This is the fourth episode where something dramatic happened, then went back "8 hours earlier" to bring the viewers up to speed. The other three episodes were from earlier seasons: when it looked like Calleigh was shot and was lying there bleeding (Season 3, Episode 21, Recoil), when Ryan got shot in the eye with a nail gun (Season 4, episode 8, Nailed), and when Natalia got arrested for the murder of her ex-husband (Season 5, episode 12, Internal Affairs).
Goof: A key piece of evidence is the fingerprint of a spent bullet casing. However, since the bullet had already been fired, the print should have been burned off by the heat.
John Walden is Horatio's cover name in the Special Task Force 16 years ago.
Frank Tripp passed his Sergeant's exam.
Yelena: Are you sure the boy's your son? Horatio: I am. Yelena: And what about the name on the birth certificate? Horatio: John Walden is a cover name I used 16 years ago. I did some special task force work in Pensacola. That's when I met Julia. Yelena: And this Julia put it on a birth certificate because that's the only name she knew you by. Horatio: That's exactly right. She disappeared a few months after we met. Yelena: Was it serious? Horatio: It was for me. Yelena: And you never knew she was pregnant. Horatio: Not until today. Yelena: You'd make a great father, Horatio.
Rick Bates: I get what I want without getting my hands dirty. Calleigh: You know what? Murder, drugs, blackmail. I would say your hands were filthy.
Jake (to Calleigh): Morning, Officer pretty...
Jake: What happened? They knock you back to uniform? Frank (points to his arm): These are stripes, Sparky, all right? Now you're as dumb as you look. Just passed the Sergeant's exam.
Natalia: One hit... Ryan (looking at Natalia's shooting target): And fourteen misses. Natalia: Don't tell anyone how bad I am. Ryan: Don't tell anybody I work here. Natalia: Deal. Ryan: Deal.
Calleigh: Hey, Eric. Eric: Nice tan. Calleigh (smiles): Five days in Antigua. It's the first vacation I've had in a long time. Eric: Yeah? I saw Jake outside. Got the same tan.
Jake: His file says he has, like, 2,000 cases. Horatio: 2,000 cases, and now 2,000 suspects.
