Hawaii Five-0 is back for its sixth season on Friday nights. From CBS.com,
The sixth season of Hawaii Five-O premieres with “Do Not Disturb the Water that is Tranquil,” as a murder leads the Five-0 team to investigate a centuries old pirate story involving buried treasure and a killer who is using the back of a stolen painting as a map.
The episode opens with pirates invading Honolulu in the 1880s, interrupting a state dinner hosted by King Kalakaua. Coming back to the present, Hawaii Five O jumps into Kono's wedding reception with her "cousin" Tia Carrere singing a Hawaiian ballad.
Born and raised in Honolulu, Tia Carrere is a Grammy award-winning musical artist of Hawaiian music.

They soon learn the archaeologist was searching for the pirate's booty from 'Iolani Palace.

1. The bromance. Steve and Danno are back in action, squabbling as they drive across the island to each crime scene. Yet Danno breaks into a huge smile when Steve announces his plans to ask Catherine to marry him. Even the cynic in Danno can't help but be happy for his SEAL pal.
2. The cast. They play off each other. When the team discovers the murderer is a descendant of one of the pirates,
