Quotes

add »
Aiden: Kill someone and scam his tickets? That's pretty brazen, wouldn't you say?
Mac: I've seen stupider. (edit)
Hawkes: The fatal shot to the head was an act of mercy after the beating he took. (edit)
Diane(The Lawyer): My client has nothing to say.
Stella: That’s okay, I’m in a chatty mood. (Behind her, Flack smirks).
(edit)
Flack: There is nothing more depressing then looking at a rich kid’s moneyline. (edit)
(Stella and Flack just leave a nastily loud altercation with Jordan, her father, and their lawyer)
Flack: When I'm the cooler head, you know you blew it.
Stella: I blew it? What about Buffy the Friend Slayer over there? (edit)

Trivia

add »
Goof: When Stella asks who the roommate of the male victim was, she says "her" roommate instead of "his". (edit)
We learn that Stella has had three previous complaints against her: two by felons who are "marinating up state" and one by a suspect who is missing because of a DA mix-up. (edit)
Goof: When they display Jordan's Student ID, "Sophomore" is incorrectly spelled "Sophmore". (edit)
Goof: Supposedly a "restricted number SMS" was sent. No such thing is possible. (edit)
Goof: If anyone was to take a soldering iron to a memory chip the way Stella did, they'd fry the chip. In addition, interfacing a "random" chip is essentially impossible. (edit)

Allusions

add »
Stella: What about Buffy the Friend Slayer back there?
This of course refers to the cult hit Buffy the Vampire Slayer. (edit)
