- Title: NCIS: Hawai’i – Divided We Conquer
- wiki: link
Setting a record for the shortest NCIS spin-off ever (there’s a challenge for you NCIS: Sydney), NCIS: Hawai’i kicks off its series finale with Dr. Analisa Cruz (Rachel Marsh) getting away with the bioweapon, NCIS: Elite dead, and Hanna (LL Cool J) getting infected by Compound-X. Tennant (Vanessa Lachey), Jesse (Noah Mills), and Dr. Chase (Seana Kofoed) work on keeping Hanna alive while Kai (Alex Tarrant), Lucy (Yasmine Al-Bustami), Ernie (Jason Antoon), and Whistler (Tori Anderson) work to track the missing terrorists (who return to Hawaii) and the Compound-X.
Highlights from the final episode include some bickering between Lucy and Ernie, one last last-minute twist, Tennant’s psychological torture of Cruz (with the help of a few friends), and Kai and Lucy getting hero moments taking down the other terrorists before they exposed military families to the bioweapon. Less effective is Hanna’s dead man sweating scenes or the show’s failure to sell any real possibility of his death. The series closes out with a final toast for the cast and the tease of the return of Maggie () for a plot thread that likely may never see the light of day (unless it’s picked up by one of the other shows).
