waiting for her return until then!  Eric Christian Olsen (Deeks) had this to say about Linda’s future on the show - "She’s going to do this — hopefully forever. And I say that not only as a character but as an actor on the show. Everything is better with Linda Hunt, and everything is better with Hetty Lange."
