Rumors are swirling within the NCIS fanbase about potential shake-ups for characters from NCIS: Hawai’i, particularly concerning Jane Tennant’s future. One speculation suggests that Tennant could replace Jessica Knight on the flagship NCIS series, but this idea has sparked backlash among many fans.
In the upcoming episode titled “Rising Sun,” scheduled to air on January 16, Special Agent Pike finds himself ambushed while undercover with a Japanese crime family. As the team races to uncover the mastermind behind the attacks, Kai delves deeper into an investigation involving an old friend turned criminal.
However, fans have expressed concerns about the possibility of Tennant making the move from Hawai’i to Washington, D.C. The abrupt cancellation of NCIS: Hawai’i has left some questioning the logic behind such a move, especially considering that Tennant’s entire life, including her family and career, is deeply rooted in Hawai’i.
Furthermore, the season 3 finale of NCIS: Hawai’i portrayed the team coming together rather than breaking apart, making Tennant’s potential relocation to Washington seem like a significant demotion. It raises questions about how she would fit into the dynamic of the NCIS team in D.C., where she would be taking orders from Parker and McGee, potentially undervaluing her skills and leadership.
While a permanent move for Tennant may not make sense, fans suggest that a crossover episode where Tennant assists with a case in Washington could offer an exciting and feasible alternative.
In conclusion, the idea of Tennant replacing Knight on NCIS feels like a disservice to her established role and the life she has built in Hawai’i. Even if Knight were to depart the series, Tennant’s fans deserve a better resolution than seeing her demoted and relocated.
