Storyline
McGarrett is awakened at 3:00 A.M. by a phone call from a past girlfriend, who hangs up before he is fully awake. The girlfriend then goes back to her husband's beach house and finds him dead from multiple blows to the head. Pieces of evidence around the crime scene implicate the woman, and eventually McGarrett is forced to arrest her (amid numerous flashbacks to their romance when McGarrett was a Navy lieutenant -- there are scenes filmed at the U.S.S. Arizona memorial where the woman's brother drowned on December 7, 1941). But not only does McGarrett have to fight his own emotional involvement, he has to check out at least three other possible suspects in the killing: the husband's law partner, his daughter from a previous marriage and the daughter's hot-shot attorney fiancé' who knows a great deal about crime scenes.

Plot Summary

Plot Synopsis
The show's opening scene started with Steve McGarrett waking up at 3 a.m. Steve McGarrett received a telephone call from a close friend by the name of Cathy Wallis. McGarrett had no idea she would be considered a possible suspect in a murder. McGarrett became a bit too caught up with a case that dealt with more than just coincidence. He dealt with a hot dog lawyer by the name of Stephen Dixon. McGarrett did not implicate him as the prime suspect in the murder -- only because he maintained an alibi in San Francisco from the previous night. Henry Borden's character had been involved with his ties to Arthur Dixon in an indirect role -- solely as a lawyer. Steve McGarrett could not prove whom actually murdered the unknown individual in question. It's was too bad Five-O had let a killer go free at the end of the episode. An 8.6 Rating!!
