NCIS: Hawai’i’s finale may not have been planned as a series ender, but it’s a fitting farewell for Vanessa Lachey’s Jane Tennant. “Divided We Conquer” picks up seamlessly from the previous episode’s cliffhanger, keeping viewers engaged despite less action. However, the big problem remains: the show’s cancellation.
The episode continues the team’s pursuit of Compound X, making it personal for one member while involving the entire squad. It strikes a balance between excitement and staying true to the series.
The previous episode set up the threat of Compound X, raising the stakes for the finale. Many shows struggle to deliver on such high expectations, either by overcomplicating the plot or underdelivering on the resolution. “Divided We Conquer” avoids these pitfalls by focusing on the NCIS team’s unique perspective on the crisis.
