Keep it up. An absolutely fabulous episode last night where Kono and Chin, on their way back to the office, in a race with Danny and Steve, soon find themselves held at gunpoint by two brothers who have killed a police officer.

Even better than above plot, Lou flies to Chicago to prove that his former partner there and pal killed his wife in Hawaii by strangling her.

Lou almost acts as a mad man. How he finally realizes that his partner had stolen 1/4 of a million dollars in cash was quite perceptive to say the least. It appeared that Lou had become obsessive at any cost to prove his friend guilty of the heinous crime.

Jumped the shark,

Lou absolutely loses his mind in this episode...he kidnaps, ties up, tortures his ex-friend who Lou believes killed his wife. He then proceeds to tear apart this guy's house looking for money that he stole many years ago. Then, the guys new wife shows up and Lou ties her up too. Lou takes a sledge hammer to the house looking for the money, then he notices a picture that was taken a long time ago of him and his friend and an old beat up car his friend was trying to restore...Lou realizes that the car looks the same now as it did back then, so he takes the sledge hammer to the car and finds the money that will ultimately put his friend in jail for a long time, but NOT for killing his wife, though. But here's the problem, Lou committed a bunch of criminal acts throughout this episode, kidnapping, torture, breaking and entering, destruction of property, oh, and another kidnapping charge...but, the next week, Lou is back in Hawaii, and no discussion of his behavior, and, most importantly, NO consequences.

Worst episode ever
fmbr-17 November 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Okay, let's say that we have the top three most wanted criminals in a building. I jump in and in the process of apprehending them all, I shoot and kill a 10 year old. Should I be forgiven this crime because I caught other criminals? This is the sort of thing we get with this episode of Hawaii Five-O. Lou assaults a police officer, kidnaps him, threatens him repeatedly, destroys his property (by taking a sledgehammer to it) and then kidnaps this cop's girlfriend as well. Then, because this cop stole money years ago, it appears that there are no repercussions to this. At very least, the girlfriend should be able to press charges against him! Now some may think that this is a small thing, but shows like this give people ideas that if they are right, then they too can get away with doing things like this. Were I the cop coming to arrest the thieving police officer, I'd be putting Lou in cuffs at the same time. You don't break laws to enforce laws. I did give this 2 stars though because the other story wasn't terrible.

So I don't really watch this show and after this..

Warning: Spoilers
So Chin and Kono are the most incompetent cops. They drive up to an isolated place, hear shoveling. My wife immediately say "Dead Body" they say shoveling. Go to investigate without a gun and walk up in full sight not even sneaking up and caught. Later Chin is helping carry a dead body with the bad guys has his arms locked under the armpits of the dead guy. Chin has the perfect opportunity to attack the guy by dropping the legs and lunging forward tackling him. Instead shoves the body forward dropping the legs and takes of running and later picks up a stick to attack from over 20feet away vs attacking when he was 2feet away. Lou story also dumb.

Boring

This episode breaks the world record on being boring. Who would ever what to watch a person continue to hit a wall with a sledge hammer and talk small talk. It was insanity. At least, it had a good second story going on.
