Summary: Kono is hit hard when her mentor, surfing icon Ian Adams, is shot during an exhibition run during the opening of a surfing competition. Ian ran a major surf-wear company and was a legend on the island; his lifelong friend Max Bass, was the competition's primary sponsor. While Kono reconnects with her old friend from the team, Ben Bass (Max's son), McGarrett, Chin Ho and Danny investigate Ian's murder. Unfortunately for Kono, it looks like Ben Bass is their number one suspect. Though Ian was a lifelong friend of Ben’s family and a personal mentor, in recent years, Ben became estranged from both his father and Ian because of their choice to pursue financial gain over the needs of the island. Ben being a preservationist, a value he learned from Ian, he was disappointed when Ian no longer seemed to hold those values. By investigating the victim's financials, Chin Ho discovers he had named Ben his beneficiary, giving him even more motive. McGarrett and Danny pursue the physical leads of the crime, talking to the leader of the Kapu, the spiritual protector and quasi-gang leader of the island. Two former Kapu members are guilty of attacking Ian, but they point our team in the direction of the real killer. It turns out Ben Bass was Ian's biological son. Max Bass and Ian were fighting over that, as well as control over island development. Max had his chauffeur kill Ian, not knowing Ian left Ben the resources to protect the island. Discuss The Episode...

An episode when we get to learn more about Kono's past. I love these episodes. I like learning about the people they were before they were all brought together. It's just a shame we had to learn it at the expense of her mentor. And a love interest was nice to see for her too, but once she accused him of being the killer, that kind of went out of the window.
I love Island time, but I'm not sure Danny understands it. Bless him. lol. Also, the way McGarrett goes about getting the Kapu members that they suspect is responsible for Ian's killing is hard for his partner to understand too. The dynamic between the two is a great thing to watch.
