When they learn that the salmon population is being threatened by sea lice produced by fish farms, Shore and Crane feel compelled to act. Meanwhile Catherine Piper drops a bombshell on Shirley Schmidt when she confesses to killing Bernard Ferrion by whacking him over the head with a skillet, and the firm scrambles to find the best way to deal with this shocking turn of events.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: As Alan is talking in the court room, he has his "American" wig on. The next shot is of Denny up close. Alan is no longer wearing a wig. When the angle returns to a wide one in the next shot, his wig is back on.

TRIVIA

The song that plays as Alan and Denny fly over Canada is "Oh, Canada" by Five Iron Frenzy. Although here it is trimmed out, the full song mentions that William Shatner is a citizen of Canada.
In the episode "Finding Nimmo" there is a reference to William Shatner's career in Star Trek. While resting in the cabin, Alan Shore (James Spader) mentions to Denny (Shatner) that there are parasites called "Cling ons". Denny reacts with a shocked look and says "Did you say Klingons?" There are also other references to Star Trek in other episodes. Some examples being Denny's cell phone and a metal detector making the communicator chirp and Denny saying "What am I supposed to do, beam to Boston everyday?"
While in the Canada courtroom, Alan tells the judge they will leave him with two small but lasting words. Then Denny says, "Denny Crane, eh?" Denny making fun of Canadian accents is especially amusing when one considers that William Shatner was born in Canada.
