'NCIS: Hawai'i' provided the biggest twist in Season 1 Episode 13 by revealing Julie White's Maggie Shaw as a double agent. Introduced as Jane Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) in the first season, the character was pretty much in the shadows until a two-parter put her in the spotlight. Safe to say, both the episodes were pivotal for the show and rattled the Tennant-led outfit. One of the episodes featured a Chinese spy ring headed by an infamous operative codenamed Bao.

Things went south when it was revealed that Maggie was in fact, a double agent. In addition to the episode giving an insight into Tennant and Maggie's relationship, it also outlined how the latter played for both sides. Bao was finally unmasked as Maggie's son and that was the reason she worked with the MSS so she could spend more time with him. The chapter ends with her transported to an undisclosed location, but the ramifications for Tennant and her team are distinctly clear.
