* CallBack: CelebrityIsOverrated: Taylor Shane had become sick of the fame and glamor that come with being a supermodel, and wanted to settle for an anonymous life with her fiance. Her StageDad couldn't understand her choice and inadvertently poisoned her in an attempt to gain control of her life again.

* QuoteMine: When supermodel Taylor Shane was found dead on a Marine base, the press were all over the entrance trying to get in or talk with someone. When Gibbs was going through, they were shoving themselves in the way and knocked his coffee out of his hands. Very angry but holding it in, he kept on the "No comment" line. When one complained about their story not having much if they don't get answers, Gibbs replied "I don't care." Later, the reporter took that line and added the question "Don't you care about the victim?" or something to that effect and added Gibbs' line to the shot of him walking away. Gibbs is able to convince the station to make a retraction and apology.
