Season 7 comes to a close with a plane ticket extortion scam in "6,000 Deadly Tickets". There's also a season wrap and a meaningless tallies that I didn't keep very good track of.

Season 7 is almost over, but the crimes continue. Five-O attempts to negotiate a tense situation in "The Hostage" and then follows the destructive trail of a Saturday Night Special in "Diary of a Gun".

As we speed toward the end of Season 7, Five-O tries to keep the lid on the heroin trade against some clever smugglers in "And the Horse Jumped Over the Moon" and then tries to prevent a mob war of sorts in "Hit Gun for Sale". Shirts not required, apparently.

Five-O tries to connect the murders of a business man and two doctors in "Study in Rage" and then the 2010 Five-0 team attempts to track down a serial killer targeting serial killers in "Makaukau 'oe e Pa'ani?", guest starring a resurrected Jack Lord.

Five-O tries to protect a young boy from an assassin in "Small Witness, Large Crime" and then tries to figure out who is killing to get their hands on coveted acquisition in "Ring of Life". We've got hot Bert Convy handball action, folks.

We continue our journey through the back half of Season 7 as Five-O finds themselves untangling a hi-tech web of deception in "Computer Killer" and then attempt to stop three lady bandits in "A Woman's Work Is with a Gun".

We're officially in the back half of Season 7 and learning all sorts of new things! First, Five-O gets a lesson in Japanese culture and high finance in "Hara Kiri: Murder", and then they learn all about the Peking Man in "Bones of Contention." Listen and learn.

It's time for my favorite episode of the season and that means the illustrious Daniel Budnik joins me to talk about some cons who put the art in con artist in "Welcome to Our Branch Office" and then we join Five-O and Wo Fat in a trip to the circus in "Presenting...In the Center Ring...Murder". Spoilers from about 48:50-59:39 and 1:45:00-1:52:28.

Clever and classy thieves have Five-O searching for stolen art in "How to Steal a Masterpiece" and then Steve finds his life on the line yet again in "A Gun for McGarrett". It's been a while since Steve's been blown up.

Five-O has to intervene to prevent some rich man justice in "We Hang Our Own" and then has to solve the murder of a man who wasn't who he seemed in "The Two-Faced Corpse". Leslie Nielsen and Abe Vigoda back-to-back. What's not to love?
