7	As the team rise from the rubble after the drive-by shooting at the bar, they realize that one of their lives has been altered.
8
9	!Tropes for the episode:
10	* FromDressToDressing: A variation. A perp stabs a security guard, hitting his femoral artery, then tears off one of the man's sleeves to use as a tourniquet on ''his own arm'' where the guard had shot him first.
11	* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: Stella and Adam have a one-night-stand. Seeing each other at work later, things are awkward so they hastily agree that it can never, ever happen again.
12	* LodgedBladeRecycling: Played realistically. The stabbed security guard pulls the knife out and uses it to stab his attacker. He then bleeds to death from his wound. He might have survived if he had left the knife in.
13	* RoomFullOfCrazy: Downplayed by Mac because he's not crazy, but he does have a habit of writing things out on the glass walls of his office in order to organize his thoughts as he analyses clues. In this particular case, he's written so much more than usual and has so many open boxes of case files sitting around, that Stella asks him what's going on with him.
14	* SexForSolace: Adam & Stella's one-night-stand is in reaction to the tragedy of the shooting, Angell's death and Danny being paralyzed.
15	* TimeSkip: Downplayed. Per Mac & Stella's conversation in his office toward the beginning of the episode, only one month has passed over the summer hiatus instead of the traditional four.
16	* TerroristsWithoutACause: The guys who shot up the bar in the previous episode are at first believed to have been targeting law enforcement, but reveal their true motive here: they didn't intend to hurt anyone, just demanded a ransom to stop as a way of making a quick buck.
17	* UnintentionallyNotoriousCrime: The drive-by shooters had no idea there were cops in the bar, much less that they've paralyzed one of them. They're just shooting at random businesses for attention.
18	* WheelchairAntics: Discussed. Adam tells Danny he needs some spoilers, bigger wheels and a lift kit... while providing sound effects.
