Well, let's just say that the drama keeps piling on. As for now, both the title of Season 5 Episode 8 along with its synopsis has been released. There are a few more interesting guest stars as well! While Aly Michalka will grace us as Frankie in 'Golden Lancehead + Venom + Pole Vault + Blood + Baggage', 'Hawaii Five-0's' Jorge Garcia is set to play Jerry Ortega who helped Russ Taylor and Wilt Bozer work through a Codex dilemma. Also, Matty Webber's old mentor Ian Cain is back - Cain will be played by Robert Patrick. Cain isn't back under the best circumstances though, apparently, there is a deadly mysterious illness that is hurting his staff. Either way, we're excited, we're just hoping no one of significance dies. The past three episodes have been action-filled and informative when it comes to character arcs, so we have our fingers crossed that the season keeps moving forward this way.
