ADD TRIVIA-
Hawkes uses Danny's nickname for Lindsay and calls her Montana.
-
Mac uses Claire's name to somehow shut Quinn and put her in her place. He seems to experience both hurt and regret when being confronted with his shady past. Quinn is sad at learning that Claire died and she looks wounded at Mac's snapping.
-
Reed writes in his blog: No one should be written about with anonymity. But then, she shouldn't be dead. He is clearly talking about his fellow unnamed victim, who died just because she got in the wrong cab, but he is also talking about his mum. Claire died anonymously with thousands others on 9/11 and her body was never recovered. Both cases are examples of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
-
Reed manages to get Mac's attention through his blogs using Claire's name.
-
It is ironic that the cabbie killer shouts to his victim Why can't you see who I am? since we never get to know his real name.
-
Jordan, despite having been somehow close to Mac in the past, didn't know about Reed as opposed to Stella.
-
It is striking that Reed's parents are nowhere to be seen considering that their son almost dies. When Reed was beaten in season 3, Mac said he wanted him to stay with his parents that night, indicating they lived closed to NY.
-
Reed is from Chicago, same as Mac. That is a connection they share other than Claire.
-
Goof: When Stella is searching for the abandoned fire house, the computer prompts her to enter Paramters, rather than Parameters.
-
Goof: When Reed is in the trunk with the Taxi Cab killer's dead victim, her eyes briefly blink.

-
Claire gave Reed up for adoption before she met Mac. Reed is 23 years old, which is not consistent with the fact that he mentioned in season 3 of having waited until he was eighteen to look for her Claire, which was a year and a half ago. That would make him 19, 20 tops depending on when his birthday is.
