Yasmine Al-Bustami’s Lucy Tara finally returned to “NCIS: Hawai’i” in Season 2, Episode 13’s “Misplaced Targets” after being noticeably MIA from the CBS series during five-straight mid-season episodes. But the actress who portrays the special agent believes that her time away from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service on an assignment afloat made Lucy’s character interesting.
“Doing that on her own and then coming back and being able to contribute to the group in a different way, because she’s had that experience now, I think that brings a little more flavor,” Al-Bustami said in an interview with TVLine. Al-Bustami also revealed that she devoted some of the time spent away from the CBS production to working on “The Chosen,” which is currently in its 3rd season. “And it’s a good flavor,” Al-Bustami continued.
The actor was also pleased with not only the opportunity she had to press pause on “NCIS: Hawai’i,” but Al-Bustami was delighted with the character development it allowed Lucy to reap. “You’re out by yourself, without the team members supporting you, and I’m just really happy that the writers gave me that,” Al-Bustami explained in the same interview. “For Lucy to explore her own case, put things together by herself, and not really have the folks that she normally relies on.”
