A good episode! I think it goes without saying that I LOVED everything related to the mud challenge! From the initial scenes to the beautiful montage in the end!! A true ohana!! Selfishly I did want to see more of them in the challenge, specially to see how Danny did injure himself (again). It was so beautiful to see Steve and Chin carrying him through till the end, and that part where they were all helping each other climb the wall was also adorable! Again I gotta say kudos to the writers, in this episode they did continuity with Danny mentioning that he just got out of the hospital for donating bone marrow and him mentioning his injure (I assume it's the one from back in season 1), Kono mentioning that Adam still isn't in the clear As for the COTW it was okay... Loved all the motorcycles stunts, they were rad!!! And even though I had already guessed the second family thing, and that someone of the family was involved before the revelation, it was well done. Specially the wife/mother who had just lost her husband, found out she had been cheated and her daughter was a killer, she really passed emotion to me. As for the call... IDK, I don't think it's Doris because in 20 years away, she had never tried to reach for Steve, so it's not like she would be missing hearing his voice... Odds are it was Catherine, but then that's not good, the woman left, broke his heart, he was clear about not waiting for her, she keeps secret, and now acts like a teenager with phone calls and hanging up!?!? Doesn't sound like something she would do. Feels more like shippers bait done by TPTB
