‘Hawaii Five-0’ season 5, episode 10 preview: Return date and so much more

The bad news for “Hawaii Five-0” fans tonight is that what you saw on CBS tonight is going to be it, at least for a little while. There is no new episode next week, and there will not be a new one on the air until Friday, January 2.

With that being said, we can at least give you some updates now about what this episode will entail! The team is going to work with a private detective to solve a complicated case, and you’re going to see at least one notable guest star in Eric Roberts to go along with it.

The title for this episode is “Wāwahi moe’uhane,” and you can get a sense of what to expect in the synopsis below:

“Five-0 enlists the help of an old-school private detective to solve the murder of a young woman who was secretly working as an escort, on HAWAII FIVE-0, Friday, Jan. 2 (9:00-10:00, ET/PT), on the CBS Television Network. William Forsythe guest stars as the old-school private detective. Doug Savant and Eric Roberts also guest star.”

Does it sound interesting? To us, the presence of Roberts is an extra boost, since on the surface, we would not quite say that it sounds like too much of anything beyond just a typical episode of the show. Then again, there are plenty of “typical episodes” that are at the same time very great.

We will probably have some more news on this story when it gets a little closer to airing, so stay tuned for more of that.
