‘NCIS: Hawaii’ Season 3 Episode 9 Preview: Photos, “Spill the Tea” Promo and Cast

LeVar Burton directs the penultimate episode of CBS’s NCIS: Hawaii, “Spill the Tea.” The network decided not to renew the NCIS spinoff for a fourth season, so season three episode nine is one of just two new remaining episodes of the primetime drama. Episode nine, written by Ron McGee and Megan Bacharach, airs on Monday, April 29, 2024 at 10pm ET/PT.

Season three stars Vanessa Lachey as Special Agent in Charge Jane Tennant, Alex Tarrant as Kai Holman, Noah Mills as Jesse Boone, and Yasmine Al-Bustami as Lucy Tara. Jason Antoon plays Ernie Malik, Tori Anderson is Kate Whistler, and Kian Talan is Alex Tennant. LL Cool J recurs as Sam Hanna.

“Spill the Tea” Plot: When a high-value bioweapons expert is murdered in a secure facility on Hawai’i, NCIS and the NCIS Elite team join forces to track down the killer and discover an even deadlier threat, on part one of the third (and final) season finale.
