### Rumors and Speculations Surrounding NCIS: Hawai’i Characters
There have been swirling rumors about potential changes for characters in the NCIS: Hawai’i series, with one particular speculation suggesting that Jane Tennant could replace Jessica Knight on the flagship NCIS series. However, this idea has been met with significant opposition from fans.
### “Rising Sun” Episode Synopsis
In the episode titled “Rising Sun,” set to air on January 16, Special Agent Pike finds himself ambushed while working undercover within a Japanese crime family. The NCIS team must scramble to uncover the mastermind behind the attacks. Additionally, Kai delves deeper into an investigation involving an old friend who has turned to a life of crime.
### Speculations and Concerns
Jessica Knight, who replaced Eleanor Bishop on NCIS, has established herself as a pivotal character. The notion of Jane Tennant stepping into Knight’s shoes has not been well-received by fans. Moving Tennant from Hawai’i to Washington, D.C. seems particularly illogical, especially in light of the abrupt cancellation of NCIS: Hawai’i. Tennant’s entire life, both personal and professional, is deeply rooted in Hawai’i.
### Tennant’s Future
The season 3 finale of NCIS: Hawai’i did not hint at the team disbanding. On the contrary, it depicted them coming together. For Tennant to relocate to Washington, D.C. would entail a significant demotion, where she would be taking orders from Parker and McGee. Such a move would not only disrupt her life but also undermine her skills and leadership, which have been key to her character’s development.
### Possible Crossovers
While a permanent move does not seem to make sense, a crossover episode where Tennant assists with a case in Washington, D.C. could be a plausible and exciting alternative. This would allow for an engaging storyline without permanently uprooting Tennant from Hawai’i.
### Conclusion
The suggestion of Jane Tennant replacing Jessica Knight on NCIS fundamentally undermines Tennant’s established role and the life she has built in Hawai’i. Even if Knight were to leave, fans of Tennant deserve more than seeing her character demoted and relocated. A crossover episode could offer a middle ground, providing an exciting narrative twist without disrupting the core dynamics of either series.
