Trivia

Danny: "Whoa, who's on first here, huh?" As Danny and Detective Angell are inquiring a neighbor about the tenant of the apartment where the woman died, there's a confusion about that person's identity. Each answer the neighbor gives gets the detectives more confused, until Danny alludes to "Who's on first?", a comedy routine around baseball players with double-meaning names that was made famous by Abbott and Costello, Bud Abbott and 'Lou Costello', and has been mentioned in a number of shows and movies.

Goofs

Det. Taylor holds up the victim's credit card and refers to it as a 'universal key'. He previously held up the card to the lock and it is clearly a dead bolt. The entire purpose of a dead bolt is to prevent 'shimming' opening in this manner. The only way the victim could have entered with a credit cards is if the door was unlocked to begin with.

Quotes

Detective Don Flack: I thought this was your night off.
Detective Mac Taylor: [referring to Peyton at another crime scene] My dinner date dumped me for a dead body.

Far-Fetched But Fun

I hate it when it's obvious who the killer is, right from the start. Usually, that's not the case but I thought it was here in one of these two crimes scenes: the one where we see a guy bash his head into a fish tank. However, what I didn't foresee was the weird twist in the story, which is very cool and one that nobody would ever see.

The other murder involves a woman stalker who is found in a man's apartment, dead in the bathtub. How she exactly died is another strange mystery. Some on the case think it was no homicide; others do. It turns to be even more impossible-to-guess than the other story!

So....you get two far-fetched answers to mysteries but at least they were kind of cool.

Meanwhile, it appears we are going to have a continuing subplot involving Stella, who gets cut with some glass at one of the murder scenes. The glass had blood from an HIV-positive guy, so Stella could have caught that. She gets tested right away.....but tells no one! Why wouldn't she tell her boss-friend "Mac" about it? I guess this is the writer's way of making a small soap opera out of it, something to draw us back. Heck, I would back anyway.
