As die-hard fans will remember, Enver Gjokaj was cast as the recurring character, Navy Captain Joe Milius in 2021. Having starred in numerous episodes across seasons one and two, the character’s return will certainly be an interesting one, given his on-off romance with the show’s leading lady, special agent Jane Tennant (played by Vanessa Lachey).

Fans last saw Captain Joe in the series one finale, during which he and Jane had an emotional discussion about the future of their relationship. After realising that the distance between them was too much – Jane’s whole life is in Hawaii while Joe is based in Washington DC – the pair decided to spend his final three days together as a couple before saying goodbye.

So, could season two see a rekindled romance? Fingers crossed! NCIS: Hawai’i’s executive producer Jan Nash previously spoke about Enver’s return, telling TV Insider: “He is a super-talented guy, and he got another job, so he has not been available to us … But we are hopeful that we’ll be able to see him again. We love him. Enver is a great guy. He is great as Joe Milius, we love that dynamic, so we’re hopeful.”

As for what the episode will be about, the official synopsis reads: “Captain Milius returns to Hawai’i as the NCIS team works to catch a dangerous high-value U.S. Government target with the help of an informant unlike any they’ve ever encountered. Also, Tennant and Daniel deal with Alex’s acceptance into the Naval Academy.”
