NCIS Season 20, and NCIS: Hawai’i Season 2 are premiering with a crossover event. Which stars are going to cross over to the other series?

We have that information and how this particular crossover could have some romantic tension as a member of the other team competes with Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen) for Special Agent Jessica Knight’s (Katrina Law) affection!

NCIS Season 20 Premiere Starts Hunt For Suspect

When NCIS Season 19 ended on a cliffhanger, Special Agent Alden Parker (Gary Cole) had just left with his ex-wife, Vivian Kolchak (Teri Polo). The team had previously rescued his ex, and now, Parker needs to clear his name. He has been framed for killing his ex-partner.

However, in the vehicle, it seems that Vivian was texting the very person responsible for framing her ex-husband!

Now, in this season opener, entitled “A Family Matter,” Special Agent Jane Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) and Computer Specialist Ernie Malick (Jason Antoon) are in town for another reason. But, after meeting with Director Leon Vance (Rocky Carroll), they wind up helping Parker clear his name and learn more about the mysterious suspect, “The Raven.”

NCIS: Hawai’i Season 2 Opener Continues Search

Continuing the search for The Raven in the Season 2 opener, “Prisoners’ Dilemma,” they find that their suspect is on the island of Oahu. Agents Nick Torres (Wilmer Valderrama), and Jessica Knight (Katrina Law) team up with Tennent’s team to track the suspect. In addition, Parker, Jimmy, and Kasie (Diona Reasonover) are there to help.

Moreover, when they discover his plot to attack RIMPAC (The Rim Of The Pacific Exercises), they have little time to stop a disaster from happening.

The Romantic Rivalry Fans Should Look For

Now that the two teams are meeting up for the second time, will there be some sort of fawning between McGee (Sean Murray) and Ernie?

According to showrunner Steven D. Binder, who spoke with TVLine, there may not be much between the two geeks.

I think that just by virtue of Tim having been around the block for 20 years, he’s inherently not going to be as in awe of Ernie as one might expect.

Now, Ernie might feel differently about that, but Ernie is the new kid on the block, so to speak.

However, Binder did indicate there will be a romantic rivalry.

The one to keep your eye on more is Jimmy and Ernie, they both have a fascination with Agent Knight.
