Quotes

Background information and notes

• This is the second episode that seems ripped from the headlines of the Ted Ammon murder; the first was season 13's "Hitman." The earlier episode was created prior to Ammon's widow's death and her lover's conviction for Ted's murder.
• Goof: Lauren Klein was credited as "Carla Solomon" but her nameplate says her last name is "Solomna" and a scene card misspells her first name as "Clara".
