Most of the hosts are annoying. They're all eccentric but now that seems to be normal since everyone is trying to stand out by being so. I've seen most of their "hacks" already on other home improvement shows. Many of them are not practical for everyday. For example, one has a shelf the rises up to countertop level from the cabinets below. They say it can fit "all" of their small appliances yet they only have 3- a toaster, a blender and a mixer. The couple are supposed to be chefs yet they only have 3 countertop appliances?!? And they have an inferior stand mixer, which also brings the authenticity of this show into question. So many of their hacks are things that are mechanical which feels like a huge problem when they stop working.

Full disclosure, I've never liked the character of Doris McGarrett. A lot of information about her has just never made a lot of sense to me. This episode finally clears up most of the questions you will have had about her as a long time viewer. Personally, I came out of this episode liking her less than I did before. She spent so many years away from her family working for the CIA and when she "comes back from the dead", she then went away over and over again instead of staying in Hawaii and having a relationship with the children she had to abandon while working for "The Company". It's no wonder at all that Steve was always trying to make a family, first with the Navy and then with Five-0.
