NCIS Offers a Blink-and-You Missed It Update on the Hawai’i, Los Angeles and New Orleans Teams
Thanks to a universal love of coffee, fans of the larger NCIS-verse this Monday night got an update, of sorts, on the teams based out of Los Angeles, New Orleans, Hawai’i and Sydney.
In this week’s episode of CBS’ NCIS, titled “Bad Blood,” Special Agent Timothy (Farragut) McGee (played by Sean Murray) put on his World’s Best Dad hat to help his and Delilah’s forever-off-screen twins do well with their school’s annual winter fundraiser.

The product he was shilling? Coffee, in three flavors: Fire Brew (with a touch of habanero that Torres liked), Mocha Mania, and Jitter Joe (which is packed with “three times the caffeine”).
McGee wound up not alone in peddling the boxes of brew; Kasie (Diona Reasonover), a huge fan of the Jitter Joe blend, got to helping him work the phones, and at one point she was even heard wrapping a call with the Sydney, Australia office.
But the mentions of other NCIS teams didn’t end there. Far from it.
Later, in Kasie’s lab, one side of her whiteboard detailed the sales she had brokered thus far with the other offices. No reference was made to these names and tick marks, but if you hit pause, you were rewarded with an update on at least a few of the agents still solving naval crimes in the Aloha State, the Big Easy and L.A.
Yes, NCIS: Sydney‘s Mackey (played by Olivia Swann) has loaded up on more than a dozen boxes of the McGee twins’ coffee; maybe it will show up in a Friday night episode of the recently returned international offshoot?
But far more exciting is that fact that Dwayne Pride (played by Scott Bakula back in the day) is still heading up the NOLA outpost; both Kensi Blye and G. Callen (Daniela Ruah and Chris O’Donnell) are still working out of the Office of Special Projects in downtown Los Angeles; and Jane Tennant and Ernie Malik (Vanessa Lachey and Jason Antoon) are keeping the Oahu team properly caffeinated.
How did NCIS settle on this particular sampling of names? That’s a question for the writer of the episode and/or the prop department. But why not throw #Kacy fans a bone? Does the absence of Hetty Lange’s name amongst the team leaders from the other offices mean that she was never found by Sam and Callen? And why does NOLA need so little java?
File all of that under “Likely Unanswerable Questions”….
