This is my favorite Wo Fat episode, for all of the reasons you cited. Season 2 is where Five-0 really hit its stride. The music, acting, plots, guest stars, action all improved over the already-great season 1. My favorites from this season (several of which are my all time favorite episodes) are:
Savage Sunday- Five-0 vs. militants planning an overthrow of their country
Sweet Terror- International terrorists try to wipe out Hawaii's sugar crop
Singapore File- McGarrett at sea trying to protect a gorgeous witness
Leopard on the Rock- A dictator who is the target of an assassination plot lands in Hawaii
Which Way Did They Go?- William Windom vs. Jack Lord in a cat-and-mouse game. 'Nuff said.
Blind Tiger- McGarrett is blinded by a deranged assailant; Danny takes over
Run Johnny Run- Christopher Walken vs. Jack Lord ('nuff said again)
Cry Lie- Martin Sheen is a slimy lawyer who frames Chin Ho
Most Likely to Murder- Policeman Tom Skerritt's wife is murdered
3 Dead Cows at Makapuu- While it definitely could have been shortened to 1 part, this 2-parter concerns a scientist (Ed Flanders) who has developed a deadly bacterial weapon that he is holding the state for ransom with.
Again, Season 2 (along with season 3) are my favorites. I can only think of a few episodes that disappointed (Bored She Hung Herself, To Hell with Babe Ruth). Great guest stars and plenty of action this season!
