Goofs:

Continuity: In relation to Omar's death, the female writer at the Baltimore Sun is going over with the editor which story of two should be included in the upcoming edition. She says one is the homicide of a "34 year old" male at a grocery store. Later, at the very end of the episode, they open the body bag to reveal Omar's corpse with the wrong tag. On his correct tag it shows a date of birth as "August 11, 1960". This would make him 47, not 34 as the Sun writer had previously stated.
