Bullock's account of a botched sting operation is so at odds with the other officers' testimony that the police suspect everyone.Bullock's account of a botched sting operation is so at odds with the other officers' testimony that the police suspect everyone.Bullock's account of a botched sting operation is so at odds with the other officers' testimony that the police suspect everyone.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSean Catherine Derek and Laren Bright created the original story for the episode as well as writing the original script based on their story, however Broadcast Standards & Practices (BS&P) didn't approve the script. Kevin Altieri recalled the script was much more complex when he received it: "We cut out flashbacks to Montoya's youth when she was called a liar. And flashbacks to Bullock's youth when he was playing high-school football when his dad yells at him because he was using teamwork: 'Don't be a team player, be a star. Being a team player is for losers. Go out for Number One, Pal." Many of the Scenes were taken out. Most of these informations can be seen in Animato Magazine Issue # 26 and #27.
- GoofsCommissioner Gordon would be the one in charge of the investigation and it would be up to him to suspend anyone. There is no higher rank in the police force.

P.O.V - Spectrum's Brilliance
Sean Catherine Derek and Laren Bright created the original story for P.O.V. Sean Catherine Derek and Laren Bright wrote the script based on their original story.
Original Story of P.O.V was very strong in structure. But BS&P didn't approve the story. This (below) was published in Animato Magazine around 1993. In Original Story, We cut out flashbacks to Montoya's youth when she was called a liar. And flashbacks to Bullock's youth when he was playing high-school football when his dad yells at him because he was using teamwork: 'Don't be a team player, be a star. Being a team player is for losers. Go out for Number One, Pal." There were many other interesting ideas in the original story. Sadly, BS&P didn't approve it. So Mitch Brian created another story to please BS&P. Its a lot different from Original Story. His story is what we see in the episode. Sean Catherine Derek and Laren Bright ended up writing the teleplay based on Mitch Brian's story.
But there are lots of strong points. Spectrum Animation Studio in Japan did the animation for this episode. I think Spectrum was best overseas animation studio for Batman TAS. If we look at episodes animated by Spectrum, then we will see how beautiful it is. In P.O.V, we see brilliant facial expressions of the characters, great action scenes, and many other things. Spectrum Animation Studio did the animation for episodes "Heart of Ice", "Vendetta", Robin's Reckoning Part 1, Its Never too Late, and On Leather Wings.
Alan Burnett, Eric Radomski, and Bruce Timm should have send more episodes to Spectrum. They only sent 6 episodes to Spectrum. But Spectrum did Layout services for few other episodes. But they didn't do the animation.
Producers of Batman should have done like Producer Davis Doi did with SWAT Kats. Majority of SWAT Kats Episodes were sent to Studio Mook in Japan for Animation. So the animation turned out to be great.
Batman Animated Series had great episodes. But many of the episodes became weak, because of the weak animation by Studios like Akom and Jade. But Producers made a great decision with this episode. Although the story is not great, still Animation by Spectrum makes this episode great.
