Major Events
- Director Vance, still sore about being deceived, erased any evidence towards his date.
- The stash of money that Wesley Clark found was revealed to be a deposit used specifically for vigilante murders (including the most recent vigilante murder).
- Westley Clark, true to his paranoia about being followed regarding what he had uncovered, ended up killed within Gibbs' home.
- Vance's former date is also present, with Vance and Gibbs assuming she was responsible for his death, although she claims innocence despite appearances.
- McGee, having earlier been invited to test out a social media company's products, is secretly sent to their headquarters specifically to investigate the slush fund that Wesley Clark encountered earlier, although it came at the cost of him being banned from using their products upon being caught.
- Eleanor Bishop is revealed to be born circa 1984/1985 (as she had been four years old at the time of the Klowny Kakes poisoning scare in 1989).
Trivia
- Mike Farrell, who played B.J. Hunnicutt in M*A*S*H from Seasons 4 through 11, guest stars in this episode as Judge Miles Deakin
- In reality, the witnesses do not watch other witnesses testify during a court, and the defense by that point would have been well into the proceedings that DNA evidence could not be thrown out. In addition, Judge Deakin would not have the authority to get involved in the case, or interfere on McGee's behalf.
