The first episode following Nick's kidnapping and near death experience in the previous season's finale "Grave Danger" and presumably his first case upon returning to work after the incident. While he seems his old self for most of the episode,there are a couple of scenes where he does show some signs of having experienced a recent trauma,particularly in one scene where he is investigating the scene of a trailer park explosion when an insect crawls on his arm and he frantically knocks the bug off and he seems disturbed by this as it most likely served as a reminder to him of when he was ravaged by the fireants in the coffin that he was trapped in.
First episode featuring Sofia as a detective.
First appearance of Ford Crown Victoria squad cars for the LVPD - replacing the Chevrolet Impalas used for the first five seasons.
