Yep, the dynamic duo swapped faces and it's totally mesmerizing.
As for Season 8, Eric and Daniela explained some of the planning for their characters, Deeks and Kensi. In case you hadn't heard, Daniela is currently pregnant with her second child, which, according to Eric, was a "catalyst for changing the storyline—and it's for the best."

"Perspective-altering obstacles," Eric added.
Since their panel was on Throwback Thursday, Eric and Daniela also revealed their very first gigs as actors.
