Season 5 Trivia

  • Episode 05 - This is the first episode of the series to not feature all five cast members. This is due to the fact that the episode takes place before Van Pelt comes onto the team. Amanda Righetti is the only main cast member to not appear in every episode as of the airing of "Red, White, and Blue."
  • Episode 07 - Goof (factual errors): When Jane drives up to the prison, the SUV is marked "Department of Corrections". The guard tells Jane it is a federal prison. If that were the case, the vehicle would be marked "Bureau of Prisons".

  • Episode 07 - Goof (factual errors): The car accident would have been handled by the California Highway Patrol (CHP). The fictitious CBI as a criminal investigative agency would not be called to a traffic accident.
