Tis is the last season for 5-O so the story lines have gotten dumber and dumber. Show started strong first season, now stumbling to the end. This episode is a prime example.
Some of it started stupid. The character Kono ( Grace Park )
was supposed to have been a professional surfer. Those are local celebs there and would be useless for police undercover work as she would be easily recognized. But she did some episodes with that theme.
The new 5-0 couldn’t seem to decide whether it wanted to be an adult show or kiddi show.
Early seasons had the overweight food-truck guy for comic relief. Along with the witty medical examiner guy most shows think they need. Several seasons later they added the ‘Jerry’ character from LOST for more comedy. And they have several other characters whose main purposes seem to be to deliver various comedic lines.
It draws enough viewers to keep it in the Friday night timeslot, though.
