* BusCrash: Lt. Loren Singer is killed offscreen - in fact, she was ''retroactively'' killed months before - and does not appear in the episode. Creator/NanciChambers' last credit as Singer is in the next episode, [[Recap/JAGS08E21Meltdown "Meltdown"]], where she appears only in flashbacks to previous episodes.
Added DiffLines:
* PoorlyDisguisedPilot: The episode not only spends most of its time on the stars-to-be of ''Series/{{NCIS}}'', relegating the main cast of ''JAG'' to guest stars in their own show, it's shot, edited and scored very differently to a typical ''JAG'' episode, easily standing out as a BackdoorPilot.
