    • Trivia
      The down-tempo, piano-only rendition of the NCIS (2003) theme that plays out the episode was used for the intro of the David McCallum/Dr. Mallard tribute episode The Stories We Leave Behind (2024).
    • Goofs
      Abby says, "It's like a straight royal flush. "That's not a thing, is it?" Actually, though it is not call that, a royal flush consists of an Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and 10, all in the same suit, so a royal flush is also a straight.

      Ellie Bishop: So your fingers aren't broken.

      Nick Torres: What, now?

      Ellie Bishop: Oh, just figured that was the reason you haven't RSVPed to my e-vite. For my painting party?

      Nick Torres: Oh, I thought that was a joke.

      [seeing her expression of insult]

      Nick Torres: I'm sorry, what's a painting party?

      Ellie Bishop: It is like a housewarming party, except of standing around, you just... you get to get your hands dirty.

      Nick Torres: That sounds more like free labor than a party.

      Ellie Bishop: Come on. Painting is fun.

      Nick Torres: Unless someone is posing nude, I am not interested.
