Added DiffLines:
* AsHerself: In the episode, Bree Walker is a local news anchor who gives the news of an earthquake in Los Angeles and the expulsion of the Thai ambassador. In real life, she's a talk show host but she did work as a local news anchor long ago.
Added DiffLines:
* ChekhovsGun: Angelique says she is addicted to chocolate. This is mentioned early on in the episode. It might seem like she was just making small talk, or that the "addiction" is just a quirk to try to give the character a little depth. But it turns out to be significant later on because she has some chocolates [[spoiler: laced with some kind of sedative]], and she [[spoiler: gives Rabb one of those]] after dinner.
Added DiffLines:
* MarriageOfConvenience: Ambassador Sonsiri tells Austin he's never felt jealousy, that his marriage to Angelique is beneficial to him because she's the kind of woman an ambassador is supposed to have for a wife.
Added DiffLines:
* ShoutOut to TabletopGame/{{Clue}}: After talking to the ambassador and his wife, Rabb allows some photos to fall to the floor so that Patano can see them. Austin knows Rabb did this on purpose. "We just played Clue with Colonel Mustard in the study," Austin says.
Added DiffLines:
* ThemeMusicPowerUp: When Austin shows up to save Rabb from the knife-wielding [[spoiler: Angelique]].

At Arlington National Cemetery, Detective Axelrad (Lawrence Monoson) arrogantly tells Rabb and Austin that he's got jurisdiction. The two Navy lawyers also run afoul of the State Department, annoyed by a complaint from the Thai embassy.
Commander Lindsey (W. K. Stratton) orders Rabb and Austin to back off from the investigation. But Rabb plays Lindsey by saying that Admiral Brovo wouldn't tell them to back off: instead Brovo would order them to comply with the request from State but keep investigating while giving him plausible deniability. Lindsey revises his order accordingly.
