[edit]

Agents from Hawaii and Los Angeles convene in DC to attend the retirement party of Dale Harding (Robert Picardo), a beloved FLETC professor, but when he commits suicide that morning the teams work together to determine why he had classified files. McGee is briefly thought to be responsible for treason, though he is cleared of wrongdoing soon after. The case escalates to a manhunt for Simon Williams, whose picture has been on the NCIS Most Wanted wall for a lengthy period, then takes a grim turn when Palmer and Tennant go missing.

Part 2: NCIS: Hawaiʻi Season 2 Episode 10 "Deep Fake"

[edit]

Tennant and DC medical examiner Jimmy Palmer, along with Los Angeles agent Sam Hanna, are kidnapped and held prisoner by a woman claiming to be a CIA agent investigating Simon Williams. Meanwhile, DC agent-in-charge Parker works with the Hawaii branch to find their missing teammates. They have a similar situation with a CIA agent, who turns out to be an imposter. The team eventually discovers that Simon Williams is the name for a computer program responsible for years worth of data, and that anyone affiliated with it is now in grave danger. Upon discovering that one of the members is none other than his boss, retired Navy Admiral Hollace Kilbride, Sam's partner, NCIS Special Agent G. Callen prepares to return to Los Angeles with Tennant accompanying him.
