### NCIS: Hawai’i’s Cliffhanger and Potential Character Crossover
Despite its recent cancellation, *NCIS: Hawai’i* ended on a dramatic cliffhanger, leaving fans eager for resolution and leading many to call out CBS. However, there’s still hope that the show’s main character, Jane Tennant, could continue within the *NCIS* franchise without the series returning to screens.
The cancellation might not spell the end for Tennant, as there could be a fitting place for her in the upcoming *NCIS: Origins*. This new show, set in 1991, will explore the early days of Leroy Jethro Gibbs at the NCIS Camp Pendleton office. This setting could potentially accommodate Tennant’s character, especially since recent events suggest there’s room for her in the franchise’s timeline.
In the season 21 finale of the original *NCIS* series, Special Agent Jessica Knight accepts a position as the REACT Chief Training Officer at Camp Pendleton, leaving her spot on the Major Case Response Team (MCRT) vacant. Fans have speculated that Tennant could take over Knight’s role, thereby tying up the cliffhanger from *NCIS: Hawai’i*.
However, this move could be seen as a demotion for Tennant, who holds the prestigious position of Special Agent-in-Charge in Hawai’i. Instead of taking Knight’s place, another viable option is for Tennant to step in as a temporary replacement for Alden Parker, who was injured in the season 21 finale of *NCIS*. This scenario seems promising, especially given the unexpected appearance of Tennant’s former mentor, Maggie Shaw, in the final episode of *NCIS: Hawai’i* with urgent news.
While the exact future of Tennant’s character remains uncertain, these potential crossovers offer exciting possibilities for fans hoping to see more of her in the *NCIS* universe.
