Rumors are swirling regarding potential changes for characters in NCIS: Hawai’i, with one suggesting that Jane Tennant could fill Jessica Knight’s shoes on the flagship NCIS series. However, this idea is met with significant pushback from fans.
Episode Synopsis: “Rising Sun”
In the episode “Rising Sun,” airing January 16, Special Agent Pike faces an ambush while working undercover with a Japanese crime family. The team is tasked with uncovering the mastermind behind these attacks. Additionally, Kai delves deeper into an investigation involving an old friend turned criminal.
Speculations and Concerns
While Knight replaced Bishop on NCIS, the notion of Tennant relocating to Washington, D.C. and stepping into Knight’s role is met with resistance. Considering the sudden cancellation of NCIS: Hawai’i, it seems illogical to uproot Tennant from her life in Hawai’i, where her family and career are deeply rooted.
Tennant’s Future
The season 3 finale of NCIS: Hawai’i hinted at the team growing stronger together, suggesting continuity rather than dispersion. A move for Tennant would imply a significant demotion, with her now taking orders from Parker and McGee. Such a move not only disrupts her life but also diminishes her skills and leadership.
Possible Crossovers
While a permanent relocation seems implausible, a crossover episode where Tennant assists with a case in Washington could offer an intriguing and feasible option.
Conclusion
The proposal of Tennant replacing Knight on NCIS undermines her established role and the life she’s built in Hawai’i. Even if Knight were to leave, Tennant’s fans deserve a narrative that respects her character rather than demoting and relocating her.
