Hawaii Five-0 season 8 episode 17: Michael Imperioli returns; is Adam in danger?

Hawaii Five-0 season 8 episode 17 on March 9 is going to continue a trend established by the few episodes that aired on CBS before it, and is bringing about an arc that puts the character of Adam at the center of it. Even though Ian Anthony Dale is really only available for a portion of this season thanks to his work on Salvation, the show has done a good job orchestrating a plot for him as he leads this new division of the task force designed to take down organized crime. He knows the field well thanks to his past and he’s even brought on a top contact in the form of Jessie. Unfortunately, none of this guarantees in the slightest that some of his missions are going to go off without a hitch.

For a little more information on this very subject, we suggest that you check out the Hawaii Five-0 season 8 episode 17 synopsis below:

“Hōlapu ke ahi, koe iho ka lehu” – Adam’s mission to take down organized crime on the Island goes sideways when deadly chlorine gas he was using to bait a big fish falls into the wrong hands. Also, Adam begins to doubt Jessie’s (Christine Ko) allegiance, on HAWAII FIVE-0, Friday, March 9 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Michael Imperioli returns as Odell Martin.

(“Hōlapu ke ahi, koe iho ka lehu” is Hawaiian for “The Fire Blazed Up, Then Only Ashes Were Left”)

This episode looks to be pretty high-stakes, and the photo above proves that you’re going to see McGarrett even though the synopsis doesn’t necessarily mention any of the other regulars. It is good to see that Imperioli is returning; he’s been working on another show in ABC’s Alex, Inc. so it’s nice to know that there was still a way to rope him in for an upcoming episode.

If you missed it…
