Hawai'i's Romance Between Lucy And Kate Already Doomed?

Despite Lucy Tara and Kate Whistler's apparent breakup in "Spies, Part 1," the second part of the two-part series, "Spies, Part 2," does not give fans of the couple any sort of conclusion about where their relationship truly stands. Throughout their relationship, Whistler and Tara kept their romance a secret from their fellow NCIS agents. However, during an interview with TVLine, "NCIS: Hawai'i" writer Christopher Silber hinted that Whistler and Tara's relationship might not be over for good — and that their colleagues will soon learn all about their private relationship. "We have ALL the scoop on Lucy and Whistler, and can't wait to share the twists and turns of their very satisfying relationship. As for the team finding out ... they will, indeed," Silber told TVLine.

During her own interview with Looper published in early January 2022, Tori Anderson, who portrays Whistler on "NCIS: Hawai'i," also spoke about the future of Whistler and Tara's relationship. "Obviously, Kate is struggling with having a relationship in the work environment, whereas Lucy is much more open to that," Anderson told Looper. "But there's a bit of softening to Kate. Lucy brings out this beautiful side of Kate that she's starting to embrace. It's a bit of a bumpy journey, and there's going to be ups and downs. I'll just say that."
