The NCIS: Hawai’i season 3 finale was about to end on a positive note with Tennant reuniting with her family after a stressful day at work when Maggie Shaw appeared instead. When Tennant returned home hoping to see her daughter, Shaw told her that her daughter Julie was not there and that Jane would probably “need a drink for what’s coming next.” The NCIS: Hawai’i cliffhanger implied terrible consequences for Jane’s family, particularly for her young daughter. With no guaranteed next season, the ending was left open by CBS with no chance of reversing it.
The Cliffhanger That Left Us Gasping
Remember that jaw-dropping season finale of NCIS: Hawai’i? Yeah, the one that had us shouting at our TVs and scouring Reddit for clues? Well, Jane Tennant herself—played by the ever-fierce Vanessa Lachey—just dropped an update that could flip the entire story on its head. So, what’s the tea? Let’s break down exactly what Tennant’s update means for the series, the cliffhanger, and where our favorite agents might be headed next.
While there is still no update about what exactly happened to Julie and what Shaw meant, Hanna’s information in NCIS season 22, episode 18, has revealed that Tennant’s kids are safe. It is small but has a major impact. Whatever happened immediately after the NCIS: Hawai’i series finale is not irreversible, but it’s great to know that Tennant is happy, safe, and loving home. This does not make up for the spinoff’s cancelation, but it does offer some relief.

The update about Tennant’s family might also hint that her family was safe all along and that Shaw had just placed her daughter in a safe place as a precaution. Another option is that Julie could have been out with some friends or family and Shaw just wanted a private conversation with Tennant before she came back. Whatever the case, Tennant’s family is officially safe, which provides some solace after the frustrating cliffhanger.
Tennant’s recent update didn’t just reignite interest—it poured gasoline on the fire. If her words are any indication, we’re in for a thrilling, emotional, and possibly heartbreaking journey in the next season of NCIS: Hawai’i. The cliffhanger might not be solved in the first episode, but rest assured—it’s not being swept under the rug. So, keep your theories sharp and your eyes peeled. Because if there’s one thing we know for sure—it’s that in the world of NCIS, nothing is ever as it seems.
