When Steve surprisingly actually protests to the Governor not to have to let a reporter come and be part of 5-0 business the former is 100 percent correct. They are running a tight, rather classified operation they do not have time nor can they afford to let a civilian outsider in on so much. It goes down hill from there. The reporter is totally a nightmare. Jean Simmons proved she is not a great enough actress to pull this off. Her character is blamesome and unlikable. The results of the trouble the reporter directly caused proved Steve had better judgement than the Governor the latter whom ought to very seriously consider going on vacation or actually resigning. What did Jack Lord do to deserve get this painful script that must have been also a total nightmare to make? What!?! Skip it completely like the plague!
