“Forever your sweet Jane… This was the same place I filmed Episode 1,” Lachey, 43, began a lengthy Instagram post on Wednesday, May 1, which featured a video of She sat by the sea wiping the tears from her face. “I was sitting here at 2 a.m [in] June 2021 and stared into the sea. I asked them to protect me, my family, my crew and our show. I told her we will do everything we can to protect the grace and integrity of Hawaii while sharing its beauty with the world.”
Lachey noted that after the CBS series’ cancellation, she again turned to her character Jane Tennant for advice. “[I asked] What do we do now… (please protect us all) She replied with ease,” the actress wrote.
She continued, “Just as the air hits the water and the water hits the land, the waves hit the shore, some with tremendous force, and then… out they go again.” You see… we are not meant to be to stay here forever, we’re on borrowed time. We value what has been given to us for our use, we nurture it, and then leave it better for the next dreamer.”

I will travel to the ends of the earth for my cast and crew! If you come across ANY of them, hire them! You will not be disappointed. Salt of the earth, people!”
Instead of saying goodbye, Lachey said “A Hui Hou,” which means “until we meet again.” She concluded: “To all of you and especially to the beloved fans… A Hui Hou. ❤️ Much love, your sweet Jane.”
