The show begins with a raid on a warehouse. But, their lead on drug smuggling turns out to be a hoax to make Five-O look bad and start doubting themselves. After this happens a couple times, it appears as if someone is working for the mob who also works for Five-O. Or, there's a bug in McGarrett's office. But when a sweep of the bug proves negative, then Internal Affairs assume it's an inside job. This is confirmed when they find $20,000 hidden in a safety deposit box--and the envelope has Carew's fingerprint on it.
Several times during the 11th and 12th seasons, Tony Alika was caught red-handed having folks murdered. Now I know our justice system can be crazy, but having him indicted three or four times for murders and he's STILL out on the streets--that is insane and I cannot see any state allowing him out on bond in such a situation. Yet, inexplicably, Alika is back and guess what...he's having people killed!! In addition, he's doing something very familiar on "Hawaii Five-O"--he's setting up the team and trying to destroy McGarrett's fine reputation. Yes, very familiar as it seems that such things have been tried at least a half dozen times before on the show.
Despite the show not being very original and having Alika, it is very watchable--something you can't say about a lot of season 12's shows. They were generally boring and stupid--and this one is only repetitive and a bit illogical--a BIG improvement! And, at least it's the last appearance by Ross Martin as Alika!!
