- This episode introduces Lt. Patrick Bonanno of the Massachusetts State Police, a recurring character throughout Seasons two and four. At the end of the episode, we find out he works in the Organized Crime Division at this time.
Major Events[]
- It has been six months since the team last saw each other. They initally reunite because (unbeknownst to each of them until they see each other) Sophie invites them all to her debut in a stage production. The show is so awful one critic states, " Never before has a production of "The Sound of Music" made me root for the Nazis!" Only later do they find out about Nate rescuing their soon-to-be clients from a car wreck.
- The team move into Nate's apartment which soon becomes their new Headquarters.
- It's revealed Nate has quit drinking. However, when he finds out Sophie has a boyfriend at the end of the episode, he orders an Irish whisky, neat; after staring at it a few moments, he walks away without drinking any.
- Hardison gives the team newly upgraded Earbuds and remote detonator equipment.
- Unlike most episodes, the team doesn't gloat at the mark at the end of the con.
Trivia[]
- Costello and Costigan, the alieses Hardison and Parker use in this episode, are characters in the 2006 movie The Departed which is also about organized crime in Boston.
