'Hawaii Five-0' Recap: Steve's Rescue

The truth about Jenna came out in tonight's episode of Hawaii Five-0, and Steve nearly got killed because of it.

 After starting an investigation into the murder of a reporter, Steve was called away by Jenna to help her rescue her fiancé. She told Steve she had proof that he was alive in North Korea and was being ransomed. The CIA would not get involved, so she was going alone and asked Steve for his help, which of course he gave. Unbeknownst to Steve, it was all a set up by Wo Fat.

 While Steve escorted Jenna to North Korea, the rest of the team investigated the reporter's murder. They found out she had been meeting with a source at a hotel in Maui. When they questioned the hotel manager, he showed them a copy of the source's driver's license; it was Jenna. The team didn't know what to do with this information. They were even more confused and nervous when they couldn't get in touch with Steve.

 In Korea, Steve took control of the prisoner exchange in order to keep Jenna safe. But before the exchange took place, he heard someone cock a gun behind his head. It was Jenna. He was then knocked out by someone else. He was able to see who his attacker was before passing out: Wo Fat. When they got to Wo Fat's compound, Steve was taken into a room where he was strung up and tortured for information his father learned during his investigation. But Steve claimed he knew nothing about it. Meanwhile, Jenna was taken to the cell where her fiancé was. She was devastated to learn he was dead. She called Danny from her satellite phone and told him the truth about what was going on. But the guards came to the cell before she could tell them where she was. She threw the phone out the window, hoping Danny would be able to track the signal. She also removed a pin from her fiancé's knee just before the guards grabbed her and brought her to Steve's cell.

 Danny went to Joe and told him what was going on. Joe and the team decided to go to South Korea, sneak into the North, and find Steve and Jenna. They were joined by Wade and his team of SEALS. They all knew it could be a one-way mission, and one they could get into a lot of trouble for if they made it home alive, but no one was going to leave Steve behind. When they got to South Korea, Joe met up with an old military buddy who owed him a favor. The guy, played by guest star Jimmy Buffet, had an old helicopter, and was able to fly them into North Korea. Kono managed to track Steve's location and they headed for him.

Back in his cell, Steve tore into Jenna, who apologized for everything she did. She was desperate to get her fiancé back, and stupidly believed Wo Fat when he came to her offering his help in exchange for Steve. While Wo Fat continued to torture Steve, one of the guards brought the satellite phone to him. They knew it was Jenna's. She tossed Steve the pin she had been carrying just before they shot her twice in the chest. When the guards left, Steve was able to escape. But not for long.

 He was captured again as he was leaving the compound, and thrown into the back of a truck. Wo Fat was determined that Steve knew where a location his father learned about was and was determined to have Steve help him find it. Kono was able to track where they were going and radioed it to Lori, who told the boys where they could find Steve. They had her and the pilot creates a distraction for Wo Fat's trucks so they could intercept his convoy and rescue Steve. Lori got to fire an RPG and take out a bridge, forcing Wo Fat to turn back...right to where the guys were waiting for his convoy. A gunfight broke out and Steve was rescued. But Wo Fat managed to get away. Lori and the pilot picked everyone up, and they headed for home.
