WTF was that?

Warning: Spoilers
Oh wow. What a mess. The thing about a lot of episodes of this series, and this one here in particular, is that there's a whole lot of setup, but NO come back. They set up this huge big story or action scene ... and then ... nothing. So there flying over to Columbia, and have to fight off air defenses. Their goal: Take over a abandoned refinery and take control of a HUGE stash of cocaine. OK. Next thing, they're back in HawaI'i and talk with the bad guy: "Oh, BTW, FYI, we burned your cocaine, but we found this". Wouldn't it be nice to SHOW us how the did it? But no, ALL the story lines crammed into this episode just end with some (not very witty) one-liner. And there's much of story; the two story lines (Dann-O and Chin Ho) just scream to be told separately, in two episodes, as a two-parter, but Dann-O's story could have been stretched over two or three episodes alone without being boring and filled with action.
