International Airdates:
Denmark May 28, 2008 on TV3 (edit)
Due to the behind-the-scenes changes after the WGA strike, Linda Park is now only credited in the main cast whenever she appears in the actual episode. Therefore, she does not appear in and isn't credited for Father's Day, but does appear and is credited for And the Truth Will (Sometimes) Set You Free and Never Tell. (edit)
This episode reunites Angie Harmon and Joel Gretsch, who played a sinister married couple in the 2006 direct-to-video horror sequel Glass House: The Good Mother. (edit)
This is the first episode to be aired in the show's new timeslot of 10pm on Tuesday nights. (edit)
Following the 2007-2008 WGA strike, executive producers Elizabeth Craft, Sarah Fain and R. Scott Gemmill were all dropped from the series, replaced by Robert Nathan, a veteran of long-running dramas including Law & Order and ER. This is the first episode with Nathan as showrunner. (edit)

Quotes

Cindy: (On Pete) Who's that?
Jill: We don't know, but Lindsay likes him.
Lindsay: Grow up!
Jill: He likes you. He's doing the classic 'take-a-second-look' fake phone call. He'll turn the other way in about five seconds!
Lindsay: That's ridiculous. (Jill smiles and Lindsay turns to Pete and sees him looking at her, Lindsay smiles back) Okay, not totally ridiculous.
Cindy: Go talk to him, and while you're at it, forget about Tom.
Lindsay: Oh god, that's over, officially, it's over. And I am ready to get back out there I'm just not a make-the-first-move kinda gal. (edit)
Cindy: You all knew the victim was a cop, and you didn't tell me...
Claire: When an officer gets killed, people get scared.
Lindsay: We hadn't even notified the wife yet.
Cindy: Well don't you think that I would have held the story? What, suddenly you don't trust me?
Jill: Cindy, we absolutely trust you.
Cindy: Well what a funny way of showing it. I thought that we were friends, I thought that we were in this together. (edit)
(Lindsay runs up the stairs, and meets Cindy, Claire and Jill)
Claire: Hey!
Lindsay: Hey, how much did you hear?
Claire: Didn't hear a thing!
Jill: We've been collectively considering the question of why an eligible man wouldn't ask a smart, funny, strong, beautiful women for her phone number.
Claire: I had nothing to do with this...
Lindsay: And?
Cindy: It's the gun.
Lindsay: The gun?
Jill: It scared him off.
Lindsay: I wasn't carrying a gun...
Cindy: Oh, but he could sense a gun.
Jill: Yeah, face it Linds, some women are always carrying a gun even when they're not. (edit)
Barista: Coffee light, a mocha supremo with extra caramel. Jacobi is hooked on sugar!
Lindsay: Yeah! There was a guy here yesterday...
Barista: Oh yeah, Mister Blueberry Muffin.
Lindsay Yeah, (Lindsay pays the coffee cart kid the money for her coffee)
Barista: Oh wow, okay: non fat latte, double shoot. He works in that office building. Next time he passes by do you want me to mention you were asking?
Lindsay: (Lost in thoughts) Yeah.
Barista: Yeah?
Lindsay: No!
Barista: No?
Lindsay: No, no! Thank you! (edit)
Lindsay has just asked Jill for some sealed documents
Lindsay: You're not gonna help me?
Jill: This isn't about you. Just like it wasn't about Cindy, were friends, but we all have jobs to do! I'd like to keep mine!
Lindsay: Okay, I'll find Andy McCarthy and Henry Kraft. And if you don't help me I will find a way! (edit)

Great

"Fine example"
The groups dynamics are challenged, and Lindsay finds the possibility that all shes known about her father may be wrong.

"Exactly why I watch this series"
This was a wonderful return for a greatly under-rated series. Mixing the undercover-cops plot with the new-man-in-Angie's-life story, as well as the old return-of-the-long-lost-d ad routine worked very well.
