TRIVIA: When Ziva gives Gibbs Kate's drawings we see one where she drew Abby as a bat. We see the same picture in episode 3x1, "Kill Ari (1)" when Abby is crying and talking to Ghost-Kate (the first time we see Abby in the episode.) edit »

Rule #18 - It's better to seek forgiveness than ask permission. (used in a conversation between Director Shepard and Gibbs) edit »
TRIVIA: When DiNozzo labels what his specialties to Gibbs, he lists multiple homicides, gang-related crimes and defenestration. According to wikipedia, defenestration is the act of throwing someone or something out a window. It should also be noted that the close-captions said "Decapitation" instead of "Defenestration." edit »
GOOF: While Ducky and Palmer are removing the musket ball from the soldiers body, a reflection of a crew member walking across the room can be seen in the morgue drawers. edit »

McGee: Bring back memories for you Tony [Seing the civil war reenactment]?
Ziva: It looks like fun.
Tony: Do you know what little Anthony DiNozzo's job was during these reenactments Ziva?
Ziva: Little drummer boy?
Tony: No, I would carry around a bucket so this guy could take a dump in it. The called me there little poo-boy.
(Ziva and McGee starts laughing.) edit »
Gibbs: You're coming along, strictly as an observer. Hand over all your weapons.
Ziva: Is that really necessary? (Gibbs holds out his hand, waiting) Right. (pulls the gun from the holster at the small of her back and hands it to him)
Gibbs: And your backup.
Ziva: What backup?
Gibbs: Left leg.
Ziva: Oh. That one. (propping her foot on the desk, removes a revolver from an ankle holster and hands it over)
Gibbs: And the knife concealed at your waist.
(Ziva just looks at him, blinking, then pulls the knife and hands it to him, hilt first. Gibbs reverses the hilt and offers it back to her)
Gibbs: You can keep this. I just wanted you to know that I know. edit »
Ziva (Sees Gibbs with a woman): Who's the woman with Gibbs?
Tony: Yeah, once your here long enough you'll figure it out.
Ziva: Is that his girlfriend?
Tony: I have no idea.
Ziva: You just told me...
Tony: Well you'll figure out there are some things you don't ask about. edit »
Gibbs: I trust you, you know that. But when we leave this elevator...
Ziva: You start kicking my butt.
Gibbs: I don't kick butt.
(Ziva smiles and Gibbs smacks her head.) edit »
Tony (Talking to himself at his desk): I shouldn't have come in to work today. If Gibbs sees me like this...
Ziva: He'll probably be as horrified as I am, Agent DiNozzo. Working undercover as a hobo? edit »

Ziva is curious about why her hat is ventilated. The cap is probably the same cap that Tony ventilated in Season 1, episode 1x09 "Marine Down," during the special target shooting practice. edit »
