Tonight 50 years ago, CBS aired S05E17 "Here Today ... Gone Tonight".

First, sorry for the late posting - it was a long day at work.

Second, this episode is one of the rare true slip ups by Five-O.

Mr. Mike does a much better job with his no pulled punches review. It's here: https://www.fiveohomepage.com/5-0log5.htm#113

There's not much more I can add. After watching it multiple times, the less it makes sense. Bottom line: Barry Dean (Monte Markham) kills his boss, Peter Fleming (Douglas Kennedy), in order to run away with the wife June Fleming (Madilyn Rhue).

However, their plot is so complicated and convoluted it's no wonder they're caught. With the help of insurance agent Bella Morgan (Sandra Smith), the pair is trapped into confessing their misdeeds.

What makes things completely unbelievable is the fact that two houses are used. One on Oahu and an exact copy on Maui. By the time McGarrett figures it out, he and Ben only find wood splinters on Oahu. Nevermind all the contractors needed to tear the thing down. There is also a ridiculous helicopter sequence too. It's weirdness all the way around. When I want to shake my head, I watch this episode. Otherwise, I skip it.

Regardless of all that, Happy 50th, "Here Today ... Gone Tonight"!!
