* AvengersAssemble: After Mike, Falsone and Lewis hear about Giardello getting shot while at a crime scene, we see a montage of the homicide unit, headed by Gharty and including Ballard, Sheppard and Stivers, hearing the news, followed by Howard getting the news while making an arrest, Munch while on a case in New York City, Kellerman while at work, Bolander while at home in his pajamas, and Pembleton while he's teaching a class.
* BackForTheFinale: In addition to those listed above, Brodie, Dr. Cox and Russert also come back, though they mostly stay at the hospital. Crosetti and Felton also appear at the end with Giardello.
* {{Crossover}}: With ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'' (Munch is at work when he hears the news) and ''Series/StElsewhere'' (though the doctor Creator/EdBegleyJr plays isn't named, WordOfGod confirmed it was Dr. Victor Ehrlich, the character Begley played on the show).
* CryIntoChest: When they hear the news Giardello is dead, Howard cries into Danvers' chest, while Ballard cries into Falsone's chest.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** While Bernard E. Weeks was not a fan of Giardello because Giardello wanted to legalize drugs, he had no interest in having Giardello killed, and told his crew not to touch him.
** Eric Thomas James (Creator/EamonnWalker) shoots (and as it turns out, kills) Giardello, as well as the drug dealer who sold his son drugs, but he admits to Bayliss and Pembleton he didn't mean to shoot the doctor who was operating on Giardello.
