Arc Significance
This episode concludes the breakup of the team, ordered by Supervisor Conrad Ecklie. Ecklie initiated the dissolution as retribution against Grissom for allegedly mishandling an older case in the episode "Mea Culpa". Ecklie assigned Nick and Warrick to Catherine and Greg and Sara to Grissom. Upon Nick's placement on an ambulance, Grissom defiantly tells Ecklie, "I want my guys back!", to which Ecklie reluctantly agrees.
This episode also introduced viewers to Undersheriff Jeffrey McKeen (Conor O'Farrell), who would be revealed as corrupt and would later murder Warrick when McKeen's corruption was exposed.
