Summary: McGarrett gets a call from the Governor about Wendell Dawkins, a career criminal who just broke out of prison; he killed three guards and she wants him found ASAP. As the team begins their investigation, Dawkins breaks into a hotel room, shooting Dana, a woman who won a Hawaiian trip on a TV game show, and kidnapping Craig, her husband. McGarrett arrives, just missing Dawkins, but in time to save Dana. The Five-0 team discovers that Craig is using an alias and used to be Dawkins partner in crime on the mainland; Dawkins thought he'd killed Craig but then learned he had moved the money. Dawkins ended up in prison in Hawaii and when he saw his partner on a game show with Dana, he saw his opportunity to get the money back. Five-0 tracks Dawkins to the bank where Craig gets the money; but the convict spots them and shoots his ex-partner when he tries to escape. Dawkins gets away, but McGarrett is fast on his trail through the Waikolu Valley. Meanwhile, Mary Ann - McGarrett's sister - arrives from the mainland. She causes a disturbance on the plane and is released into McGarrett’s custody. Steve recruits Kamekona to babysit Mary. Unfortunately, she outwits him and gets away. McGarrett finds her at their father’s gravesite and they find an uneasy peace with each other. Discuss The Episode...

I've been a fan of Balthazar Getty since I was a teenager, so it was great to see him in this episode - and of course he was the bad guy, because he plays it so well. This is when the writers wrote in Scott's injury, which I'm surprised he could keep filming with. It seems like a pretty demanding action show and torn ACL is a serious injury, but thankfully they didn't have to stop filming while he recovered and could write it into the storyline. I love his line, "This guy is like a physical injury." And poor McGarrett has to handle all the physical stuff. He's not so great at basketball though. LOL. I loved seeing Mary's relationship with her brother and how protective he is. But not allowing her to even use the bathroom is a bit extreme. Then there's the other side of Steve, when he finds his sister at their father's grave - softer. I like that even though he has a hard man exterior that he's got a softer side. I look forward to seeing even more of it in the future.
