Don't Blame Ghosts and Spirits for One's Troubles; a Human is Responsible (He 'oi'o kuhihewa; he kaka ola i 'ike 'ia e ka makaula) is the 5th episode of Season 10 in the remake version of Hawaii Five-0.
Synopsis[]
It's Halloween and Five-0 investigates a home invasion turned deadly after a dangerous "monster" escapes from the basement. Also, Max returns to Oahu with a very special guest.
Plot[]
Halloween in Hawaii has Five-0 working on the murder of elderly Edith Lahela during an attempted robbery gone wrong and the discovery of the body of a disappearance victim, Lana Nakua.
Team Adam discovers that Edith Lahela was a nun for over 20 years and had raised a boy, long seeming her son, actually Kimo, adopted son of Mother Superior Decosta, whom she locked in a tiny cell in her basement to protect him from the outside world because of his gross deformity. With the help of Max Bergman, who visit from Madagascar (Africa) with his adopted pre-teen son Tunde, they get Kimo to stand down with also bringing Decosta to convince him.
Steve and Junior discover that someone stole Lana Nakua's body from the morgue, and later find two of the original suspects in her case, frat boys Todd Hughes and Remy Mitchell, murdered in their homes with Nakua's initials written in blood near them. As third suspect Zach Wyatt has not been found murdered, he probably orchestrated the theft of Lana's body, and is in urgent danger too.
