!This episode has examples of the following tropes:
* AcceptableProfessionalTargets: [[IntrepidReporter Journalists]]. Vukovic assumes the young Marine won't get a fair shake because ZNN has already shown the dramatic footage of the alleged murder several times. That's before Cresswell tells Vukovic he's going to defend the already presumed guilty. Soon after in that same conversation, Cresswell declares "It's ZNN. There are no rules!" And in Iraq, Vukovic casually states, as if it were a well-known aphorism, that "ZNN is the truth on speed." Later on, Vukovic tries to paint the ZNN reporter as a military wannabe who settles for being an embedded reporter.

Major General Cresswell (David Andrews) dispatches Lt. Vukovic (Chris Beetem) to defend Smith. Major Atkins (Paul Schulze) prosecutes.

Vukovic discovers the unarmed civilian was very close to a suicide vest. Smith is found not guilty. Vukovic is assigned TAD to 1st Marine Division, MEF.

On a mission, Smith saves Captain Ellis's life, and then Vukovic saves both of their lives. Holliman again gets it all on camera. Vukovic destroys the camera. Holliman asks Ellis to charge Vukovic, but Ellis refuses, saying that Holliman's activities gave their position away to the enemy.

Meanwhile, back stateside, Cresswell asks Lt. Colonel [=MacKenzie=] to convince his daughter, a plebe at the Naval Academy, to not drop out of the program. And Commander Rabb is still off duty, watching over Mattie (Hallie Hirsch) on a respirator at the hospital.
