After Steve McGarrett (Alex O' Loughlin) and Alicia (Claire Forlani) successfully escape from the clutches of the Chess Piece killer and close the case with slight injuries to Steve, the team will be faced with yet another challenging case in the fifth episode of the seventh season of "Hawaii Five-0."

Meanwhile, there are reports that season 8 may be Alex O' Loughlin's final season with the show. According to Movie News Guide, the actor has been experiencing back pains that are further aggravated by the physical requirements of his role in the show.
