* ShooOutTheNewGuy: Megan Donner (played by Kim Delaney) was a central character for the first 11 episodes, and featured heavily in the original promotion before the series started. She was then PutOnABus, supposedly due to a lack of onscreen chemistry between Delaney and Caruso.

* {{Anvilicious}}: The beginning of 9x09 "Blood Sugar". Its images of workers hacking away at sugarcane, the lyrics of the background music, and even the ''title'' (riffing off the phenomenon of "blood diamonds"), appear to be trying to lay a guilt trip on the audience for...''using sugar''. No accident that the presumably rich people in the gazebo are white while almost everyone else is Hispanic, either. Would you like a little implied racism/reverse racism with your anvil?
