Quotes
Olivia Benson: Before you and Kathy had kids, did you ever wonder how they were going to turn out.
Elliot Stabler: All the time, still do
Olivia Benson: At least you know what you're passing on... half my genes are drunk and the other half are violent and cruel.
Background information and notes
- When they are at the funeral of the boy and capturing signatures; They cut to the computer screen so Munch can verify who Robert Hooper is, Munch closes what appears to be the Outline and Numbering window in Microsoft Word. There is no reason for this window to be open, a search window would have fit much better.
- Goof: It is said that Lucas Biggs played in the Independent League. The Independent League had not been created in the 1980s.
- Goof: When Munch and Benson go into Avery's office and look at the back of the door, it's apparent that the pictures are taped/glued to the newspapers and that Benson is not really in the newspapers.
