I have to say that each year the episodes of Hawaii five-o, as we approach Halloween, are simply awful. That being said, I must confess that this one was far better.

A medium who took advantage of people looking for missing loved ones is found death and the coroner, nice to see Dr. Max Bergman, back, with a beard and now married, claiming that she was literally scared to death.

An entire array of suspects are looked at, but as it turns out, the 5-0 team didn't have to look very far to find the culprit and of course revenge was the major motive.

The secondary story of Adam and Kono being kidnapped by a bunch of lunatics set on murder on Halloween needed to be made more of.

When they should be working on their masters thesis after seven years.

For the murder case, it was super obvious that it was a case of gaslighting, and as soon as the assistant opened her mouth she became the only viable suspect.

For the death cult, well I knew from the plot description that they would get kidnapped, but following the so-called victim into the forest, tracking an obviously fake trail of blood, it was clearly a trap. Then they escaped, somehow walking straight past dozens of armed cultists. Were they asleep? Then they knock on the door of the first house they find, never suspecting the kindly old man was also a cultist. Kono gets the drop on him and knocks him out. Tie him up? Nah. Just let him lie there. They call the cops and they arrive in 45 seconds. They somehow perform a full forensic search of the property, uncovering two graves, and several video tapes, which they have time to watch, all before the bad guys are even loaded into cars.

Lazy.

PS: The babysitting subplot was the most entertaining part of the episode.
