Haven't said this in a while, but for me this was an amazing episode, worthy of season 1, the best season ever of H50.
- the little brother was absolutely adorable
- Sophie wasn't the only one missing from the hula lineup - where was Lilo?
- Matty has bee gone HOW long? Did I hear three years?
- What happened to Darryl Hannah, Real Estate Vamp Supreme?
- Poor Jerry - just because he's paranoid doesn't mean they're not after him
- Jerry mystery? Did he sign some confidentiality agreement in his past?
- I hate when a bad guy does something terrible, yet you can't really blame him for it - there's no real closure and no feeling of "good, because he had it coming".... instead I'm just left feeling so sorry for him.
- Dumbo-Ears guy kidnapped Matty? Don't think I'll be feeling sorry for him once Danno gets done with him for kidnapping his brother.

It was a great episode. The vibe was very much like season 1. I will probably have more to say tomorrow after everyone has seen it. Now I'm going to go watch the Royals!

This show was the major improvement from last week's show. Kudos to the writers for the twist and turns this episode provide. This episode is a kidnapping episode a popular crime category. The plot follows that Hollier a grieving father seeking revenge on the Porters for a faulty car seat they produce and rushed it to sell. Hollier was driving with his 2 years old daughter on route 93 (No not the one in Montana or Arizona but the one on Oahu). He was busy making faces at the review mirror to Olivia without paying attention to the road and crashed through the guardrail, easliy breaking it instead of crashing to another car that killed his daughter. Caroline covered up the evidance and payed Hollier up to avoid trial and paid off Pollard who correctly predicated that the seats are faulty and can cause ingury. Interestly the amount was 1.6 million. Hollier had his brother-in-law Wiley to kidnapped the intended target Maggie Porter but instead he grabs a wrong girl Sophie without any problems. Why didn't Sophie scream when Wiley was taking her away? Of course then the episode would have ended early. Wiley stole a card from a substitute teacher and killed him, walked into a school that is open to parents and beat up the security guard before before grabbing Sophie. At first I thought the father planned this to go home early but that was not the case nor was it to compromise the operation he was in. The kidnappers then called the Porters and demand 1.6 million and said no cops but they did so anyway. McGarrett and Danno arrived without downplaying their presence and later Hollier knew they called the cops and had Caroline Porter deliver the money to Manana trail but he was not interested in money instead he wants to kill her. He took her to to same place where the crash was and tried to kill her but was too emotional to do so, Hawaii Five-O and the cops arrived in time and negotiate with him briefly before surrendering peacefully. Sophie was found alive in some house. How heartbreaking. I'm also interested at the story Danno and his brother and the money Matt hid. I like Jerry antics. The episode is worthy to watch.

A nice summation of the episode. I, too, wondered about the father taking her but I thought it might be that he was faking that he was about to go out on a mission so he could take Sophie and not be suspected. He'd have to know that no one would tell them if a SEAL was or was not on a mission so he could get away with it and disappear before anyone broke through all the red tape to find out that he wasn't where he said he was. But it was a nice twist to find that his daughter wasn't even the intended target and 5-0 was investigating the abduction thinking it was related to a SEAL mission but then suddenly find that the wrong girl was taken and their perfect scenario no longer applies. It's possible the guy might have been able to take little Sophie without her screaming because he looked a bit like the substitute teacher whose keycard he stole ... if he looked enough like someone Sophie saw around the school, she might have gone with him willingly if he told her, for example, that her mother needed her. I didn't find it too unusual that she went with him when the cops first thought it was the teacher because he fit the description Maggie gave them of the man she saw.

Two details that you mention were actually a bit different. Jason Hollier wasn't paid off by the Porters. Caroline Porter destroyed evidence that there could have been a defect in the car seat so it was determined that the baby died because Hollier had improperly installed the seat even though he swore he'd done it correctly. Later, when Pollard reads of the death of Hollier's wife, he contacts him and tells him the truth and offers him the 1.6 million he'd been paid to keep quiet about the defect. Hollier wouldn't take it and came up with the scheme to get revenge on the Porters by taking their daughter from them. And the second point is that I think Steve and Danny did downplay their presence; it looked like they came in by a back way and they had to use Kono, pretending to be a delivery person, to deliver the equipment they needed to trace the calls made to the Porters. Hollier eventually knew the cops must be there because he lost contact with his brother-in-law after Steve and Danny shot him. He also knew that he had the wrong girl but the Porters were playing along so he had to have figured someone was telling them what to do.

I actually thought it was a really nice thing for the Porters to play along ... and then to offer the money to help out Angela Larkin ... but then you find another twist that Caroline Porter almost certainly recognized the amount demanded as the amount paid to Pollard to keep quiet about the car seat crash test and she thought if they cooperated, no one would ever find out what she'd done. But then the guy didn't even want the money; he just wanted her because she was behind it all.
