Casting
Despite being credited in the opening title sequence Taylor Wily and Dennis Chun did not appear in the episode with Lenkov revealing the reason for their absence being time constraints.[11] On February 14, 2020 it was announced that Lance Gross would appear as Lincoln Cole.[12] On February 28, 2020 it was announced that James Marsters, William Sadler, and Mark Dacascos would return as Victor Hesse, John McGarrett, and Wo Fat, respectively.[13] Will Yun Lee, who recurred in the series as Sang Min, revealed that due to his tight schedule he was not able to appear in the finale despite the heavy attempt.[14] When asked about bringing back former main cast members Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park Lenkov stated that "If I would have brought those characters back, I feel like they needed more time on-screen. I couldn't just put them in for a moment at the end. They deserved more."[11] Former main cast member Michelle Borth returned in the episodes final moments as Catherine Rollins; however, her appearance was not mentioned in any press releases put out prior to the episodes airing.[15]
Filming
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight Canada, Lenkov revealed that the scene where most of the characters said goodbye to Steve was mostly ad-libbed. He also said that the scene was shot two hours after he told the cast and crew that the series was going to end.[16]
Post-production
In an interview with TVLine after the episode aired Lenkov revealed that twelve minutes of the episode had been cut in post-production due to time constraints.[11]
Release
The episode was originally set to be part of a two-hour series finale, however due to the cancellation of the 2020 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament, the first part was moved up a week, and this episode aired an hour earlier on April 3, 2020, keeping its regular timeslot.[17]

In the United States, the episode was watched live by 9.59 million viewers,
Critical response
Dale McGarrigle with TV Fanatic, said "Despite the lateness of the cancellation, the finale still felt organic, not hastily rearranged to fit the new finality. Would a longer episode, so that Jerry, Kamekona, and Duke could have made finale appearances, been worthwhile? Probably not. This finale did what needed to be done inside a tight 43 minutes, no easy feat. Most importantly, it brought McGarrett full circle, from Wo Fat's scheme bringing him back to Hawaii to Wo Fat's widow being the last perp he takes down before leaving the islands, after solving the mystery of Doris." He also gave the episode a perfect 5 out of 5 stars.[20]
Part 1
The first part of the two-part finale, titled "A ʻohe ia e loaʻa aku, he ulua kapapa no ka moana", aired on March 27, 2020.
