He explained, "He's going to look back and say, 'What's my legacy here? I almost died, and what do I have? I've lost my father, I've lost my mother, I've lost the woman that I've loved.' He just starts to reflect on everything, the choices that he's made and looks for a reason to continue doing what he's doing."
Lenkov stated that McGarrett's reflection will be played out in the upcoming season, which will show the character questioning his morality. Meanwhile, the event will also play a big part in Danny's storyline. He said that though he was ready to shoot the guy who shot McGarrett, Danny principles played an important role in his decision not to.
"Somebody hurt his family, somebody hurt somebody that's very close to him, so it took every ounce of restraint to not shoot him. If Danny didn't have a family, he would have just put a bullet through that guy's eyes. He's been humanized by the fact that he has this son and a daughter and an ex-wife," McGarett explained, adding that adulthood and fatherhood changed him.
"Hawaii Five-0" season 7 will air this fall on CBS.
