After a bit of direction issues they arrived at the secret location and once again Cath and Steve were blind folded. Grace steered Cath in the opposite direction to Steve. The secret location and surprise was actually a Christmas/ New Year's party at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. This was to celebrate Steve and Cath's first Christmas as Mr and Mrs McGarrett and Sarah and Michael's first Christmas. When they arrived everyone jumped out and yelled "surprise!" To say Steve, Cath and the twins were surprised was an understatement, they were over whelmed. Everyone had fun, music was blaring, and everyone was dancing, eating and drinking. Steve caught up with everyone – Joe, Mary, Lori, Chin, Kono, Adam, Grover and his family, Deb, Joan, Amber, Max, Jerry, Gov. Denning and Fong – as another surprise Kensi, Deeks and Liam came as well as the other member of OSP – Callen, Joelle, Sam and his family, Nell, Eric and Hetty – and the NCIS team in Washington – Ziva, Tony, Char, Gibbs, McGee, Abby, Ducky, Palmer, Breena and Jenny. When Gibbs and Jenny were on a mission in Tokyo they met Amanda Clarke and Aiden Mathis, Gibbs invited them considering how hard their childhoods was and how Ziva's was, and Gibbs thought they would get along and he was right everyone did. Aiden and Amanda are also engaged.

At the two minutes till midnight mark, Final Countdown by Europe started playing and everyone was singing along but stopped when Steve got everyone's attention and started the ten second countdown of the new year, as soon as it was midnight fireworks went off and Steve dipped and kissed Cath, Danny and Amber, Adam and Kono, Grover and Renee, Deeks and Kensi, Sam and Quinn, Callen and Joelle, Eric and Nell, Tony and Ziva, Gibbs and Jenny, McGee and Abby, Palmer and Breena and lastly Aiden and Amanda all followed in suit. Everyone was cheering and kept celebrating. After much negotiation and a call from Sec Nav everyone was allowed to stay and was given their own room to sleep off their hangover and they were too drunk to drive. After lots of sleep, coffee and cold showers everyone was partially awake. They set up a routine for coffee runs. At about lunch time everyone went down to the restaurant and got food then went to the pool. For Christmas all of the kids got new swimmers. Sarah and Char got new bikinis; Sarah's had hibiscus flowers and Char's had stars and a Star of David. Michael and Liam both got tiny swimming boardies; Mike's were camo printed and had US Navy SEAL written on one of the legs and Liam's had pizza and movie cameras on it. Everyone but Gibbs, Ducky, Joe, Grover, Deb, Denning and Renee went to the pool and those that sat out went to the bar and restaurant while they others had fun in the pool and on the slides.

By 8:00 p.m. everyone but the children were in Steve and Cath's suit to watch Christmas movies, New Year movies and Christmas specials on TV, Everyone was eating popcorn and drinking they all enjoyed it. Once all the movies and specials were finished everyone went back to their rooms. Their rooms were on the 21st floor.

Tonight is their last night in Hawaii. Everyone will go back to Washington, Los Angeles and the Hampton's to start a new year and a fresh start. In the morning everyone met in the lobby and went out to Rainbow Drive In and had fast food then they had one last swim at the beach while the lovely maids at the Hilton made up their rooms and were tipped very generously thanks to Gov. Denning, Sec Nav and Granger who all chipped in. After numerous hours of sleeping, crying children, special activities, movies and songs everyone was back home safe.
