History Series / HawaiiFive0

* FlowerInHerHair: Kono, for Chin Ho's marriage.

* IdenticalLookingAsians: Inverted; Pacific Island natives are usually grouped with Asian ethnicities, there are several times where suspects can't give a description of someone they met past "he was a haole".

* NakedPeopleTrappedOutside: In the third-season "Ha'awe Make Loa", Five-0 comes upon a suspect they'd like to talk to dancing in his yard wearing nothing but a hula skirt. As he flees, the skirt gets stuck on the fence, and he winds up streaking a busy street in his vain attempt to flee.

** The trailer of "Ke Kinohi" makes a big deal of the stolen Champ box and the kidnapping of Steve's sister. [[spoiler:Five-0 managed to recover the box, and despite all of its contents being removed by the bad guys, it turns out that Steve's sister has photographed them for backup. And the kidnapping is solved within the first fifteen minutes of the episode.]]

* OlderThanTheyLook: Grace Park was 37 years old when she began playing Kono. She looks [[DawsonCasting about ten years younger]].
** This gets especially weird when she plays Kono as a teenager in one of Chin Ho's flashbacks.

** One episode opens with Max going to the bank to chat up the cute teller, just like he has every Friday for months. She suggests Direct Deposit, [[BlatantLies he claims that would increase the chance of fraud]], she asks if it's because he wanted to go out with her, [[DuckSeasonRabbitSeason he says "yes" automatically]] and then [[OhCrap lapses into gibberish]], and she gives him her deposit slip with her number. It's a funny and {{Adorkable}} scene, which is somewhat ruined by the bank robbers. [[spoiler:Then Sabrina gets shot during the robbery.]]

* MonsterSobStory: [[spoiler: Wo Fat has one as of the series 100th episode.]]

* LifeSavingMisfortune: One episode has Danny chaperoning his daughter Grace's school dance and finds out she's been secretly dating Grover's son William. He pulls William into a bathroom and does the standard PapaWolf questioning, just before an armed group arrives and takes everyone in the dance hall hostage. Not being inside allows Danny to call the rest of Five-0 for backup and formulate a plan, and William to provide background information about his classmates to determine why a school dance would be a target.

* TooSoon: Invoked in-show in "He Kane Hewa' Ole".
-->'''[=McGarrett=]:''' Okay, what about our John Doe #2?\\
'''Danno:''' You mean Jack?\\
'''[=McGarrett=]:''' You got an I.D.?\\
'''Danno:''' No Ja -- his head was in a box. Jack.\\
'''Chin Ho:''' [[DudeNotFunny That ain't right, bro.]]\\
'''Danno:''' Too soon?\\
'''[=McGarrett=]:''' Little bit.

** In "I Ka Wa Mamua," Steve chides Danny for expecting Steve to perform a SherlockScan of their bomb site. Turns out Steve could pull that answer out his ass because of [[spoiler: his [[ReturningWarVet experience]] with [=IEDs=] [[TheWarOnTerror in the Middle East]]]].

* WrittenInInfirmity: Scott Caan injured his knee in Season 1, leading them to writing in a knee injury for Danny to explain why he's limping around with a cane for a few episodes.
