Jerry probably would love to come over and dive into the mystery of the missing fern, and it's a good move on Steve's part: gets her out of here without asking too many questions, and gives Jerry something to do with that free time he seems to have in spades.
"Oh, yeah," he says, when she looks at him, stern, pushing himself up off the couch back and lifting his hands in capitulation. "You bet. And, uh, thanks. I can't wait to try some."
He might, even. Stake-outs can get kind of hungry, and they'll probably be here all night, maybe into tomorrow.
Just another reason not to rock the boat.
Even if he's kind of wishing he'd just told her the truth, or let Steve, because he's not sure letting her know they're Five-0 would open up the can of worms he's pretty sure are now wriggling around the room. They shouldn't be, right? It's just a cover. It would be better if their surveillance equipment wasn't in the living room, but it is what it is. They didn't talk about what they would do if someone knocked on the door, aside from the nephew story, and they should have. That's on them.
Still, it's not great, and he knows it wasn't great, can feel Steve seething from here, and that's...

Not great.
(But at least there are baked goods.)
