Really good episode. Much better than I expected. Chi in this episode did much better as a writer than in season 9. I like both storylines. Scene at the end between Grover and Siobhan in flashbacks was very emotional and powerful. It was cool to see Renne again. Grover is lucky to have such a wife. She is amazing. It was also nice to see the basketball storyline, because as a sports fan I am always happy to welcome sports storylines. Especially since the NBA star, Metta World Peace was in the episode.

Main storyline also I liked. And it was connected with this new Big Bad, who is connected to some villain from the past (probably Wo Fat). Killing Bishop was more than certain. This DEA agent it was also more than certain that something was wrong with him. Steve and Quinn were suspicious, and this vibration of surrounding him. It's nice that Eddie appears more times this season.

I am very happy that they did not sweep the sadness of Steve under the rug. There must have been some consequences after Doris death and they did a good job. First a very sad scene at Steve's home, then a conversation between Steve, Tani, Quinn, and Adam. Then a conversation between Adam and Junior in the jungle. And finally, a personal conversation with Quinn, and one of the best scenes of the episode - Steve calling back Danny.

Wasn't crazy about the COTW but really enjoyed Grover's storyline, esp the emotional ending. Being a Danno fan, I loved the part when McGarrett called Danno. It just seems Danno is in even less episodes than last year...feels like every other one...I always like it when one episode storyline continues through the next episode like McGarrett dealing with his mothers death...makes it more realistic.....

In first 8 episodes last season he was not in episode 9.05 and 9.08. This season in first 8 episodes he was not in episode 10.03, 10.05, and 10.08. So for now one episode more than last season. At the moment it's hard to say in how many episodes he won't be. Last season it was 7 episodes. This season, I suspect it will be similar, maybe one more.
