** The first episode in the sixteenth season, despite not being a two-parter, mainly because [[spoiler: it has so much BaitAndSwitch in it. As a first, Eddy ''is still alive'', he's revealed to have [[FakingTheDead faked his death]] - [[CassandraTruth but no one believes it]] because he's already been declared dead. He immediately kills the pathologist, who we're led to think will play a large role since he's from the higher ups. Then, as we settle into a groove with Donna as the new chief, he promptly kills her (for real, as we see her die) and the episode ends with ''Eva being elected chief'']].

To recount: [[spoiler: a criminal is arrested for attempting to bomb the government and is interrogated for hours, Nick performs suicide, Romeo wants to avenge the boy but is stopped by Marion, they discover that a daughter of a prosecutor is kidnapped, she is saved while Wolfs drives a car full of explosives and survives]] all on the same day. This contrasts other episodes, where you can see day and night switching very prominently, yet it never does here.
