Quotes

Woody: Hey. (Knocking on the door) Is this a bad time?
Jordan: No! Actually I was...just calling you. Woody, I have a confession..
Woody: Yeah, so do I. Ahm...I did have ulterior motives when I gave you the ring.
Jordan: You did?
Woody: Yeah. I realize it was little over the top but...I don't know Jordan, I just felt the need to do something bold, you know? To get us past this stupid little dance we've been doing for too long. And I thought it would either bring us closer together or exactly what happened. At least now I know.
Jordan: I care so much about you, more than I think you know. That's my problem because I love what we have and I would never want to lose that. I think you're right though, I need to make a choice.
Woody: Jordan stop! OK? I give up, my ego can't take another round of this.
Jordan: That's not what I'm trying to say...
Woody: Please Jordan! I think we are all good, really we are just better off as friends. Truth is if we ever ended up hooking up we would probably kill each other within a week.
Jordan: Oh, you think?
Woody: No, but if I keep telling myself that...I'll see you around.
(He leaves) (edit)
Lily: You didn't see her.
Bug: Oh, I saw her. Women like that...
Framus: (Walks in) You're not talking about me, are you, Buggles?
Bug: No, and stop calling me 'Buggles.'
Framus: He is so cute when he's shy. (To Lily) Isn't he cute?
Lily: Like a puppy. (edit)
Nigel: I'll be a rumrunners uncle! (edit)
Jordan: Is it appropriate for a friend to give another friend a diamond ring as a birthday present?
Nigel: Woody gave you a diamond ring? Well…um…hypothetically if a male friend gives a female friend a diamond ring…ah I would say the male friend wants to be much much more than friends and is applying pressure to said female friend to STEP UP TO THE PLATE!
(edit)
Woody: Whoa, whoa, whoa. A piece of jewelry is not necessarily a declaration of love.
Nigel: Yeah? Even if it's engraved 'I love you forever'?
Woody: Well, yeah, if it's engraved-
Nigel: Uh huh. (edit)

Trivia

Goof:When Charlie is pouring a drink for her and Dr. Macy, she starts pouring the glass on the left, when the scene changes, she is still pouring into the same glass and yet the other glass is full, without her pouring anything into it. (edit)

Allusions

add »
The murder of the nun is very similar to a situation in the novel Sinner by Tess Gerritsen, In the opening pages, a young novice who recently gave birth is found murdered in a cloistered convent, and the baby is missing. The main difference between the two stories is that the death in the episode proves to be accidental, not murder. (edit)
In the underground passage, Jordan finds the Mother Superior's rosary and says, "Mother Superior jumped the gun". This is a line from the Beatles song, "Happiness Is A Warm Gun", from the 1968 album "The Beatles", better known as the "White Album". (edit)

"Pivotal"
This was a good show we got to see some of Garret falling in love with someone or just a fling. Woody finaly giving up I hate it cause it looks like he belives she doesnt even want him. Right when she was going to tell him that sucks.

"Not my favorite storyline"
Not a bad episode, but not overly original either. We've seen the story before, Crossing Jordan just gave it a new twist.
