When a tourist is unknowingly duped into smuggling stolen art into Hawaii and then shot in his hotel room Five-0 accepts the help of an art retrieval expert (Rebecca Mader) to find the person (Henri Lubatti) responsible.

First she’s used as bait to trap an art smuggler (White Collar‘s Willie Garson) into leading Five-0 to their attempted murderer and then she along with Chin (Daniel Dae Kim) goes undercover at an underground art auction selling stolen art to select connoisseurs.
