The Office of Special Projects was without a permanent operations supervisor for some time. NCIS Los Angeles Season 13 has the answer.
Nell Jones, Rene Felice Smith, took over temporarily for Hetty Lange (Linda Hunt), who was MIA while on an unknown mission in Season 12. The former analyst then left NCIS in its finale. Hetty was able to return, although Hunt was absent due to the pandemic. However, she is still in the middle of something. What does this all mean for OSP’s leadership in the future?

NCIS Los Angeles Season 13: What Will Happen Next?
The finale showed that Nell was promoted to Operations Manager and was given Hetty’s job. Eric turned her down, so she refused to take the job. Hetty is now on hold. But it won’t happen any time soon.
Gemmill has also suggested that there may be a loophole. Gemmill stated that they could bring back people, which could mean Nell can return. Deeks and Kensi are still searching for a family. Anna and Callen would be in a tough spot.
