Looking at the cast list and holy shit.. I was just joking about my prediction of Kono's storyline in the last thread.

Decent episode, although Danny and his wise cracks were missed, and too much time was devoted to the memorial service of a character we barely knew.

That had to be one of their lames cases/villain ever.

Surprised they killed off the potential romantic rival so fast.

And please, just get rid of Kono.

I kinda bought what the promos were selling, and thought they might, -might be killing off Catherine; I was surprised at how little drama there was in her actual shooting. It seems like the whole "old boyfriend" angle was strictly to get her out of the Navy, which had become an inconvenience.

Which is hilarious since McG is still a Navy LCDR somehow. I can only assume a reservist (which is what they could have done with Catherine).

And with ex-boyfriend out of the way, into H50 in some capacity.

I love how Catherine got shot, but she can use her arm, and there is no pain no stiffness.

It was an interesting turn of events that lead to a bullshit conclusion. Am I to really believe the hooker's office mate produced an MP5 and handled himself in such a manner to elude Catherine and Billy? Maybe he was playing a lot of CoD.

Getting tired of these manufactured story lines that have basic shitty conclusions of a jilted lover or whatnot. The espionage thing especially, since it looked like government weaponry, would have been interesting for 5-0 to handle.

He wasn't the hitman. He hired one.


However, I agree, the ending was lame. I was hoping that the coworker was also a spy, which could have led to a bigger conspiracy. But nope, just a lame love triangle.
