This episode was needed as it need to Tie up the loose end with his mother. The action is the winner here was very well shot and the action was better than most episodes. It gave me black hawk down chills at the end though playing the music from the end of the film in the best way it could made hairs stand up on end. And just loved how danny was there for him in the end and that good old danno and mcgarret love we fans all love to lighten the mood.

Good to have good Seal Team buds! Was the beard real?

The storyline with Doris, Steve's mother, really needed to be tidied up and it's great that it was Steve's portrayer, Alex O'Loughlin, who wrote and directed the episode. Writing this after knowing the series ended after this season, and knowing HOW it ended, it's especially moving. Steve lost a lot of family during his 10 years back in Hawaii beginning with his father and ending with his mother. He's also recently lost his Aunt Deb and his surrogate father, Joe White. He only has his sister and her adopted daughter, Joanie. Poor Steve had to grieve his mother's death twice: once as a young boy and once as an adult. Danny has become a surrogate brother to him, just as Steve became Danny's surrogate brother after his own brother's murder.

This show has been great since day one and should have gotten more critical attention for its acting, especially Alex's acting. He does comedy and drama with ease. I'm already missing my Five-0 Friday dates with Steve and Danno. Thanks for 10 years of exceptional television. Mahalo.

Some people are so self conscious that it is not right for the actors and all the people that are working for this series.if you don't like it don't watch it.

One of the best episode ever.Kudos to Alex o Loughlin writer producer director.He deserves it.

This was a much needed episode to tie up the loose ends regarding McGarrett´s relationship with his mother. This episode was highly emotional with the perfect balance of great story, good action and emotions. This combined with good directing by the main actor Alex O'Loughlin who did a great job made that episode truely remarkable. One of the best episodes of Hawaii 5 O.

Why do other countries always have the dark, bleak color? And US always have bright, blue color.

Like they try to say other countries are terrible, pathetic.

Full disclosure, I've never liked the character of Doris McGarrett. A lot of information about her has just never made a lot of sense to me. This episode finally clears up most of the questions you will have had about her as a long time viewer. Personally, I came out of this episode liking her less than I did before. She spent so many years away from her family working for the CIA and when she "comes back from the dead", she then went away over and over again instead of staying in Hawaii and having a relationship with the children she had to abandon while working for "The Company". It's no wonder at all that Steve was always trying to make a family, first with the Navy and then with Five-0.

Half the dialogue in this episode is made up of exposition.

McGarrett: Exposition, exposition, exposition but exposition. Junior: But why? McGarrett: Exposition, Junior. All right? Junior: So, you're saying exposition, exposition, exposition? McGarrett: No, I just told you! Exposition, exposition, exposition but exposition. Danny Uh... Exposition?

You get it. Take some script writing classes, guys.

This programme staggers from one ridiculous scenario to another, each series worse than the one before & taking in every cliche on the way but it has reached new heights of ludicrousness with Danny's haircut. WTAF?

Another episode in a foreign country, yawn. Turned it off after 10 minutes. This show is meant to be based in Hawaii..

This episode sucked. Seems like some scenes had been deleted and others shot or re-shot at the end. So was his mom a crook (bank accounts) or not (she put the bugs in the car)?

Also a "weapons cache" is pronounced "weapons cash" not freaking "cashay" !! (Cachet, pronounced cashay, means something completely different!). This error was repeated 3 times which suggests that Alex o loughlin may have skipped out on a few English classes, which you might think could have been useful for a script writer... Sheesh.
