While the team searches for military ordinance smuggled onto the island in a cargo container, Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) struggles with a personal decision after discovering an issue involving the father of one of her son’s friends. The search for the missing guns brings back Sharif Atkins as Boom-Boom and offers a few twists and turns including an even more valuable item hidden in the cargo container that was worth a thief cutting off two of his own fingers to avoid suspicion.

Taking place in Hawaii, it only makes since that NCIS: Hawai’i would eventual get around to a Pearl Harbor episode. “Impostor” offers some nice twists as the body of a sailor killed in the 40s is found leading to questions about the true identity of the retired soldier who has been living under his name for more than seven decades. The fact that the war hero has massive local support and is suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease makes the cold case even tougher for Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) and her team.  The B-story also showcases Lucy (Yasmine Al-Bustami) attempting to make more of an effort in her relationship with Whistler (Tori Anderson) while also touching lightly on Tennant struggling to talk to her daughter about racism.

NCIS: Hawai’i – Legacy

“Legacy” offers one night of romance for Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) and the departing Joe (Enver Gjokaj) while offering a case of the week involving the death of a protestor on an uncooperative tech billionaire’s (Rob Benedict) land. Stonewalled by the tycoon and his lawyers, the team investigates the protestor and uncovers an unexpected connection between him and both their suspect and his wife (Jenna Leigh Green). The murder of the week is solid with various B-stories offering peeks into core characters such as Kai (Alex Tarrant) siding with the protestors and a revelation of Lucy‘s (Yasmine Al-Bustami) family wealth. I’d expect to see each of these threads to be developed further, and I’m not so certain we’ve seen the final departure of Captain Joe.

When a Navy petty officer is killed and his famous Coast Guard girlfriend (Ashleigh LaThrop) is targeted from by a monster (Ashton Holmes) from her past who she put in prison for a decade, NCIS steps in. Mark Gessner guest-stars as the prickly CGIS agent assigned to the case who is known for doing things his own way. The case fits the basic formula of the show with the team struggling to get the truth from the young woman before being able to protect her and get justice for her boyfriend. We also get a callback to Lucy‘s (Yasmine Al-Bustami) fear of the water in what seems like the show is setting up something for her character later this season.
