Plot explored: Threat to National Security amidst issues with the cartel

CBS has released the official plot of the first episode, along with the release date and time. NCIS: Hawai'i season 3 episode 1 is titled Run and Gun, and the synopsis for it reads as follows:

"After passing her medical and psych evaluations, Tennant is surprised to see Sam Hanna conducting her final interview to clear her return to work. Also, when the team discovers a breach in the U.S. Marshal's database, Sam joins Tennant in Las Vegas to locate the hacker."

Season 3 will pick up where season 2 left off, and we will see Jane Tennant and her team contend with new and more challenging cases, including data breaches, which are a matter of National Security.

There is a possibility that Tennant might try tracking her fugitive former mentor, who escaped custody in the last season.

They will also be investigating a series of murders that are most likely related to a cartel, and special agent Lucy Tara will become a focus for this season.
