Nine episodes in, 'NCIS: Hawai'i' has managed to hold on to the healthy ratings that it garnered since the premiere of the season. The latest episode saw Jane Tennant and her team investigate a cold case that sees WWII-era bones on the 80th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor bombings. The ultimate twist comes in the form of the bones that belong to a 100-year-old survivor of the attack.

The season has seen it all so far. Romance, comedy, high-octane action, and crisp storyline — all the elements that have made NCIS a hit procedural. That said, there won't be an episode of 'NCIS: Hawaii'i' till the start of next year. This would mean the show being on its longest break yet.

When does 'NCIS: Hawai'i' Episode 10 air?

The good news: 'NCIS: Hawai'i' returns on CBS on January 3 in its usual time slot (10 pm ET) and the network has also released the synopsis for the episode. The bummer is the wait as the show goes into break during the festive season. The official synopsis reads, "Lost” – NCIS crosses paths with Whistler’s team while investigating a shipping container filled with contraband weapons. Also, Tennant debates arresting Alex’s friend’s dad, knowing it will cause her friend to move away, on the CBS Original series NCIS: Hawai'i, Monday, Jan. 3 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and available to stream live and on-demand on Paramount+*."

What to expect from Episode 10?

Expect more of Kate Whistler (Tori Anderson) in the upcoming episodes. Her relationship with Lucy Tara (Yasmine Al-Bustami) has been one of the key highlights of the show and will surely continue. As far as the plot goes, a strained relationship with her son is over the horizon especially after he finds out about her burgeoning romance with Joe Milius (Enver Gjokaj) who is now at the Pentagon. The character is slated as a guest star, so having him make those odd appearances is still a possibility.

'NCIS: Hawai'i' returns January 3, 10 pm ET on CBS.
