[2] Life for citizens on the island of Hawaii takes a turn when a tsunami warning alert is sounded, forcing everyone to evacuate.
The team then heads to the precinct and successfully arrest Hale, knowing that their theft of $10 million to save Chin will be noticed when the money is audited.
[2] The episode put Hawaii Five-0 in the Guinness World Records 2012 for Highest-Rated New Show in the U.S.[3] An editor review by TV Fanatic said "On one hand, "Kaie'e" was very exciting, surprising me by bringing up potential consequences from the money the Five-O had taken in order to save Chin's life.
I was nearly able to get into that head space, but once McGarrett started to suspect that the tsunami wasn't real, it made it difficult to do so.
