The latest episode of NCIS: Los Angeles aired on February 14, 2021, at 9pm/10pm, ET/PT on the CBS Television Network
The Frogman’s Daughter was billed to include DHS Agent Megan Merkel.
Some fans were confused thinking this meant that Meghan Markle was in the show, when she wasn’t, it was just a similar name.
