The end is near

wow wendie im still wired form that episode- i had to spit out my water when i read that you were wondering if she was gonna crash (rachael) or blow up while driving away. That was exactly what I was thinking also!! “oh no this is a long drive away–something is gonna happen and then they roll to the credits” but it didnt happen. there is a bunch of stuff that was excellent here. Agent Kaye finally starts to show the team what shes made of and it was sooo cool to see MCG as her mentor and big bro handcuffing her to the car and also when he took a back seat and allowed her to do the questioning – as he stood there proudly smirking at her keen insight. Danny and Rachael–priceless. Steve and Gracie–really priceless!!! Next weeks promo had me up till 3 am!!! Is it a set up by sing thru wo-fat and is steve on to it and setting the bait? wow– scott caan says that our hearts are gonna go boom when we watch the finale– I CAN NOT WAIT! Does Danno and family hop a plane to Jersey during the last scene? wow , so many questions – I wonder how much of it gets resolved? From what Ive seen so far theyre gonna give us alot to think about over the summer!

Could anyone else tell from the preview just what Steve gets in trouble for? I mean its obviously something the Governor can’t get him out of or even save 5-0 from

Until the End is Near! A very apropo title. Looks like the end is near for a lot of things on H-50! This was quite an episode – from start to finish! I know there was a crime in the middle of it, but who cares? Looks like some of the 180s were realized last night! Danny, our lovable ranter, is not longer alone on an island he hates, he has regained the love of his life (at least, for the time being, but I sure hope they don’t turn this into a soap opera!). Life is good at the moment. Noble Chin is exonerated from all guilt over the stolen money, and even though he is not happy about it, he’s not going to jail anytime soon!

Okay, Agent Kaye can stay – for now. She pulled her weight last night, and apparently is accepted by the rest of the team. It’s true, the more we see of her the more believable she becomes.

Why couldn’t we have had just a nice brotherly hug and fade to the credits? Sang Min’s appearance in their offices threw me, that’s for sure! Not prepared for that one. We had to get thrown right into what’s coming in the finale. I can wait, because I sure don’t want to face 4 months of nothing new but umpteen theories! Oh, well, I’ll learn to deal with it, I’m sure!

Thanks for the great blog, Wendie, and this great place you give us to vent and spew!

Great job on the recap.. and I was definalty thinking the same exact thing when Rachel drove away .. but I am not liking Kaye I don’t feel like she fits into the team

Wendie,

As usual a very good review and insights. Am definitely anxious about the season finale next Monday. I feel somewhat safe in thinking that it will be renewed for another season. There are so many loose ends, that it will not be possible to tie them all up in one show. That leaves us almost for certain with a cliffhanger. That being said tonight’s show was a very good one. CIA agent looks to being more trustworthy, but I am not totally there yet. Glad we got Chin Ho back for good. No way will Wo Fat will be neutralized next week. I was also waiting for Rachel’s car to explode. Great Five0 minds think alike.

Wendie..great blog as usual. My main thought about this episode was in all the relationships on the show. Building new ones with Jenna and the team. Rebuilding relationships between Danny and Rachel and Chin and HPD. Fortifying the relationship between Steve and Danny. The scene at the end when Danny comes back to HQ was the kicker. You see what these people have come to mean to each other. A calculated move by TPTB to makes us warm and comfortable so they can pull the rug out from under us in the finale. This “fracture” will hurt all the more for the closeness being felt before hand. This finale is going to epic…I just hope we all survive it.

Hi Wendie sorry I guess I’m the last to place my comment here been a busy day for all of us – still reeling from last night’s episode and taking it all in. Well a few things thankfully did get resolved for me that Danny and Rachel have reconciled of sorts. That hospital scene was soo cute and so warm and friendly and when Steve walked into the hospital room there was a surprised look on his face with a sheepish Danny unable to explain about the scene.

The pick up Grace from school by uncle Steve was touching since we know from the earlier episodes that Grace and Danny had lots of discussions about reckless uncle Steve but I think that she has now warmed up to the people around her father and mother. Her role as a worried eight year old was cute and Teilor Grubbs has been doing a great job with her little cameo throughout the season. So hopefully now with season 2, Danny will now have a good reason to stay in Hawaii and I’m sure that eventually Rachel’s former marriage to “Stan” will eventually come to an end.

Chin thank goodness eventually got his name cleared albeit under a great deal of duress but at least, thankfully and hopefully it will be put to rest once and for all. I think Kono stepping in and talking to her cousin made it very clear that his idea of using the money he borrowed would put the matter to rest was not going to work and I think from the previous hearing they suspected he was covering up for his uncle. I think it was very honorable that the IA did not agree to keep the money despite the fact that they checked against the serial numbers from the missing money. I also think that Kono won’t be seen as a rookie copy for Season 2.

Although in the preview of next week, Chin gets an offer to work with HPD, does he accept? What choice will he have but to accept….since Steve is under arrest and here’s a chance for Chin to perhaps wear a badge that could help save McGarrett but I think the other former “Five-0’s” won’t abandon Steve. Hard to imagine that they won’t be Five-0 next week. How is it possible to have come this far. But that’s tv, eventually the team will bounce back for season 2 which seems so far away. Trying to recall whether Peter Lenkov said that they write each episode to the finish and not have a “to be continued” but who knows with the final episode of the season whether we will see the “to be continued” for season two, I’m secretively hoping that we will see a conclusion for episode 24!! So that we can all relax, enjoy the summer and be ready for season 2 but it’s a big Wish on my part.
