In Hawaii, the wedding of Jim and Lois's son Paul and his new wife, Kiana, ends. Jim and Lois have been divorced for four years, but they decide to spend some time together and go to Halawa Valley like Paul has suggested. Lois gets a bad feeling about this trip to the valley to see the falls, but Jim remains positive. As he reads about the trail, Lois has flashbacks about the unfortunate events that their family members have endured. Despite Lois’s doubts, the two drive their way to the valley. When they get there, they find a sign saying “Road Closed.” In confusion, they see a passing Jeep and ask a Hawaiian man if the trail is private property. The man tells them no and to ask the owners of local cottages for further information. Lois and Jim go back to their house for the night and eat papayas the next morning. Jim convinces Lois to take another chance at the falls. However, they are chased by some Dobermans of a nearby cottage and turn back around in fear. Back at their cottage, Jim goes through the paper and reads that there was a town meeting about closing the road, and the couple assumes that the residents are trying to keep “white people" out of their property. They see the Hawaiian man from the day before and tell him about their failure to see the falls due to the Doberman incident. He says he will try to call the owners and give them another shot at seeing the valley if they wish to go again. Lois says they are leaving the next day and she and Jim part ways peacefully.
