duties as Operations Manager, but finds difficulty working together with Shay Mosley who intends to break up the team. In the season nine finale, Hetty strongly disapproves of the unsanctioned mission to Mexico, seeing that not only is it highly dangerous and that it could endanger the lives of everyone on the team, but also Hetty recognizes that Mosley is going completely out of control and is willing to sacrifice everyone's lives to get her son back. Hetty attempts to stop the mission, but is forced to give in when Mosley blackmails her, threatening to expose the team's less than legal actions. In the season ten premiere, following the events of the team's off-the-books mission in Mexico from the previous season finale, Hetty calls retired Navy Admiral, Hollace Kilbride to help assist in rescuing them and later disappears again, leaving everyone wondering where she is. However, Hetty secretly contacts Callen, informing him she will be gone for some time, but eventually after being absent for almost the entire season, Hetty finally returns on the day of Deeks and Kensi's wedding and officiates their ceremony (Hunt took time off from the show while recovering from a car accident.)

Other than Hetty, he is the only team member shown to wear corrective eyewear. He is the main connection between agents in the field and OSP headquarters, often manipulating traffic cameras and hacking into networks and satellites to gain an advantage for the
