Deeks was unable to sleep, so he settled for resting his eyes as he held Kensi's hand and periodically checked the monitors. While it was evening, it wasn't really "sleeping" time yet for him. Occasionally, a nurse or orderly would come into her room and check on her, or adjust the medication in her IV. Callen and Nell came in to visit, but Callen didn't stay long. Nell sat with Kensi and urged Deeks to stretch his legs and get something to eat. He wasn't keen on leaving his partner, but decided he would grab something from the cafeteria. He left, with strict instructions to Nell to call him if anything on the EEG monitor changed, and to keep talking to Kensi. He ducked into the restroom and tried to rinse the blood out of his shirt. Nell had brought him a change of clothes from his desk, so he slipped into a clean shirt and pants. He made his way down to the cafeteria and tried to find something appetizing. He chose the last remaining hot meal, and on a whim he grabbed some twinkies for Kensi for when she woke up. He was getting anxious about taking so much time away from her, and sure enough, his phone rang while he was paying. He grabbed his food, tossed down his money and ran back to her room.
Nell was chatting to Kensi, telling her about Callen's confusion about the need for various moisturizers and cleansers and letting her know that Eric had Abby's help at Ops. She kept the conversation light, and Deeks could see that the waves on the monitor registered as "positive" much to his relief. While Nell continued chatting, he sat back down in his chair and grabbed the call button to let Briella know that Kensi was awake.
A new nurse came in to check on them, and told Deeks that Briella had gone home for the evening but would be back tomorrow. Unfortunately, that meant that they would have to wait to try her experiment. The nurse spoke to Kensi briefly, asking a few questions and Deeks relayed her answers to the nurse. The nurse made some notes on the chart and adjusted the IV. Nell was amazed at how easily Deeks could read the EEG waves and decided she wanted to stick around until Kensi fell asleep, and get Deeks to explain how their communication worked. When the nurse left, she told Kensi about the bedroom window and asked if she knew about it. Negative. On a whim, she asked Kensi about the dishes in the sink.
"The dishes in your sink were all clean. Have you started using plates and cups recently?" Negative. Deeks tried to suppress a snort of laughter.
"Did you clean up and rinse all your dishes when you got home last night?" Negative
"Did you use a plate last night?" Neutral. Then positive.
"But you didn't clean it up?" Negative.
This made no sense. Someone had broken into Kensi's apartment, drugged her, washed her dishes and then vanished? What was going on? She tried to keep her confusion to herself, so she didn't stress Kensi. Deeks started asking Kensi if she'd slept ok and if she had any dreams about him. So typical of Deeks. During this brief pause, Nell's phone started ringing. It was Eric. She talked to him briefly then turned back to Kensi.
"Kensi, we got a match on the fingerprints on the syringe. Do you know someone by the name of Christoph Verette?" She asked. Deeks looked at the monitor, but didn't recognize the wave pattern. Suddenly, alarms went off and the EEG waves seemed to go beserk. Nurses came running in and pushed Nell and Deeks aside.
"She's seizing and crashing. Call Dr. Hull. Get a team in here. NOW."
