Hawaii Five-0 - Ka 'oia'i'o ma loko


When the investigation into a double robbery-homicide that left an infant girl without parents leads to the discovery of a secret society, Chin Ho (Daniel Dae Kim) introduces McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin) and Danny (Scott Caan) to a conspiracy theorist (Jorge Garcia) who specializes in both the arcane and ridiculous. Jerry informs the group that only item stolen from the victims' home might actually be the key to unlocking a 700 year-old priceless treasure Chin Ho's friend believes may have been smuggled to the island years ago inside a statue of King Kamehameha. Despite Danny's skepticism, the longer Five-0 investigates the more Jerry is proven correct.

With Catherine's (Michelle Borth) help Five-0 decodes a complex code that confirms the location of the the treasure and leads the team to the robbers hideout. However, they only find one of the murderers as the other two are still actively searching for the missing key they were unable to find in the victims' home. After catching the bad guys, McGarett offers Jerry the honors of recovering the lost treasure and closing the case. Without Jerry's unique knowledge it's unlikely the team would have been able to solve the case in time. Hopefully we haven't seen the last of him.

The episode's B-story centers around Catherine's final day with the Navy before beginning her new job working for her ex-boyfriend's (Justin Bruening) security firm. McGarrett calls on the help of Max (Masi Oka) but runs into a little trouble coming up with covering for the $1,300 cost of the perfect gift. As the episode comes to a close McGarrett finally begins suspecting that Danny's consistent warnings about allowing his girl to work for her ex may indeed cause trouble down the line.
