Hawaii Five-0 - Pono Kaulike

Past sins come back to haunt Five-0 as both Danny (Scott Caan) and Chin Ho (Daniel Dae Kim) are arrested on separate charges. The idea of a member of Five-0 facing serious charges is hardly new as it’s become one of the show’s recurring themes (in fact it happens so often its almost unintentionally funny at this point). What offers a slight twist with “Pono Kaulike” is that in both instances the detectives are 100% guilty of the crimes of which they are accused as each tie back their actions following the kidnapping and murder of Danny’s brother.

The Colonization Application

The joy of Sheldon (Jim Parsons) and Amy (Mayim Bialik) deciding to share a pet turtle is lessened when Dr. Cooper casually mentions he’s applied for the upcoming Mars mission without first informing his girlfriend. The episode includes Sheldon’s Mars video audition and a rather sweet make-up moment between Cooper and his girlfriend. Meanwhile, in an attempt to jump start their sex life, Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and Penny (Kaley Cuoco) do a little full-body naked sex painting that doesn’t turn out as planned.

Forever - Social Engineering

While looking into the murder of a member of an Anonymous-like organization of hacktavists Henry (Ioan Gruffudd) is forced to answer the question of how far he’s willing to go to keep his secret when one of the suspects (Erin Darke) discovers nothing about Mr. Morgan’s past is real.
