Hawkes keeps his eyes open the whole time even without the mask as Danny is saving him. It is a bit shocking since the East River is a rather polluted one.
Danny's line at the end of the episode: Hey, hey, all in a day's work. You'd do the same for me, you know? is reminiscent of Mac's line in the previous episode: For some, the greatest sin is to turn away and do nothing.
Danny mentions Louie when he's telling Hawkes about going fishing on the harbour; however, he doesn't clarify if he is dead or alive which remains unsolved ever since 2x20 Run silent run deep.
Stella can be seen wearing glasses in front of the computer for the first time.
Mac has changed his phone extension because of the 333 caller.
Goof: When Hawkes is sitting in the ambulance getting bandaged up, after Flack came up to them, you can see the paramedics wrapping Hawkes arm against his chest in a bandage. It flashes back to Flack and then when it goes back to Hawkes there is no bandage around his arm holding it against his chest. His arm is resting on his lap.
Goof: Detective Stella Bonasera: (to Detective Lindsay Monroe) I'll bet you never had a chance to do an autopsy on a starfish in Montana. Det. Bonasera should be familiar enough with routine to know that the postmortem examination of an animal is a necropsy, not an autopsy.
The conversation between Flack and Danny about giving back Staten Island is ironic considering Carmine Giovinazzo grew up on Staten Island.
Sid can't swim.
Lindsay has never necropsied on starfish before. A necropsy is an autopsy on an animal.
Stella: Where's the damn target?
Danny: (To Hawkes) Hey, hey, all in a day's work. You'd do the same for me, you know?
Flack: What happened down there? I got a call from dispatch saying there was some kind of problem. I got here as fast as I could. Danny: Some methane bubbles caused an explosion, Hawkes got caught underneath the ship's mast. Flack: Some guy would do anything for an early retirement.
Danny: So is it true what they say? Hawkes: What's that? Danny: Did your life pass right before your eyes? Hawkes: I could only think of one thing the whole time I was down there. Danny: What? Was it your first kiss? Hawkes: Don't make me laugh. Danny: What? Hawkes: Sid Hammerback. I was in his lab, lying on an autopsy table, Sid was standing over me firing up the bone spreader. Danny: That's morbid.
Danny: Let's look at the bright side, we don't have to worry about sharks.
Danny: My mother was so pissed off, she didn't talk to me for a week... it was kind of a peaceful week !
Flack: Our vic's this way. Floater, showed up in the middle of the sailboat race between New York and New Jersey. Danny: I read about that. It's a reenactment of a race that happened back in the 1,600s. Mac: Yeah. Legend has it the winner got possession of Staten Island. Flack: Is it too late to give it back? Danny: Yeah, very funny Flack!
Hawkes: Which doesn't tell us what they were doing down there in the first place. Sid: Beats me. I don't even swim.
Lindsay: You know, he's lucky he had you down there, Danny. Danny: Stop goofing off, we got work to do.
Mac: How does a guy with a full tank of oxygen and a hydrogen pump suffocate?
Flack: (Looking at picture) Maybe we should split the list. Stella: (Rolls her eyes) Why, so you can get all the single women?
Danny: Yeah well, screw the fish and provide us with a crime scene.
Stella: I don't imagine you autopsied too many starfish in Montana. Lindsay: This would be my first.
