Hawaii Five-0 season 7 finale review: Is Kono pregnant? Steve faces a serious health concern
Speaking of losing people we are also worried about losing Chin. He’s been offered an incredible opportunity to lead his own task force in San Francisco and while he’s thinking about it, this is clearly a difficult decision for him because of his love of Hawaii. He also mentioned that he doesn’t want to make a decision until he makes things official with Abby – that’s right, he’s going to be proposing and after seeing Julie Benz on the show tonight, we are getting our tissues ready in hopes to see Chin on one knee by the end of this episode. Unfortunately, we were left with dry eyes because there was no proposal.
Is Kono pregnant? Yes you read that right. We never thought that we would be asking this question since there hasn’t been much talk of her and Adam trying to become parents, but who wouldn’t want to see a little Kono running around kicking butt? We saw her buying a pregnancy test and as much as we want to see her continue working with the task force, a pregnancy story would be great! We’ve seen other people on the team balancing children and work (like Danny, Grover and now Chin), so why not Kono? We would love to have her as a mom, sign us up!
Remember the heart-wrenching episode where Kono became emotionally invested in the sex trafficking case? We had a very hard time watching that episode, but loved seeing Kono front and center, so the idea that we are going to have more of her is inspired. Kono gets a call from the young girl she helped save and she gives Kono a sketch of a man named Dion who worked with Emilio in moving the women around. All we have to say about catching this guy Dion character is that Jean Claude Van Damme has some serious competition with Steve’s truck jumping stunt! While they got the win with this one guy, Kono reminds us that this is far from over since this is a huge operation that’s all over America. This mission doesn’t end for her here – she jumped a plane and headed to Las Vegas to help find more of these young women.
After getting his liver checked out at the doctor (and getting a clean bill of health despite how much garbage Steve eats from the vending machine) he gives Danny a present. He’s of course a little concerned as to what Steve is giving him, but every time he goes to open the box he gets interrupted. What’s in the box!!!??? It’s a chef’s hat with Danny’s name on it… and retirement is being brought up once again much to our dismay. What we are really thinking is that After Alex mentioned that he may be leaving after season 8 (next season) that they may want to retire Danny as well. Couldn’t you see these two best friends working a retirement restaurant together? Before we get to retirement, Danny learns that Steve didn’t go to the doctor for his liver, instead he was getting help for another problem. Steve got radiation poisoning when disarming that bomb earlier in the season and while in the short term the pills will help, the long term effects are another story. Steve has been having some dizzy spells and says that the doctor is sure there will be long term side effects for him down the road.
This Hawaii Five-0 finale had it all: Emotional moments with a possible Kono baby, and a party for Jerry getting his shield. We had some of the craziest stunts that we’ve seen on the show with Steve’s truck stunt and lots of the Steve and Danny bickering/bromance that we live for. Of course this wouldn’t be a Hawaii Five-0 finale without some kind of cliffhanger that kicks us right in the gut and that’s where the Steve radiation poisoning story comes in. This may be the beginning of Steve’s own retirement if season 8 really does end up being Alex O’Loughin’s last with the show. Episode Grade: A+

I just hope and pray that you bring cathrine back into Steve’s life for season 8. No one has provided the chemistry that was found between the two of them. Yes, she left him but then maybe she was being black mailed? I don’t know but please. Please make it happen. Also have her included throughout the season and give them a happy life time together at the end. Would a petition help to bring her back. We could do that if necessary.

I just love this show living in Kailua O’ahu for nearly a decade, just have to curb my gasps when I see the aerials of Honolulu. Keep in mind the decade I lived there was the 1960s. Many who stayed in the islands — have moved to Maui, Kaua’i and the big island rather than wishing O’ahu was the way it used to be.

This episode was very intense on both the action and the personal levels. I’m not happy at all with this new turn of events for Steve. But I guess if Alex is serious about not returning for another season this just may be the way to have him ride happily off into the sunset. I hope beyond hope that he won’t die but rather I can see a double retirement happen. Regardless of what PL says, he’s smart enough to know that there is no H50 if both Alex and Scott decide to not return.
I do hope that Kono gets in touch with Chin since this off the radar, one-man vendetta can only mean trouble for her and the team. A real-life pregnancy for her has crossed my mind so maybe we won’t see her for a while. But I do hope she comes back.
Well we certainly have a lot to think about and discuss over the summer hiatus. All I can say is Is. it. September. Yet?

It’s going to be a LONG summer with out Hawaii Five-0! They do seem to be outlining some endings for everyone so maybe season 8 is the end with Danny and Steve running a restaurant, Chin running his own task force in San Fran and Kono going to other parts of the country to help stop the trafficking, leaving Jerry with his shiny new badge all alone :(

I’ve learned to never say never when it comes to Lenkov. I really feel Steve deserves so much better than this turn of events. I don’t think Chin is leaving anytime soon (would you, the gangs are really, really bad, but it’s a great place to raise a kid! Seriously!?!) so Jerry won’t be alone! Guess we’ll just have to wait and see how this all plays out. I’d rather see a nice, neat, tied-up-in-a-bow ending for all involved and not the usual up-in-the-air, unanswered, storylines that this show is pretty famous for. Have a great summer!

I LOVED the season 7 finale! The stunt scene was fantastic and I loved Steve and Danny bromance!
Also, I agree with you about Steve’s news, it was a kick in the gut! I will be so sad if S8 will be the last season, but if so I hope it will end up with Steve and Danny running “Steve’s” restaurant. ;)
Thanks for the great review.

Thank you very much, I’m glad you liked my review. This was a great finale (even though Steve is facing some pretty serious stuff with this radiation poisoning). Feels like a set up of the end for Steve with the sickness and Danny with the retirement talk.
