‘NCIS: Hawai’i’ Season Finale Is Bringing Back 2 Familiar Guest Stars, Plus How Will Season 3 End?

We’re just about halfway through NCIS: Hawai’i‘s third season, but we’re already looking ahead to the two-part finale—and have some teases about what to expect!

“There’s NCIS Elite. There are two special visits,” Alex Tarrant (who plays Kai) tells TV Insider. We have confirmed that one of the two familiar guest stars popping up in the Season 3 finale is Agent John Swift (Henry Ian Cusick), with the other remaining a mystery. (This will be Cusick’s second appearance this season.)

“There is definitely a special twist that comes in towards the end. It was a shock to me when I was reading the scripts, that’s for sure,” Tarrant continues. And yes, the finale “most definitely … ends on a cliffhanger.”

He’s also excited because “Kai actually hasn’t had very many fights this season, but in the finale, we really get to see something significant within his physical capability.” In general, expect more action from Kai as well as him “looking after the team and trying to be a good teammate.”

Kai has really settled into the team after he was the newbie at the start of the series. In a way, art imitates life. “For me this has been the most enjoyable season so far. I think the first two seasons, I’m from New Zealand, so I’m kind of juggling the accent and then trying to do the whole acting thing. So this is the first season where I felt like everything has come together and I can really just have fun with everyone,” Tarrant explains.

When it comes to his character, “I think he felt like an outsider coming in in the first season and Kai has gone through this amazing transformation, especially looking back at it from Season 1 to where he is now. He’s more open,” continues the star. “I think he’s freer to express himself in the ways that he knows that his team won’t judge him for. So I think that’s such an awesome thing. I’ve been really enjoying this progression of Kai.”

What do you think will bring Swift back? And who are you hoping the other familiar guest star in the finale is? Let us know in the comments section, below.

NCIS: Hawai’i, Mondays, 10/9c, CBS

Ian’s character, Supervisor Agent John Swift, makes his season 3 debut tonight in the show’s second episode of the new season, titled “Crash and Burn”.

‘NCIS: Hawai’i’ First Look: Henry Ian Cusick Returns — But Swift’s Not Here for Reason Jane Thinks (VIDEO)

Meredith Jacobs February 15, 1:00 pm

We’ve heard about Supervisor Agent John Swift of the Office of Special Projects (Henry Ian Cusick) and Sam Hanna (LL COOL J) being in contact on NCIS: Hawai’i, and now we’ll get to see that in action.

Cusick returns in the CBS drama’s third season, and TV Insider can exclusively unveil first look photos (below) and a sneak peek of him in the second episode, “Crash and Burn,” airing February 19.

“[Swift is] a big reason why we have Sam,” Vanessa Lachey (who plays boss Jane Tennant) told us ahead of the premiere. “Swift comes in. Swift deals with Sam. Sam has a really interesting dynamic with Swift as well. He puts me with Jane,” LL COOL J added.

And now, in the sneak peek, which you can watch above, Jane and Sam join Swift in her office. “What we need to speak about is sensitive,” he says. “I know why you’re here. You don’t think I’m fit for duty. It’s why you sent Sam to babysit me,” Jane says, which Swift denies … sort of. Watch the full sneak peek above for more, including why Swift is in Hawai’i, which includes the reason behind the Russian mob’s breach of the U.S. Marshals service and them taking down the plane in the premiere.

Cusick’s Swift was introduced in the penultimate episode of Season 2, with Jesse Boone (Noah Mills) and Kai Holman (Alex Tarrant) finding him standing in Jane’s office. Then, Sam came to Jane and Kate Whistler’s (Tori Anderson) aid in Caracas in the finale, and upon returning to Hawai’i, Jane thanked Swift for sending Sam. “Sounds like you handled it just fine,” he told her.

Last time Swift was seen, he was on the phone and commenting about the team (and Jane) on a call we only heard his side of, “It’s a solid group, loyal. Based on what I’ve seen, very by-the-book. This whole situation seems like an exception. No, I’m not sure what other secrets she’s hiding, or what other cretins this will bring out of the woodwork. Well, that’s the problem with our friends at the CIA. Yeah, couldn’t hurt to plus-up the team. I’ve got an idea who.”

Also coming up in the February 19 episode, following the crash of a prisoner transport plane, the NCIS team must find the convicts that escaped onto the island. Meanwhile, Sam Hanna and Tennant are tasked with locating a high-profile Russian prisoner known as “The Chemist.”

Another NCIS Franchise Return Confirmed In Hawaii Season 3 Images

By Nick Bythrow

Another NCIS franchise return is confirmed in new images from NCIS: Hawai’i season 3, revealing which familiar face will be coming back.

