The episode, which marks a historic moment for the long-running series, will not only feature Kensi and Jane but also introduce a new twist in the storyline.

Recently, she directed an episode of\u00a0NCIS<\/em>\u00a0(Season 21, Episode 4) and will also direct the following episode of\u00a0NCIS: Hawai\u2019i<\/em>\u00a0on the heels of this special event. In her time away from acting on\u00a0NCIS: Los Angeles<\/em>, she\u2019s continued to remain involved with the franchise, both in front of and behind the camera. When asked about the possibility of reprising her role as Kensi, Ruah shared that she would be open to returning if it made sense for the story. \u201cIf I get asked [to play Kensi again], I will certainly figure it out at the time,\u201d she said, acknowledging that if the opportunity presented itself, she\u2019d be ready to jump back into the role she held dear for over a decade. Meanwhile, Lachey\u2019s Jane Tennant has already crossed over into the\u00a0NCIS<\/em>\u00a0mothership three times, making her a familiar face to fans of the larger\u00a0NCIS<\/em>\u00a0universe.\"NCIS:<\/p>\n
