In 'Ma'ema'e' (Clean), the fifth episode of Hawaii Five-0's second season, the team is called in to investigate the murder of a young girl who is found strangled in the bushes near a wilderness hiking trail. As they quickly discover, the victim was a high school student with a troubled history of drug abuse and run-ins with the law. Despite her past, the team is determined to find justice for her and track down the killer.
As they begin their investigation, the team comes up against numerous obstacles. The victim's family is less than cooperative, and her classmates and friends all seem to be hiding something. In addition, the trail where the girl was found is a popular place for drug dealers to do business, and the team must navigate through a complex web of criminal activity to get to the truth.

As the investigation heats up, tensions among the team begin to simmer. Danny and Chin Ho clash over their methods of dealing with the victim's family, while Kono and Steve work together to pursue a lead that takes them to the heart of the drug trade on the island.
Despite the challenges they face, the team perseveres in their efforts to solve the case. With each new lead, they get closer to the truth about what happened to the young girl. Finally, after a climactic confrontation in the wilderness, they are able to bring the killer to justice and bring some measure of closure to the victim's family.
