* A meta moment that's also a callback to ''Series/TheCloser'': a concerned fan tweeted James Duff (the showrunner) when Fritz took over the Special Operations Bureau, concerned that a storyline might develop with Ann [=McGinnis=] which threatened his relationship with Brenda. Duff's response? "Fritz and Brenda are married forever. It's not a relationship I want to end." Brenda really does seem to have gotten her happy ending, or at least the best part of it.

* In "Dead Drop", Morales surprises everyone by coming to a crime scene with his father, a retired cop from Uruguay. Morales confesses to Provenza that's he been exaggerating how closely he works with the team, including an authority figure. The team go along with it as they act like Morales is mostly in charge while his father talks in broken English. At the end of the episode, the man (speaking perfect English) tells Sharon and Provenza that he knew the truth all along, but he was so happy his son had friends willing to do this that he played along. He asks them not to let Morales know he figured it out, as he knows how his respect is so important to his son, although he's truly proud of Morales no matter what.
