While arguing with a superior officer on the phone Detective Ravell (Scott Cohen) says that he doesn't care if he gets transferred to Staten Island, that he hears the grass is nice out there. This is a nod to Detective Mike Logan (Chris Noth), who was transferred to the Staten Island precinct at the end of Pride (1995) after punching a bigoted city councilmen who got away with murdering a fellow councilmen for being gay and pushing for gay rights. Logan was "exiled" on Staten Island for 10 years before being transferred to the Major Case Squad in Grow (2005).
