Hawaii Five-0 season 8 episode 18 spoilers: Alex O’Loughlin directs big Danny story

Hawaii Five-0 season 8 episode 18 is going to be a big episode for the CBS series, especially if you love both Alex O’Loughlin and Scott Caan. (If you’re watching the show, how can you not?) This episode is one that will feature O’Loughlin for the first time in the hot seat – as a director. More than that, this is also going to be the episode that gives you some answers to one of the biggest loose ends for the series as a whole right now: What was with Danny getting shot earlier this season? This is a story that traces back all the way to when he was in New Jersey, and this should be a great opportunity in turn to learn about his past.

The Hawaii Five-0 season 8 episode 18 synopsis that CarterMatt has for you below offers some more insight as to what’s coming up:

“E ho’okō kuleana” – The ex-wife of the man who shot Danny comes to Oahu and reveals how Danny’s protection during a dangerous domestic dispute when he was in New Jersey helped save her life. Also, Tani and Junior are assigned to walk the beat as uniformed officers for the day, and Adam is framed for the murder of the crime boss he has been tracking, on HAWAII FIVE-0, Friday, March 30 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. The episode was directed by series star Alex O’Loughlin. Jimmy Buffett returns as Frank Bama.

(“E ho’okō kuleana” is Hawaiian for “To Do One’s Duty”)

The more backstory we can get on our cast of characters the better off we are going to be. To go along with that, we’re also hopefully going to have some opportunities in here to see what gives this episode a signature touch of O’Loughlin. One thing that does make it a little bit different is that he will pick up a guitar at one point. We know that for many, that will be well worth the price of admission alone.
