History YMMV / WithoutATrace

* EsotericHappyEnding: At the end of the episode "Hold On To Me", a man finally finds his missing son after searching for him for ''six years''. But in the interim, his marriage has fallen apart, he has no relationship with his daughter because he's neglected her in his quest to find his son, and the son in question clearly doesn't remember his family (he was only 2 when he was kidnapped) and there's the distinct possibility that he might never be able to rebuild his relationship with his family.

** Creator/PatrickJAdams and Creator/RickHoffman of later ''Series/{{Suits}}'' fame guest-starred in two separate episodes. This borders on HilariousInHindsight, given Creator/EricClose's recurring role on the latter show.

* CompleteMonster: "Lost Boy": An [[NoNameGiven unnamed conman]] reaches [[HumanTrafficking new heights of depravity]] to satisfy his {{greed}}. Targeting families who had adopted children from Africa, he [[ManipulativeBastard manipulates]] the parents into giving the kids to him. With the kids in hand, the conman happily sells them on the BlackMarket, uncaring about what horrific crimes would happen to the children so long as it lined his pockets.

* CompleteMonster: See [[Monster/CSIVerse here]].

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: At the beginning of Season 2, Samantha sarcastically tells Martin, "Don't get shot, it's not all it's cracked up to be.", referring to her having been shot at the end of Season 1. Indeed, two years later, Martin himself is shot and ends up even worse off than Samantha.

** "Wannabe" ''really'' strikes a chord with anyone who's been bullied.

** Jack's daughter Hannah was played by Creator/VanessaMarano, who would go on to play Bay Kennish in ''Series/SwitchedAtBirth''.

** In the Season 3 finale, a woman named Paige is "missing" and she is played by Anna Belknap. Five months later, a character by the name of Linsday Monroe shows up on ''Series/{{CSINY}}''...also played by Anna Belknap.

** Thom Barry and John Finn both guest-starred in episodes (as a cop and an FBI agent, respectively), a year before beginning lead roles on ''Series/ColdCase''

* Ho Yay: Martin and Danny share as much banter, rapport, and [[MeaningfulLook meaningful looks]] with each other as they do with their female partners, if not ''moreso''. The fact that they can't stand each other at first before eventually becoming good friends could easily be interpreted as BelligerentSexualTension. Then there's Danny's reaction when Martin is shot--he's absolutely horrified when he sees that he's been shot--Jack needs to forcibly drag him away to allow the paramedics to work, he babbles hysterically while telling Jack what happened, can barely let the doctor treat his own injuries because he's so worried about Martin and nearly blows the subsequent investigation when he's so determined to kill Martin's assailant that he almost shoots an innocent civilian--Jack again needs to restrain him over his angry protests--"Let go of me. ''Let go of me''". If Samantha had been the one acting like that, viewers would have unanimously agreed she was still in love with him. Then when Martin returns to work, he practically gives him a LongingLook and is the one to recognize his painkiller addiction and push him to get help for it--the two of them essentially exchange [[HeldGaze held gazes]] when Martin joins him at an AA meeting, and the SoProudOfYou handshake he gives him upon learning that he's gotten a sponsor and committed to getting his act together reads a lot like HoldingHands. It's no wonder most of the show's SlashFic is based around them.
