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.

Famous quotes containing the words arc and/or significance:
“If I am not, may God put me there; and if I am, may God so keep me.”
—Joan Of Arc (c.1412–1431)
“The hypothesis I wish to advance is that ... the language of morality is in ... grave disorder.... What we possess, if this is true, are the fragments of a conceptual scheme, parts of which now lack those contexts from which their significance derived. We possess indeed simulacra of morality, we continue to use many of the key expressions. But we have—very largely if not entirely—lost our comprehension, both theoretical and practical, of morality.”
—Alasdair Chalmers MacIntyre (b. 1929)
