The Box

The Box is a mysterious package that NCIS Special Agent, Kensi Blye recieved and later gave to her partner, LAPD Detective Liaison, Marty Deeks. Since it's introduction, the Box remained unopened with no knowledge on what it contained inside for many years until its contents were finally revealed in Season 10.
==The Mystery Begins==
In Season 4 episode 14, Kensi first recieved the Box and did not reveal what it contains when Deeks pressed her about the issue. Deeks attempted to open the Box, but stopped when Kensi caught him in the act. A few weeks later, Deeks was surprised to find the Box on his desk and tried to return it to Kensi's desk to avoid getting into trouble. However, Deeks was surprised when Kensi revealed she was giving him the Box and since then, Deeks has not opened it, believing Kensi maybe tricking him. Kensi states her reasons for giving him the Box was to make amends for forgetting his birthday in Drive and the only clue Kensi revealed about what the Box contains is that it's "something Deeks has always wanted". The Box has been stored on a shelf in the Bullpen and it has since remained unopened.
In Season 5, Three Hearts after Deeks and Kensi decide to remain friends despite their feelings for each other, Kensi gets the Box and puts it on Deeks's desk. Deeks finally decides to open the Box, but finds it contains a smaller box inside. Since then, the Box has continued to remain unopened and what's inside continues to remain a mystery.
==The Reveal==
In Season 10, during a case involving a safety deposit box in Heist it brought back memories for Deeks and he mentions the Box that Kensi previously gave him and wonders whatever happened to it. Kensi is surprised when Deeks reveals he doesn't know where the Box is. However, Deeks reassures Kensi he didn't lose the Box, but begins to secretly panic when he realize that he has in fact lost it. Eric and Nell assure Deeks they will find it.
The Box was finally opened in Till Death Do Us Part on the day of Deeks and Kensi's wedding. Before the ceremony, Kensi instructed Deeks he needed to open the Box and he began desperately searching for it until Nell revealed it was the armoury. After 6 years, Deeks finally opened the Box, but is surprised to find pop up snakes. He empties out the Box and discovers a key and believes the key is a symbol, meaning he has the key to Kensi's heart. However, Nell reveals it's actually a key to one of the lockers, revealing the Box's true contents had been move down for safe keeping. Deeks retrieves the contents from the locker and finds an envelope. He later opens the envelope and finds it contains a wedding ring and a heartfelt letter from Kensi's expressing her love for him.
