Minicap: Hawaii Five-0

Last night on Hawaii Five-0, a reporter is killed, Special K returns, and McG ends up in North Korea.

You know how I’m always complaining about how murder victims can’t just be discovered in a normal fashion, like “oh, weird, there’s a dead guy”? Well, this time there was a normal murder! I know, I know, I’m giving a lot away in the minicap. Basically some reporter calls her boss and says “hey boss I think I’m being followed,” and then it turns out she’s right, and she gets killed. That’s the mystery that gets literally 1 minute of attention after this point.

The real meat and potatoes of the episode begins when Special K shows up and asks McG to help her. It turns out that she’s found her fiance, but he’s in North Korea, and she needs McG’s help to get him back. Apparently there’s a quarter mil ransom, too, but she’s got that part covered. So McG, being McG, decides he’ll help her out, and we already know this won’t go well…

McG and Special K head out to N Korea, and the rest of the gang (aside from Danno) is left in the dark…Jin and Boomer head out to meet up with a contact the dead reporter made a few days prior, but she’s not there…the landlord has copy of her license, though, and it’s Special K! She was supposed to be in DC, but she was holed up in Maui! So they know something is wrong, and they let Danno know, and he tells them all what McG was REALLY up to, and now everyone realizes things are going horribly wrong.

Danno lets Locke know what’s going on, and they decide they’ve got to launch a rescue mission. Seal Team 9, or more specifically the commanding officer and the one guy that McG Superman’d out of the air, decide they owe it to McG to tag along as well. So the rescue mission is launched, and….

Come back for the real thing…I’ll have all the nitty gritty details then!
