Episode Quotes

Detective Elliot Stabler: [after being knocked unconscious by an explosion and being carried towards an ambulance] You're a jinx.
FBI Agent Dana Lewis: Who, me?
Detective Elliot Stabler: Last year at the courthouse when I got shot, you were there. You're bad luck.
Paramedic #1: [Examining Stabler] No blood in his ear. It's probably not a skull fracture.
FBI Agent Dana Lewis: You hear that? You're gonna be fine.
Detective Elliot Stabler: Every time you show up I nearly get killed.
FBI Agent Dana Lewis: You're still above ground, hon. Maybe I'm your good luck charm.

Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (continuity error): When Starr and Benson are in the diner, Starr has steak and scrambled eggs on her plate. The camera then cuts to Benson briefly, then when it cuts back to Starr, there are two pieces of toast on her plate that weren't there before.
Goof (continuity error): When Detective Elliott Stabler (Christopher Meloni) is knocked to the ground by the force of the dynamite explosion, the impact as he hits the ground wounds the left side of his head and he's shown having bled severely. The next time we see him - too soon for the wound to have healed naturally - his head looks normal and there's no sign of the injury.

Trivia

Olivia going undercover for the FBI at the end of the episode was a story arc created so Mariska Hargitay could go on maternity leave.
The newspaper photo of the French's treatment of their collaborators in WW 2 was actually a scene from the mini-series "Band of Brothers".
