In Monday night’s episode of CBS’ recently canceled NCIS: Hawai’i, tensions ran high as the team raced against time to solve the murder of Volkov, aka The Chemist, and prevent the deadly Compound X from falling into the wrong hands. Part 1 of the Season 3 finale left viewers on the edge of their seats, with plenty of twists and a heartbreaking loss.
The episode kicked off with a shocking abduction, as Jesse, Kai, and Lucy found themselves forcefully taken by members of the NCIS Elite team. Soon, they were brought to a top-secret holding center where Jane and her team, including Dr. Chase, were called in to investigate Volkov’s murder. It turned out that Volkov had been slowly poisoned by his daily tea, a routine Special Agent Swift had been intimately involved in. Dr. Chase’s expertise eventually uncovered that Volkov’s compromised immune system made him susceptible to the herbal supplement in his tea, triggering a fatal allergic reaction.
Meanwhile, Kai and Lucy stumbled upon a dangerous individual linked to the Bratva faction, sending both the NCIS regular and Elite teams on a frantic chase. A violent confrontation ensued, resulting in casualties on the Bratva side and the rescue of Dr. Annalise Cruz, Volkov’s assistant, who had been held captive.
As the investigation unfolded, Dr. Cruz revealed chilling details about Compound X, a deadly bioweapon capable of mass destruction. Despite their efforts, the team struggled to locate Volkov’s fourth and final lab, where the deadly substance was being produced. With time running out, Sam and the Elite team, accompanied by Jane, Jesse, Dr. Chase, and Dr. Cruz, embarked on a high-stakes mission to Belgrade.

The team’s daring move raised questions about jurisdiction, but Sam explained that the Elite’s mandate was to tackle problems covertly and swiftly. With the help of local contacts, they armed themselves and set out to confront the Bratva boss, Lev Fedorov, in a risky bid for crucial information. Jane’s bold approach paid off, but before she could warn Sam about Dr. Cruz’s deception, it was already too late.
In a devastating turn of events, Dr. Cruz revealed her true allegiance by releasing Compound X in an airlock, trapping Rosemary, Thyme, and New Jesse inside. Helpless, Sam could only watch as his teammates faced imminent danger.
