Henry Ian Cusick will visit CBS’ NCIS: Hawai’i for a season-ending arc that involves a blast from Special Agent in Charge Jane Tennant’s CIA past.

TVLine has learned exclusively — and as seen in the first-look photos above and below — that Lost and MacGyver alum Cusick guest-stars in Season 2’s two-part finale as Supervisor Agent John Swift of the Office of Special Projects.

Swift enters the fray when Tennant (played by Vanessa Lachey) gets into some seriously hot water, after the team leader travels out of the country on a very personal case from her past.

Cusick’s role is described as open-ended, and may continue into Season 3, TVLine hears.

NCIS: Hawai’i‘s two-part season ender kicks off Monday, May 15, with the episode “Past Due,” in which the discovery of a dead former MI6 agent uncovers secrets from Tennant’s past, forcing her to go to extreme, aforementioned lengths to track down the responsible party.

Then in “Dies Irae,” airing May 22, a figure from Tennant’s CIA past re-emerges — Julie White’s “Aunt” Maggie Shaw — forcing the NCIS team to seek help from the most unlikely place in order to catch a killer who threatens to destroy everything Tennant has built.

White’s character was last seen midway through Season 1 of the CBS series, when Jane’s mentor was revealed to be a pit of a spy for the Chinese, and as such got remanded to the FBI.

CIS: Hawai’i fans, prepare for a dramatic season finale, as Jane Tennant (played by Vanessa Lachey) gets into some seriously hot water that leads to familiar faces from her past making an appearance. 

The two-part finale will see Lost star Henry Ian Cusick make a visit to Hawaii as Supervisor Agent John Swift of the Office of Special Projects.  He will join the NCIS team when Jane will travel “out of the country on a very personal case from her past”, reports TV Line, and with the character’s role in the team remaining open by the closing credits, it may not be the last time we see him. 

The season finale will be a two-parter, and the first episode will air on May 15, and the second will be broadcast on May 22. 

The episodes will also see two other familiar faces return – that of Maggie Shaw, played by Julie White, and Linc Hand as Charlie 1. 

Maggie was introduced in season one as a former mentor of Jane;s but she was discovered to be a double agent spy for the Chinese and the mother of a wanted spy and was arrested. Charlie 1 was a Navy SEAL first seen in the season one finale and now working as a Private Military Contractor.
