This episode is by Anne Collins and Gerry Day. Two women writers who wrote for television genre shows dominated by men in the last half of the 20th Century. Gerry Day was a newspaper reporter before writing for television. Day wrote for westerns such as Wagon Train, Laredo, The Virginian and The High Chaparral. Anne Collins was mostly a story editor or consultant on television shows such as Vega$ and Matlock. Collins was heavily involved in the last two years of Wonder Woman and the first year of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.
Sorry that happened.
I think you are having the same experience most Five-0 fans have by this point. The show hasn't become terrible, just a little off and warped from it's once glorious past. The pacing of episodes is lacking. Resolutions are not earned. Not enough time spent on quality investigations. There are some plots that I feel would warrant two parts, but are speed along to unsatisfying conclusions. I'll have some more specific examples when you get to episode nine, "Deep Cover". I feel that in the Leonard Freeman years this would have been a two part classic.
