  • When Elliot is tailing Cooper and reports that he is on the Grand Central Parkway, Fin assumes he is heading for the 'International Terminal at Kennedy'. There would be no way for Fin to reasonably make this assumption without knowing Cooper's direction and specific location on the Parkway. The Grand Central Parkway serves LaGuardia Airport on the north side of Queens County, goes south to intersect with the Van Wyck Expressway in the middle of the county, and then runs east through the center of Long Island. LaGuardia Airport has flights to and from most major U.S. cities and some places in Canada, which is where Cooper was headed when they found him at the bus terminal. The Van Wyck Expressway, runs almost due south from Flushing, New York, to Kennedy International Airport on the south side of Queens County. As a long-time resident of Queens, Elliot should have known that the Nassau Expressway and the Van Wyck Expressway serve Kennedy and corrected Fin's assumption. edit »
  • Lake collects rare books, specifically early editions of Ernest Hemingway's novels. He's been looking for a copy of The Sun Also Rises. edit »
  • Olivia turns on channel 4 to see the press conference. Channel 4 is the channel that NBC broadcasts on in the city, as well as most of the tri-state area. edit »
  • In the teaser, when Christie shoves the cupboard up against the door, viewers can see scuffs on the door where the cupboard obviously scraped the paint off on a previous take. The actress tried to cover them with her hand when she closes the door, but they are quite obvious. edit »
  • Lauren Molby: I've loved him since I was 15. (Stabler and Benson stare at her) What? You think a 15 year old can't fall in love?
    Elliot Stabler: I have teenaged daughters who fall in love all the time.
    Lauren Molby: Well, I'm still in love with Gregory. edit »