Summary

  • Henry Ian Cusick returns as Agent John Swift in NCIS: Hawai’i season 3, episode 2.
  • Swift is seen collaborating with the NCIS team in new images from the upcoming episode.
  • His return in season 3 accompanies that of LL Cool J as Sam Hanna, who has played the character since NCIS: Los Angeles .

New images from NCIS: Hawai’i season 3 reveal the return of a familiar character from the franchise, the latest familiar face to appear in the spinoff. The newest season features the return of LL Cool J as Sam Hanna, having previously appeared in scattered episodes throughout season 2. Hanna was previously a leading character on NCIS: Los Angeles, having appeared all the way through season 14.

Now, TV Insider has confirmed the return of Henry Ian Cusick as Agent John Swift, revealing images of him in NCIS: Hawai’i season 3, episode 2. The new photos of the Office of Special Projects agent show him working alongside the NCIS in their case. Check out the images below:

What Swift’s Return Means For NCIS: Hawaii Season 3

Henry Ian Cusick as Agent John Swift in NCIS Hawaii season 2

Swift was first introduced in season 2, episode 21, where he later sent Hanna to help Jane Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) following her capture. He also spoke to someone on the phone at the end of season 2, praising the team for their ability to work together. However, it’s still unclear what his overarching role in the show is aside from his employment with the Office of Special Projects.

His upcoming appearance in the show will likely have to do with Tennant and Hanna tracking down a Russian prisoner named “The Chemist,” since one image shows him standing beside the show’s protagonist. His involvement in the case exhibits its high-profile nature, perhaps hinting at the types of cases to expect in the rest of the season. He may even become a regular guest on the show, joining other NCIS: Hawai’i characters on their future missions.

Given the number of surprising storylines that could happen, it’s possible other familiar faces from the past could appear in season 3. While Swift hasn’t officially joined the main cast of characters, it’s possible his role is expanded upon in NCIS: Hawai’i season 4, should the series get renewed. With plenty of intrigue for the show’s future still in store, it remains to be seen how the new character fits into the larger narrative.

NCIS: Hawai’i season 3, episode 2 airs Monday, February 19 on CBS

NCIS: Hawai’i character returns for new episode

A new episode of NCIS: Hawai’i has a surprise for viewers and boss Jane Tennant (played by Vanessa Lachey).

Supervisor Agent John Swift of the Office of Special Projects (played by Henry Ian Cusick) is back.

His title is a mouthful, but his job seems to encompass more than previously revealed.

Swift first appeared in the final two episodes of NCIS: Hawai’i Season 2 (Past Due and Dies Irae).

While he is on the side of bringing down the bad guys, he does it in a way that can ruffle the feathers of people he works with. Add Tennant to that list.

Now Swift is back for NCIS: Hawai’i Season 3, Episode 2, and he has a surprising revelation for Tennant.

Who is Henry Ian Cusick on the NCIS: Hawai’i cast?

Cusick is probably best known for his role as Desmond Hume on Lost. The character was mysterious and brought much intrigue to the hit ABC show.

Cusick played Marcus Kane on The 100, Russ Taylor on MacGyver, and Stephen Finch on Scandal.

And now Cusick is playing John Swift in the NCIS Universe.

Swift sent Agent Sam Hanna (LL Cool J) to save the day at the end of Season 2. Hanna was on the NCIS: Los Angeles team, but now he is helping Jane Tennant in Hawai’i.

“It’s a solid group, loyal. Based on what I’ve seen, very by-the-book. This whole situation seems like an exception. No, I’m not sure what other secrets she’s hiding, or what other cretins this will bring out of the woodwork. Well, that’s the problem with our friends at the CIA. Yeah, couldn’t hurt to plus-up the team. I’ve got an idea who,” Swift said during a mysterious phone call in Season 2.

Then Hanna turned up. And his addition to the NCIS: Hawai’i cast has been a good one.

Henry Ian Cusick returns to NCIS: Hawai’i cast

Following the crashing of a prisoner transport plane, Cusick’s character pops back up on NCIS: Hawai’i. His appearance is in Season 3, Episode 2, debuting on February 19.

Swift admits to Tennant that he sent Hanna to watch her, but that’s not why he is back in town.

A Russian terrorist has escaped during the plane crash, and Swift is there to convince Hanna and Tennant to capture him and bring him back alive. He has a stockpile of dangerous weapons, and Swift wants to know their location.

This gives Hanna an excuse to work another case with Tennant. It all begins at 10/9c on Monday, February 19.

NCIS: Hawai’i airs Monday at 10/9c on CBS.
