(Steve and Danny look at each other. Steve with a "What?" face. And Danny with a "Seriously?!" face)
Therapist: Detective Williams asked you a question.
Steve McGarrett: (confused) When?
Therapist: He asked if you were going to allow him to finish his thought.
(Steve gets a "Wait.. What?!" face going)
Steve McGarrett: (befuddled) I'm.. I'm... (suspiciously) Whose side are you on?
Therapist: I don't take sides, Commander. I'm an objective observer.
(Both Danny and Steve fidget uncomfortably and display more defensive body postures)
Therapist: As you know, the governor asked me to oversee the annual psychological audit of personnel, and I was concerned by what Detective Williams had to say.
Danny Williams: Thank you.
Steve McGarrett: Okay. Yeah, fine. So, we, uh, we don't we don't agree on a few things, but I don't see why that's such a big deal.
Danny Williams: Um, I'm gonna I'm gonna go ahead and stop. "A few things."?

Steve McGarrett: Four years ago...
(Steve looks at Danny to acknowledge Danny's words from earlier in the session)
Steve McGarrett: Governor Jameson asked me to start a, uh, major crimes task force. And Danno

Steve McGarrett: You're right. Excuse me, Sir Daniel.
Danny Williams: Th-This is going right off the rails Okay, okay.
Steve McGarrett: Come on, come on. I'm teasing, all right? Right after I started the task force, Detective Danny Williams was my first hire.

Steve McGarrett: You got no choice, Detective. Governor gave me jurisdiction on making you my partner. We're gonna get along great.
(end flshback)

Danny Williams: Okay, Jerry, I know I'm gonna regret asking this, but what is it that you are surveilling?
Jerry Ortega: What you two should be keeping an eye on.

Jerry Ortega: Next door over. Vintage books.
Steve McGarrett: What about it?
Jerry Ortega: Two weeks ago, the owner came back from a trip to Dusseldorf, where he purchased the entire inventory of a library that was closing down.
(Steve makes an obviously shocked face - mouth hanging open, big eyes - and looks at Danny)

Jerry Ortega: Not so fast, McGruff.

Steve McGarrett: My leg will heal. Don't get used to it.

(Kings Medical Center - Danny pushing Steve in a wheelchair. Assumed after his discharge)
Lou Grover: You know, you ought to look into whether they got some kind of a loyalty program. Like, they'll give you a card, and every fifth bullet extraction is free.
Dr. Max Bergman: Well, I'm certain such a program doesn't exist, Captain.
Chin Ho Kelly: I believe he was joking, Max.
Dr. Max Bergman: Ah. I can see how that was an attempt at humor.
Lou Grover: Oh, keep it up, wise guy. You might see an attempt at murder.
Kono Kalakaua: Lou, he wasn't being rude. He's.. he's just Max, and you'll learn that.
Danny Williams: You know, that reminds me, Max. It's been killing me all day. What did you tell your new protégé about me?
Dr. Max Bergman: I beg your pardon?
Danny Williams: Well, you said you gave her a heads up. Heads up about what? What did you say?
Dr. Max Bergman: Oh, yes. I just explained to Dr. Shaw that Commander McGarrett is the leader of Five-O, and that you're his deeply cynical, misanthropic, short-tempered partner.
(Steve tries to hold back a smile and is not doing it very well)
Danny Williams: What?
Lou Grover: You know, I think I see what you mean about him.
Dr. Max Bergman: Now, Dr. Shaw agreed with my assessment. However, she did think you were cute.
Steve McGarrett: Hey!
(Steve and Danny fist bump)
Danny Williams: Uh-huh. Well, she got a point, right? I can live with that.

Trivia

• Chi McBride and Jorge Garcia are now added to the opening credits.
• A deleted scene on the Region 2 DVD reveals that Catherine Rollins found the missing Afghan child, Najib Khan.
• It is revealed that 2 years have passed since the events in the Season 2 finale, Ua Hala.
• Steve and Danny's therapy session is a reference to the 2005 action-comedy film, Mr and Mrs Smith, in which the film's titular characters (portrayed by real-life former husband and wife couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie) regularly attends a similar therapy session with their therapist, Dr. Wexler, portrayed by William Fichtner.
  • As well as being a commercial box office success, the film had established the personal relationship between Pitt and Jolie that had started in 2006 and resulted in their marriage lasting from 2014 to 2019.

Break in Continuity

• In the therapy session, when discussing the driving of the Camaro, Steve goes from sitting stiffly with crossed legged to a slouched uncrossed posture and then back to stiff crossed leg posture without any flow between.
• After Steve is shot in the leg by the drone, the drone comes back and fires on Danny and the Camaro again. The driver side door when Danny closes it and when he spins the rear tires to drive away, is shown to have 3 bullet holes. However in the overview shot when the drone is shown firing on the Camaro - the bullet holes in the driver side door are gone.
