On NCIS: Hawaii Season 2 Episode 4, a woman is running through the jungle, lost and scared. She trips and falls and sees someone wearing an animal mask standing over her. She screams. Jane tells Alex that she was sitting on his girlfriend Cassandra, preferably tonight. Jane is insistent, and Alex is nervous.

Jesse and Jane arrive on the scene to meet Commander Chase, who has identified Ella Baird, a woman who Jane believes has washed down from the sacred human/animal temple site. Ava Nakama informs them that the site is kapu, which means off-limits. A sacred place is a sacred place.

Ernie finds that Ella posted a picture on the other side of the island the day she was murdered. Jane, Kai, and Jesse are searching the temple site, and Kai finds more bodies! When Jesse finds a hat on a victim, the team knows for sure that these are all recent murders.

Dumping Grounds

Ava is disturbed that someone would desecrate a sacred temple site. Commander Chase tells the team that the bodies have been dumped within the past five years. Based on the timing of their death, the frequency of killings is increasing. The team calls CGIS Neil Pike, who is practically an expert on serial killers.

After the team meeting, Jane says she has to go because she is making dinner for Alex and his girlfriend, Cassandra. Jane rushes home to start cooking dinner and walks in to find Cassandra halfway done with supper. Cassandra pours Jane a glass of wine, and when she goes to clink with her, Alex informs his mother that Cassandra is 21.

Commander Chase tells Lucy that all the victims died of a heart attack. Her honest opinion is that they all died of fright. Lucy and Kate inform Jane of the five possible other victims that they found among the missing people on the island.

Adrenaline Rush

Commander Chase identifies one of the victims as Joseph Hoffman, who was in the Army. She tells Jane that he is drugged with adrenaline. Lucy finds a connection between all the missing people, Bryce Stone, a park ranger. Ernie tracks him to the island. While Neil is looking for clues around the temple site, Bryce sneaks up behind him and jabs a needle in his neck.

The team tracks Neil, and Neil, drugged with adrenaline, is running from Bryce. Neil realizes that Bryce just wants him to run and be scared until he has a heart attack and dies. Neil hides, jumps out and attacks Bryce. Bryce throws Neil off him just as Jesse and Kai come around the corner and shoot Bryce down. Jane and Alex have a heart-to-heart, telling him that as long as Cassandra makes him happy, she approves. Within minutes Cassandra is already at the door, and Jane realizes that Cassandra will be around for a while.
