Factual error: Two deaths by bubonic plague, spread by casual human contact, have Five-O scrambling to prevent an epidemic on Oahu. But the disease isn't spread this way (its vector is fleas on infected rats). And since the introduction of antibiotics in the 1940s, bubonic plague has been imminently curable, so there was no need for panic, other than, of course, to make the episode more dramatic.

Character mistake: Near the end of the episode, McGarrett tells Dr. Kuh "The imposter Lewis Shen murdered your uncle." The uncle McGarrett is referring to was, earlier in the episode, referred to as Dr. Kuh's grandfather.
