Good episode tonight and it appears that next week's finale will close/change a lot of the subplots. They brought almost all the season's subplots to the front again in this episode.

I thought this was a good episode.

I'm glad they didn't drag out the whole stolen money situation with Chin and now there is closure with it. Interesting that IA was playing Chin the entire time.

The Sarin attack storyline was predictable, but I liked seeing Danny with his daughter and I was a little surprised to see him bond with his Ex. I didn't realize that her marriage was over/close to being over.

I liked bringing back Sang Min as part of this Wo Fat arc. I just hope the writers don't feel pressured to wrap everything up with Wo Fat next week in the Finale and going into the premiere for next season. I like having him as a recurring arch nemesis to Steve. I know H5o is a procedural, but they have done a good job tying some serialized story arcs into the season.

I'm getting a feeling that Agent Jenna Kaye might become a permanent member of the 5-O team in the future. I'd rather it be her than Sean Combs.

Kind of a weird plot involving the Sarin. I thought maybe it would somehow be tied in with Wo Fat, but the interrogation (if you call it that) where Chin and McGarrett pretty much give the secretary a plausible story seemed off.

Good closure for the money and Chin. Took care of that quickly. And you'd think it would be just a bit more difficult to get into Five-0 HQ with anyone just waltzing in.

I still think at some point Danno will say, "Hey Steve, when the hell are you going to get your own car and stop driving mine?!"

Fun episode. Not much to discuss really, it's just a solid popcorn show.

They kind-of addressed it with Diddy. Danno said something like be prepared to surrender his car to McGarrett if he ever joined the team.

Can they not get the budget any bigger or get Chevy to give Steve his own Camaro? Especially after showcasing the dashboard functions of the Cruze last episode?

And wow.. no product placement this episode?! I don't think Kamekona was even wearing his Waiola Shave Ice shirt.

I like her, but I'm afraid she would just cut into Kono's screentime. If she does join, bikini scenes should be a mandatory part of her contract.

I would be OK with that! I've always thought Larisa Oleynik was cute (although I prefer her with longer hair). It's nice to see her again.

The longer hair is an improvement.

It seems like there's a scene each week where a character uses something like that to take out a bad dude in a chase.

Someone should make a video montage. Just off the top of my head, there's the garbage can lid this week, the hibachi coals a couple weeks ago, another beach chase a couple months ago where McGarrett clotheslined a guy. I think there was another one early in the season where Kono had a nice roundhouse takedown around a corner. Oh, and then there was the one where Danno took down that guy on the motorbike during the marathon with some item, a cooler, I think?
