Why did the entire island smell a bit like chocolate pudding? It was probably nothing, right?

"Welcome to our final team-building exercise today!" Anakin yelled through his megaphone. "It's based on a series of obstacle courses called a Tough Mudder, but mud is too easy!"

...that would explain the pudding smell.

"Working in teams of seven, you will race around the island, conquering each obstacle! McGarrett, stop looking so excited about this. Listen for your names! NO POWERS."

Re: Obstacle Two: Hero Carry

His first partner for this one appreciated it as well, and Amaya had no modesty about her own strength here, so you'd better believe she was going to be far more comfortable offering her own back over getting onto Will's.

"Hop on," she offered, with a hitch of her thumb, "I'm sure I've hauled heavier than you most days."

“Fine with me,” Will said, doing just that.

And Amaya, knowing full well that these were the obstacles where it was going to be particularly important to one-up Diaz (and she felt she already was, by being the piggy being backed in this case; clearly, Diaz was taking the easy way out by being the back! Ha! Take that, Diaz!), took to the race with determination, eyes on the prize, and, just as she claimed, barely even noticing the weight of Will because strength as a blacksmith wasn't a perk, it was a necessity.
