Season 7 Welcome To Our Branch Office Classic HFO 🌊.
A solid 3 Stars ⭐⭐ ⭐ Out Of 4 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐.
I remember watching this in my 1980's teenage years. A criminal HFO team 🌊 nearly exact replicas of McG & the HFO Team. Shaking down new businessmen in Hawaii. They would leave town big 💰 hoping to have the real HFO 🌊 team picking up the pieces and defending themselves. Thought it was brilliant and creative. Growing older and watching it several times over the years, I can notice the certain flaws of the episode. Walker was crouched down and his ability to remember certain turns and vehicle movements of the Fake HFO team incredible to believe. He is important leading HFO team to the fake HFO building. The replica of the real HFO offices are stunning and spectacular. McGarrett also has to tip his cap to the brilliant and ingenuity of the plan. Easy $50,000 in copying the design of the offices, name plates, tables, desks, statuary, etc. I think the episode paints itself into a corner as it couldn't make the fake HFO 🌊 team be too criminal. Remember how they had Danno undercover drop the stink bomb in Season 11 episode with Stoner. Couldn't have Danno shooting people on the street or knifing people in an initiation. I always love seeing Cameron Mitchell in episodes. He was in an episode of Murder, She Wrote later and was outstanding as band manager. Think it was called Murder To A Jazz Beat down in New Orleans. Greed becomes the downfall of the episode. Jeffrey and Stash decide they want all the money 💰. Stash expertly switches the fake HFO team money suitcase with another suitcase. It has newspaper scraps in it. The fake HFO team 🌊 excited to fly out realizes they have been tricked. Jeffrey then locks Stash in the telephone booth and he calls HFO. He wants all the money for himself. Jeffrey arrives at the airport ✈️ to leave but finds the angry HFO team 🌊 with no money. I like seeing all the HFO Team members both sides together. HFO Team 🌊 is able to expose the brilliant frame and arrest the fake HFO team. No damage to HFO's credibility and honor. It definitely has a lighter touch and humor than most HFO 🌊 Episodes. Despite the flaws in the episode, it is a Classic episode like A Death In The Family. Probably a MUST WATCH episode for every Classic HFO 🌊 Fan. JC
