Major Events
- It's revealed that in the aftermath of the Navy Yard bombing, cell phone jammers were installed.
Trivia
- In the episode, Palmer tells Bishop that the windows in the forensics lab are made out of Hermetically-sealed bulletproof glass because of the sniper. This is in reference to Season 3's Premier episode, Kill Ari Part 1 (episode) where Ari Haswari shoots at Abby and Gibbs in the lab.
- To add to this, Bishop acts as if she didn't know there was a sniper that attacked Abby’s lab, but in Cabin Fever (episode), she said she knew the story of Ari.
