We go behind the scenes of NCIS: Los Angeles to give you a sneak peek of this week's episode in which the real-life moms of several cast members actually guest star alongside their famous kids!

The show's creator Shane Brennan said the idea for the unique episode came to him when he met some of the parents on the set. After that, he said writers were tasked with creating "the prefect, script and perfect episode" to bring all the moms together for the episode.
