First time poster here! But i really like the episode and so glad Alex showed his writing skills.

I just really was curious how does Junior know McGarrett? They haven't really explained it yet unless I missed something.

Hallo and welcome to the board

When Junior showed up on Steve McGarrett doorstep in 8.02 Junior told Steve that David Lang his Master Chief always spook highly over Steve who was his buddy back in the days! Junior heard that Steve runs a Task Force and he wanted to work for Steve.

WOW!!! What a great and intens episode Top 5 for sure for this season

This episode also showed what a wonderful writing skills Alex has Hope we get more from him next season !!

How cute was Eddie being Noelani wing man

Loved the SEAL story it showed how close Steve and Junior have become over the last 7 months. Loved the flashbacks Joe saved Steve life and made him promise to visit his father and going on a date with Catherine I was surprised that they talked about Catherine maby it forshowing that she will come back next year. The bond Steve and Joe have is still strong you could see that when Steve visit Joe in the Hospital.

The second story was one for the fun I always love to see Hirsch, Five-O changed him over the years.

Now Tani finding that gun I can't believe Adam left it there Adam is not that stupid I think somebody put it there Adam is no killer.

Joe was like a surrogate father to Steve as remembered before his father's death, he was estranged with John at the time

Tani finding the gun as really Adam should not have a gun due to him being a felon. Felons are not allowed to have guns.

No Danny once again

Junior and Steve very close as they are like a father and son or big brother to little brother in between.

Hirsch is funny and love him with Lou! 10/10!

great episode.
this is exactly why i am watching this show: fun and action. the only "thing" missing was danny -again
wondering if both stories were written by alex or just the one about the SEALS.

liked both stories and the flashbacks. didn't know the friendship with catherine went this far back. would have been nice to see how they got out of there - 20 against 2. don't think steve was much help in his condtition so maybe more 20 against 1. maybe help arrived earlier than they thought.
nice to see eddie again and hirsch too, there is always some fun when he appears. liked the scenes when they were talking about changing their jobs.

love this episode but is confused i'd actually thought steve was medically discharged from the Navy for the liver transplant and now the radioation poisoning. Love the conserversation with jr and steve. really the part when steve told jr that it is crazy to have a person who isn't blood to have a giant impact on his life. To me steve wasn't about joe right there but danny. Danny had the most impacted on steve he actually gave steve a real family with him,grace and charlie.and steve made a real impact on danny to steve was a first real friend to danny since he step on the island Love the flashback with steve and joe. joe was the second person to tell steve to ask catherine out and don't mess up beacause freddie told steve the same thing in the flashback in season 3

Awesome episode. One of the best episodes this season. SEAL story was great (story by Alex!). It's always nice to see Steve as Seal and Joe again in the show. Junior becomes a more and more interesting and better character. I like his friendship with Steve. About the second storyline with Hirsch. There were good moments like the scene of Hirsch and Grover at the end of the episode or the scene with Tani, Grover, Hirch and Kamekona at the beginning of the episode. But generally, the case of the week was weak. As for Adam, I suspect that someone is framing him. He would not be so stupid to leave evidence.
