    Storyline

    • Trivia
      A supporting character in this episode appears to be based on L. Ron Hubbard.
    • Goofs
      The loss of an aircraft is a Federal matter, and Federal authorities have jurisdiction over the investigation. While the NYPD would certainly be asked to be a party to the investigation, Federal law states that all aircraft accidents involving US registered aircraft or aircraft on US soil are the responsibility of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Initial notification would be to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

      In a case such as this, as soon as there was any indication that a criminal act was suspected or involved, the FBI would be called in to head the that aspect of the Investigation.

      This would be a high profile case to the Feds, as the aircraft would have to operated under 14 CFR Part 135 rules, and the company would hold an FAA Air Carrier Certificate.

      Elias Grace: Isn't it great to say exactly what you feel?

      Det. Lennie Briscoe: I tried that with my first wife.

    Michael McKean Can Do Anything
    Again, not to reveal a plot, this episode is a cavalcade of wonderful wonderful acting. Along with Annette O'Toole, Michael McKean is one half of a spectacular couple. They rule the world. It's a world studded with beautiful, eccentric New York actors - Peter Hermann, Bill Cwikowski, Dana Wheeler-Nicholson and Michael Port, another SATC alumnus. It's a smacking cracker world of flips and flops and the reason Michael McKean can do comedy is cuz he can also do this: portray a megalomaniac for whom one has pity.
