I love that the NCIS franchise (empire let’s be real) believes in girl!dad supremacy

first and last appearance of the main four

A/N: This is based solely on the single episode of Hawaii I’ve watched this season and tidbits I’ve been told. I also add in my own details that are not canon at all. It’s my way.

Deeks: So, how are you settling into Hawaii?

Sam: Good. It’s starting to feel more normal, like I’m part of the team.

Deeks, with mock outrage: How dare you forget about us so quickly. Does the better part of two decades mean nothing to you.

Sam, laughing: Relax, Deeks. None of them will ever replace you and that crazy hair of yours.

Deeks: I always knew you loved my hair.

Sam, genuinely: Absence does make the heart grow fonder. I’ve been having fun messing with them. Some of these kids are just too damn easy. They believe everything. Kensi might have been a little green at first, but she stood up pretty well to me and Callen, and Eric was always surprisingly snarky when he wanted to be. And you. I knocked you out flat and you turned right around to have me arrested. Annoyed the hell out of me then, but I miss that too.

Deeks: That’s surprisingly sweet. We miss you too. How exactly do you mess with these guys.

Sam, smiling again: I convinced one kid he had to train with me. Even made him juice.

Deeks: Ooh, please tell me it was nasty.

Sam, happily: The worst I’ve ever made. And you’ll love this. I used your version of rock, paper, scissors to score some sweet tickets and a bottle of not too shabby bourbon.

Deeks: West Coast Rules for the win! Though that is a little harsh.

Sam: Hey, they have to learn.

Deeks: And the bottle of whiskey doesn’t hurt.

Sam: Exactly.

LL Cool J as Sam Hanna & Chris O’Donnell as G Callen NCIS: LOS ANGELES (2009 - 2023) Season 14, Episode 16: Sleeping Dogs

I can't wait 😍

Why is Sam (LL COOL J) in Hawai’i? That’s the mystery that’s been set up across the first three episodes of NCIS: Hawai’i Season3, and as Vanessa Lachey told us, “Tennant will figure it out.” Well, we’re certainly seeing her trying to do just that.

It all began in the premiere, when Ernie (Jason Antoon) tried to get anything out of Sam, only to come to the conclusion that he’s hiding something, despite the agent’s insistence he’s not. Then, in the second episode, Swift (Henry Ian Cusick), on his way out, told Tennant that Sam was sticking around and she’d have to ask him why. Sam evaded the question and would only say that brass has him teaching a seminar on unconventional tactics in modern law enforcement.

Now, in the third episode, Ernie remains suspicious of Sam, especially since he’s going around telling everyone about that seminar, as he notes to Tennant. It’s odd, that NCIS would send its top OSP agent to Hawai’i to teach a class. She agrees, but she doesn’t get anything more out of Sam, who tells her she can’t attend the seminar because it’s fully booked.

Then, Tennant and Kai (Alex Tarrant) find Sam has taken over the war room—and set it to SCIF (sensitive compartmented information facility) level—for some work. “I was checking in with Kensi and Deeks back in LA, getting some details about a past case,” he claims, agreeing, when she suggests it, that it was for his seminar. “Safety first,” he says. Tennant’s clearly not buying any of it … which is why she tracks his visitor ID’s access and follows when he sets foot in the old admin basement across the street that hasn’t been used since WWII. Inside, she finds him teaching his seminar. It’s both as frustrating as Tennant finds it and entertaining as it sounds. But come on, would you expect this to play out any other way?

At the end of the episode, Tennant joins Sam on his boat, and he again pretends he’s just in Hawai’i for the seminar. As far as an official cover goes, it’s a good one, she remarks, reminding him, “I spent half my life as a CIA officer. I know cover.” It doesn’t matter what she believes, she adds, just that she trusts him and she knows he’ll tell her why he’s really in Hawai’i when he can.

But we’re not as patient as Tennant is. Now, we have to wonder if Sam was really talking to Kensi and Deeks (played by Daniela Ruah and Eric Christian Olsen on NCIS: Los Angeles, which ended its 14-season run in May 2023) or someone else, plus if it was about a past case or something else. Before he came to the island, Sam was last seen in the LA finale in Morocco, alongside Callen (Chris O’Donnell), Nell (Renée Felice Smith), and the team she’d put together—including Nate (Peter Cambor) and Sabatino (Erik Palladino)—as part of the mission to rescue Hetty. He was still there and therefore in the neighborhood, when he came to Tennant and Kate’s (Tori Anderson) aid in the Hawai’i Season 2 finale.

Could Sam have been talking to Kensi and Deeks or someone from that team Nell put together about Hetty? We haven’t heard anything about that mission to rescue her. What if Sam’s in Hawai’i because that’s the only place to get information as to her location or something that will help there? Or maybe there’s another open case that Sam’s working and he was talking to Kensi and Deeks about that. It could even technically be a past case that was never closed and therefore he wasn’t technically lying to Tennant and Kai. This could be why LL COOL J was vague when we tried to find out if we’d get an update on any of the LA characters with him now on Hawai’i.

Whatever’s going on, at least it’s clear that we will get answers, with Ernie suspicious and Tennant letting Sam know that he can talk to her when he can. What do you think is going on? Let us know in the comments below.

Touch of death (h50 2x21 & NCIS LA 3x21 crossover episodes) and... Three times when Danny Williams felt like a suspect 😉

I. Steve is in Japan, Danny is in Steve's house, Chin comes and...

Don't look at Danny like that, Chin. And please, don't be too curious. Leave it, man. You just have to believe that he has a... a... um... a key. Cause he was crashing there, you know. And don't even try to ask what Danny means by "crashing" (there with Steve).

Danny: *Phew! He changed the topic, good. My alibi is strong*

Chin: *chuckling mentally*

II. Danny is calling Sam Hanna, he needs his help so he says "I'm detective Danny Williams from Five-0 blah blah blah" and then...

A friend of mine. A colleague. A Seal/cop guy who works with me in the same team. Non-stranger. Fellow human being... You know, um, McGarrett...

aka: What to call Steve so Sam won't think that Danny is head over heels in love with Steve.

Danny: *Phew! Good that I added "a colleague" word*

Sam: *trying not to laugh maniacally* *oh yeah, detective Williams, I know McGarrett but I didn't know that he's got a boyfriend* *winking mentally*

III. The Five-O/NCIS case is solved. Danny, Chin and NCIS team are at NCIS' HQ. They're joking and talking, they need some beer and shower blah blah blah. And then there's... this:

No, uh... You know, we left Kono there. She's alone. She can't fight with all Hawaiian crime alone, right? And Monkey misses me and um...

Danny: *Phew! My alibis are the best*

NCIS team: *Geez, it must be a Very Hot Date* *chuckling mentally*

Chin, also mentally: *Hot date? Not yet! But he desperately needs to be in Hawaii as soon as possible. Cause, you know guys, his future(?) boyfriend Steve McGarrett is in Japan and Danny needs to be in Hawaii to wait for him! And you know, there is a lady, Catherine, she, huh, she's often around Danny's boyfriend when Danny isn't there so you know... DANNY REALLY NEEDS TO COME BACK*
