From CBS press release:
“Huikau nā makau a nā lawai'a” – Five-0 helps PI Harry Brown (guest star William Forsythe) work the case of a kidnapped wealthy woman whose husband may have something to hide. Also, Rachel tells Danny that she is getting a divorce from Stan, on Friday, March 31.
===
So does this mean that Danno is going to remarry his ex-wife and live happily ever after, preferably somewhere other than in Hawaii?

I just noticed this comment on another WWW site:

At the end of this episode, we actually got a real, honest-to-goodness, promo for next week’s installment. It’s been forever since we had a real promo and this one did not disappoint. It looks like Five-0 will be in some deep trouble with the return of Michelle Shioma and her gang of Yakuza henchmen. It promises to be one hell of an episode. I can’t wait until next week even if it does bring us even closer to the end of the season.
by Mr. Mike » Sun Apr 02, 2017 11:22 amThis show just pissed me off in several ways, especially the business in the teaser with Fallon, the kidnapper, described on another WWW site as a "dumbass." I think the only dumbasses were the writers, even though it is stated in one of the special features on a Five-Zero DVD set (I think the third season), “it all comes down to Lenkov” to sign off on the show after everyone else has put it together.
I thought when I saw the guy in the teaser, because it is the teaser, that something bad was going to happen, and it did when the trunk was opened. But typically a teaser would lead into something happening right now which is usually pursued by Five-Zero when McGarrett answers his phone for the first time in a show as he is talking to Kamekona about the price of shrimp or something else “cute.”
It is also possible for something in a teaser to happen later in the show (like a “preview” of what is to come). This is what happened in the last seasons of the original Five-O (just like in the original, the early seasons had the previous example of being part of the plot which is happening RIGHT NOW).
So we had an example of #2 in Friday’s show … except what we saw was NOT shown later.
We see the kidnappers grab Natasha the girl friend, and then soon after this, we see one of them take her downstairs in the basement of their house and tie her up with Celine, the wife.
The business at the supermarket happened between the two things, because that's when the kidnapper(s) sent Stratham a picture of his wife, assuming the show takes place in real time and not some alternate universe time.
Except there are a few things wrong … like at the supermarket, we only see the kidnapper Fallon, not his accomplice Hanson (Celine’s boyfriend and co-conspirator). Hanson is not sitting in the car, as far as I can determine. So what happened here? Did Fallon drop Hanson off at home, then went to the supermarket to stock up on beer, chocolate bars and so forth with Natasha still in the trunk? Whenever the picture was taken of Natasha, she had the bag off of her head, which would mean that whoever took the picture (and this would have been AFTER the supermarket expedition) probably had his mask on. I guess you can say at this point Fallon really was a total moron (assuming he took the picture), because he captured the supermarket bag with its identifying logo on it plus the case of beer both of which were used to help identify him.
Yes, maybe I am being too picky, but usually stuff like this is explained in the show, even if you have to go back and watch it again. The alternate is to venture into the world of fan fiction when some plot detail doesn’t make sense and you have to “make something up” to explain what happened. Seriously — the only reason this screwed-up-timewise-and-other-ways sequence was inserted in the show was so that Chin Ho could take the picture that Stratham received and use it to determine who Fallon was and where he lived! This is not the first time something like this was put in a show to make the plot go a certain way, whereas at other times the Supercomputer is suddenly powerless to help Five-Zero.
I also thought the whole business at the end of the show pursuing the kidnappers was ridiculous, because the baddies had specifically said “no cops.” Not only does half of HPD show up at the building where the kidnappers have Natasha held hostage, but McGarrett and Kono are pursuing them to the building and then flying around outside in a police helicopter which reminded me of the movie “Blue Thunder.” Some of the action around this time wasn’t bad, but I thought Danno going down the laundry chute was dumb. I don’t think most of these chutes are at an angle, but they go STRAIGHT DOWN and are usually not so wide in size that they can accommodate a person. And what assurance would there be that there is a nice pile of laundry at the bottom (sort of like when a stunt man falls into a pile of boxes or sponge material). What if there was an empty laundry cart down there or just a concrete floor?
