Basically, if you’re worried about Danny’s future, don’t be: Caan isn’t leaving the show. It’s a part of his contract that he has some episodes off to remain in Los Angeles and spend time with his family. Given that Hawaii Five-0 tends to do as many as 25 episodes a season, it’s understandable after so many years to want some breaks here and there. This is one of the reasons why this show has such an ensemble at this point — when you do have episodes where Danny isn’t around, you can substitute him with some of the other actors. Tonight, for example, you’ve got an installment where there are a wide array of characters in the mix.
Of course, Danny will be back on the show soon and we have to imagine that there’s going to be some fun stuff for him — we do know that he has a big role in the 200th episode as Caan and many other cast members get to play characters within the past. The idea of this episode, in part, is to explore some of the history of McGarrett’s grandfather.
As for what we could see beyond just that, we’re hoping that moving forward there’s a chance to see more of Danny’s family life — and of course some exciting, fun scenes with McGarrett. The 200th episode is also going to feature the long-awaited opening of Steve and Danny’s restaurant, something that has been many months in the making. Who knows if that will work? If it does, there should be all sorts of potential for some excellent Hawaii Five-0 stories moving into the future.
