History Recap / CSINYS07E16

* {{Continuity}}: The newspaper article the young woman kept to identify Mac is about the drug bust in 'Snow Day.' The accompanying picture is of Mac exiting the Lab's high-rise at the end of that episode (3.24).

* SmithOfTheYard: Mac. The young woman seeks out Mac to tell her story to because she saw an article entitled "Hero Cop" from the time when [[Recap/CSINYS03E24 some violent drug runners stormed the Lab]], and knew she could trust him to believe her and go after the bad guys.

* DistressedDude: Averted as Mac frees himself.

* MistakenForJunkie: Sid finds three things to confirm Mac is right about the girl: only a small amount of heroin in her system, not a single other needle mark on her, and calluses on her fingers suggesting her dominant side was the one with the needle.

* PunnyHeadline: Among the newspaper articles Tessa has tacked to her wall is one with the headline, "Headless Body Lost in Topless Bar."

* TheOphelia: The disturbed woman trusted Mac because she'd seen him in the newspaper. She always spoke in confusing non-sequiturs, referred to the perps as various members of the infamous Chicago Black Sox scandal, and would abruptly leave without ever giving Mac all the details.
