Ep 6. The Ninth Step

In Hawaii 5-0 season 10 episode 6, titled "The Ninth Step," the team is called in to investigate when a man is found dead outside of his AA meeting. The victim, Liam Pratt, was a recovering addict who had just celebrated his one-year anniversary of sobriety. As the team digs into Liam's life, they discover that he had started dating a woman named Nicole, who was also in recovery.

As the investigation progresses, it becomes clear that Nicole was not the woman she appeared to be. Her real name is Dana and she is a member of a group called The Ninth Step, which exists to help former addicts get their revenge on the people who caused them harm during their addiction. It turns out that Liam was one of these people, having sold Dana's sister the drugs that ultimately killed her.

Dana confesses to the murder of Liam, but she is not the only one who is guilty. Liam's best friend, Sean, knew about Liam's past with Dana's sister and had been trying to protect him from getting hurt. However, Sean's actions end up pushing Liam away and ultimately result in his death.

Meanwhile, Adam is struggling with his own addiction issues and turns to his sister, Kono, for help. Kono urges Adam to seek out professional help and offers to fund his treatment. Adam ultimately decides to take her up on the offer and begins his journey towards recovery.

As the episode comes to a close, the team reflects on the sometimes difficult but ultimately rewarding work they do in helping people. They also acknowledge the importance of reaching out for help when dealing with their own personal struggles.

Overall, "The Ninth Step" is a gripping episode that tackles the topic of addiction and recovery in a realistic and heartfelt way. The twists and turns keep viewers on the edge of their seats, while the overarching message of hope and redemption shines through.
