Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaCars registered in Berlin have numberplates beginning with B.
- GoofsZiva's contact mocks Tony for acting like a "typical tourist" by drinking a "stein" of lager. But the supposedly worldly contact who seems to live in Germany should know that a stein has a lid, Germans don't call beer mugs steins, and beer is served in litres in Europe so what Tony had ordered is the same as any of the locals would have had. Germans usually refer to beer mugs as a Maß (Mass) meaning litre, which is how much it holds, in the same way the British call beer glasses pints.
- Quotes
[while dancing with Tony, Ziva flashes back to doing the same with her father as a young girl]
Young Ziva David: How long will you be gone?
Young Eli David: This time is different. I do not know when I will be back.
[Sad, she lays her head on his chest]
Young Eli David: My Ziva, one day you will dance with a man who deserves your love.

Berlin! Cosmopolitan city in Germany. And Ziva and Tony travel there Let me put the negative first: As in many non-German movies the film makers commit the common error to mistake Bavaria for Germany, in this case especially Prussia. (You can call Prussia and Bavaria sworn enemies. (/irony off)) I don't think you get Bavarian leather trousers as a souvenir on the Museum Island Berlin. And I also doubt you would hear Bavarian folk music in a street café in Berlin while a waitress in a Bavarian dirndl serves a "Maß" – a common size of a beer glass on the Oktoberfest in Bavarian Munich (it's 1 liter).
Despite all this the show is a consequent continuation of some story arcs regarding the series characters. Some people may find answers on questions they asked when thinking about Ziva and how incidents of former episodes might have affected her. It's well done in my eyes.
Whom I want to emphasize is Marina Sirtis. She's doing a great play. I like her much more here than in Star Trek – older and wiser and better, and more beautiful, too.
Last: This episode is a must for those who are interested in the development of the show's characters. Those who want a good old murder on a member of the Navy won't find for what they seek.
