It’s time for my favorite episode of Season 7 and that means the illustrious Daniel Budnik joins me to talk some Danno. Mind the spoilers!

First up, we gossip about some cons who put the art in con artist in “Welcome to Our Branch Office”. Enjoy the bonus Joker discussion. Spoilers for the ending of the episode from about 48:50-59:39.

And then we join Five-O and Wo Fat in a trip to the circus in “Presenting…In the Center Ring…Murder”. We were kind of in a time crunch for this discussion, but we still managed to fit in some speculation on Steve’s youthful experiences with clowns and the motives of the trapeze artists. Spoilers for the end of the episode from about 1:45:00-1:52:28.

Cameron Mitchell, Frank Gorshin, Five-O doubles, James Hong, Wo Fat, and Dan. It’s an all-star experience.

Cameron Mitchell, a middle aged white man with dark hair, wearing a dark blue shirt, grey pants, and white shoes with a white flower behind his ear, talking to Frank Gorshin, a middle aged white man wearing a blue hat, khaki shirt, and blue jeans, as he looks at some pictures. Two white chairs flank them and there's blue sky and palm trees behind them.
Five-O imposters. Fake Chin is a mid-thirties Asian man; Fake Danny is James MacArthur with his blond, curly hair parted on one side; Fake Steve is a mid-thirties white man; and Fake Ben is a mid-thirties Pacific Islander. They're standing behind a desk in a recreated Five-O office.
Wo Fat, a middle-aged Asian-appearing man, with a round, bald head and mustache, wearing a grey patterned suit and brown tie, sits smiling slightly in the backseat of a car.
