Trivia
Ari's SUV's distinctive-font license plate - 724 TJA - was also on the car rented by the two navy pilots who were killed at the start of Twilight (2005).

Goofs
At Kate's funeral her casket is draped with a US Flag. During the funeral, the flag should be removed, folded into the triangle, and presented to family or a designated person, but as the funeral ended, the casket is still draped with the flag with flowers placed on the flag. Nothing is ever placed on top of a flag covering a casket.

Quotes
Abby Sciuto: For "Nobody leaving the building", there are a lot of people leaving the building.

3 Episodes to really appreciate

I find it difficult to review this as a stand-alone episode. This is at least a 3 episode arc that include "Twilight" and Kill Ari (part I). With all of these included, I think this is arguably the best that NCIS has to offer. The writing, direction, production, and acting are all top-notch. The suspense and twists are superb.

The "Ari" arc actually began in season 1, and he's not forgotten as the show continues on for many years. There were many great arcs over the first 10 seasons, but this one set the bar.

Were it not for items like "Casablanca", "The Grapes of Wrath", etc., I'd have given this a 10. These 3 episodes are a must watch for any NCIS fan.
