NCIS: Origins Shocker – Is Lala Dominguez Exiting the Spinoff?

The final episode of Season 1 for the series titled “NCIS: Origins” has left viewers breathless, as it ends with an intense cliffhanger concerning the character of Cecilia “Lala” Dominguez, portrayed by Mariel Molino. Some speculate that this plot twist could potentially mean that the character Lala Dominguez may no longer be a part of “NCIS: Origins“.

So, is Dominguez dead or still alive? Here are all the details.

Did Mariel Molino’s Lala Dominguez die in NCIS: Origins’ finale?

In the thrilling conclusion of NCIS: Origins, the fate of Lala Dominguez, portrayed by Mariel Molino, remains a mystery. After a harrowing car accident, it’s still unclear if she lived through it, as the show creators haven’t yet clarified her survival status.

During a chat with TVLine, co-showrunner David J. North revealed that the creative team made bold moves this season, ensuring plenty of unexpected twists for Season 2. On the other hand, Gina Lucita Monreal subtly suggested that Lala’s outcome – either death or debilitating injuries – will cause a significant impact on the people close to her.

Furthermore, Harmon’s narrative implies that Gibbs has always held feelings for her (Lala Dominguez). While it’s possible that she may survive due to her popularity among fans, the spinoff series “Origins” might deviate from this expectation and explore a different path.

Is Mariel Molino’s Lala leaving NCIS: Origins before Season 2?

Given that Lala Dominguez has been a constant presence throughout all 18 episodes of NCIS: Origins, it seems plausible that Mariel Molino’s character may not depart from the series. Her injuries could lead to an early retirement, or her actions interfering with Macy’s investigation might result in job loss, but it’s more probable that Lala won’t exit NCIS: Origins.

The co-producers of the series haven’t revealed much, instead asking viewers to tune in for clarity. Regardless of whether Molina returns to her character, Lala’s influence on Gibbs’ history and future promises to significantly affect the upcoming season.

Currently, fans are left guessing: Is it possible that Lala Dominguez survived the accident, or was her character removed from NCIS: Origins by the storyline? A resolution to this question might be revealed earlier than anticipated once Season 2 premieres.
