    Storyline

    • Trivia
      This was the second episode of the series to be filmed and was planned to air as such until early buzz about the appearance of Pauley Perrette and rumors of a story arc involving suspicious dealing about Leon Vance prompted postponement while more viewers caught onto the show.
    • Goofs
      In Abby's scenes, she repeatedly refers to Director Vance by his first name, Leon. As she never does this on NCIS, it makes no sense that she would randomly and temporarily start calling him Leon.

      Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange: And the duress word is...?

      NCIS Special Agent Dominic Vail: Uh, uh.

      Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange: He who hesistates... is lost, Dominic. In your line of work, dead.

      NCIS Special Agent Dominic Vail: Uh, "shadows."

      Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange: And with the utterance of that single word the cavalry will race to the rescue. Let's hope they don't get caught in traffic.
