Peyton: No apparent cause of death and the tox report didn't indicate anything helpful but I knew something was wrong... So, I, (notices that Mac is distracted) so I decided to just cut the poor bastard's liver up into a lovely pate and everybody in the lab just adored it... (edit) Lindsay: (talking to Danny) You look happy. (edit) Danny: Why do we do what we do, huh?
Flack: What do you mean?
Danny: Why do we wake up in the morning at three o'clock, stand at a crime scene in the freezing cold, living paycheck to paycheck, for what? To protect and serve? Serve who, the public? Sometimes it seems like they hate us, and then here we got the brass ready to throw us to the lions.
Flack: (shrugs) We do it cause we're good at it. Maybe we'd be lousy at anything else. I don't know. Maybe we do it for the one or two times somebody actually thanks us for finding their son's murderer. (edit) Hawkes: The gravitational blood drops that Danny found in the bathroom match reference samples you collected from McEnroe. It's his blood.
Lindsay: Wait, he was in the bar and at home?
Stella: So the question is: how was John McEnroe in two places at one time?
(edit) Mac: (Smirk) You know, I think I'm getting the hang of this politics stuff. (edit)

When Flack meets Danny in the bar after Danny's testimony, he orders "one of the good stuff". The pint glass he is given holds what looks like a pulled pint of Guinness..."real beer" according to every Irishman I have ever met and also "the good stuff", just find that amusing since it seems Flack is supposed to be an Irish cop. (edit) Some of the celebrity blood samples Sam Friar has sold are of director Spike Lee, New York City Major Michael Bloomberg, and John McEnroe. (edit) Danny has known Mac for five years. (edit)

Episode title
The episode title is an allusion to the saying What goes around comes around. (edit) Jimmy Nelson: I've never been married to a rock star.

This is a reference to John McEnroe's 1997 marriage to Patty Smyth. They have two daughters, Ava and Anna. (edit) Stella: Dead man standing.

This is a slight variation on the phrase, Dead man walking, which refers to a condemned prisoner on death row. It is also the title of a movie about capital punishment starring Sean Penn as a man sentenced to die and Susan Sarandon as his spiritual adviser.

This statement could also be a reference to a previous CSI: NY episode (not sure of the title) where a man is poisoned and reports his own murder to Mac.

Add: I'm not sure if there is such a CSI: NY episode. However there is a CSI: Miami episode (Dead Woman Walking) and a NCIS episode (Dead Man Walking).

Add: There is such a CSI:NY episode, a man reported his own murder in the episode Past Imperfect. (edit)
