NCIS: Hawai'i - The Complete Second Season

The Second Season of NCIS: Hawai’i brings more challenges for Jane Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) and her team, crossovers with the other NCIS shows, and a prolonged absence for Lucy (Yasmine Al-Bustami) who takes a temporary assignment as agent afloat. The show does check in with her from time to time, including giving her a mystery to solve on her own in “Misplaced Targets,” but her absence from Hawai’i is felt over a number of episodes before her eventual return.

For the two-part season finale the show taps into a case from Tennant‘s (Vanessa Lachey) days in the CIA. Opening with Tennant being found at a murder scene, the leader of the team spends little time with them over the two-part episode as she heads halfway around the world for answers in search of a ghost she believed was killed years ago. The episode gets Whistler (Tori Anderson) into the field helping Tennant, although getting left behind at times, while leaving Lucy (Yasmine Al-Bustami) to worry at after both her boss and her girlfriend (who doesn’t exactly blend in to her surroundings).

In an episode that also clues us in on how Ernie (Jason Antoon) spends his free time, and less successfully introduces a , the story focuses on Lucy (Yasmine Al-Bustami) investigating a trouble soldier who calls in one night confessing to a murder. While I’m not against the show using Kai (Alex Tarrant) to explore issues soldiers return home with, the sudden injection of unresolved issues for the character seems shoehorned in simply to give his character something to do without the show laying groundwork for the reveal.

Reminding me of Castle‘s 2015 episode “The Wrong Stuff,” NCIS comes in on an investigation involving the death inside a top-secret Mars simulation. The nature of the simulation, and red tape involved, keep NCIS outside the habitat where the other astronauts are training allowing only Ernie (Jason Antoon) access which becomes an issue when they realize everyone inside, including Ernie, is being exposed to dangerous gases that led to the death of one astronaut and odd behavior of others as well.

NCIS: Hawai’i – Bread Crumbs

NCIS: Hawai’i offers a well-worn story trope for the action/cop show when Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) goes missing when the helicopter transferring a prisoner (Dylan Kenin) across the island goes down in the jungle. While her team begins the search to find her, Tennant and the only other agent (Nick Creegan) not hurt in the crash go after the prisoner only to find themselves wounded themselves and trapped in a cave deep in the wilderness and far from the eyes of those who will come looking for them.
