Appearance On NCIS: Los Angeles
In the NCIS: Los Angeles episode "Random on Purpose", Abby, having been previously seen on video-conference or talking to someone from her lab in Washington D.C, arrived in Los Angeles to meet the OSP team as she informed them she was investigating a serial killer called the Phantom who had murdered 15 people all over the country and had also left no DNA or even physical evidence at the scenes.
Having already formed a strong friendship with Eric Beale, Abby developed friendships with the Office of Special Projects (OSP) team, including G. Callen (Chris O'Donnell); Sam Hanna (LL Cool J); and most notably the operations manager Hetty Lange (Linda Hunt) who commented that Abby is "the first NCIS employee has ever met with a sense of style". Abby was later kidnapped by the Phantom, later revealed to be a law firm receptionist named Tom Smith who sought to kill her to keep his identity a secret as he hoped to go around, killing more people, having developed something of a taste for it.
Kensi Blye, another NCIS Special Agent who is an expert in forensics praised Abby for her high levels of thinking, stating that she lived up to the hype.
Although Vance mentioned that Gibbs and the NCIS MCRT team were en route to Los Angeles to rescue her, Abby was saved thanks to the efforts of the OSP team and was later seen telling Gibbs and McGee on a video-conferencing link that she was okay although their faces and voices were not shown.
To date, Abby has not returned to Los Angeles nor has she reappeared in any video-conference calls which strongly suggests that her appearances in Season 1 were just a one-off. It could also be presumed that due to what happened to her in LA and for security reasons, Gibbs and Vance are unwilling to let her return to LA by herself.

Famous quotes containing the words appearance and/or los:
“Men of all professions affect such an air and appearance as to seem to be what they wish to be believed to be—so that one might say the whole world is made up of nothing but appearances.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“Being blunt with your feelings is very American. In this big country, I can be as brash as New York, as hedonistic as Los Angeles, as sensuous as San Francisco, as brainy as Boston, as proper as Philadelphia, as brawny as Chicago, as warm as Palm Springs, as friendly as my adopted home town of Dallas, Fort Worth, and as peaceful as the inland waterway that rubs up against my former home in Virginia Beach.”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
