  Episode Notes  
This episode was shot in just two days. It's one of the quickest episodes filmed in the entire series.
 
  Episode Quotes  
Becca: I’ve seen these things go down. Everyone eventually needs to look out for themselves.
Vic: You don’t understand. We’re not the typical lowlifes that you represent. We’re a family. We’re surviving this together, or we go down together
 
Corrine: Some IAD guy’s been coming to the kids’ school. Trying to get me to say things about him.
Dutch: IAD’s into Vic? I wonder what they’ve got on him. I mean, probably take your pick.
 
Dutch: Ummm, you're sick. How sick?
Claudette: Dutch, I was here yesterday, I'm here today, and I'll be here tomorrow.
Dutch: I don't know what that means.
 
  Episode Goofs  
The crime scene with the pregnant woman is supposed to be fresh, within about an hour. But check out the ground. Most of the blood has already dried and hardened, indicating more than 5 hours have gone by since the scene was setup by the crew. Even if it were syrup, it wouldn't have lasted more than 2 hours.
 
Kavanaugh heard about Vic visiting Aceveda, but didn't hear about a random attorney checking into the case? Seems odd that IAD wouldn't let Kavanaugh know.
 
Look carefully at the gate int he background when Dutch and Corrine are talking. It's actually a gate for the studio, shoit with police cars coming out the back for effect. It's not really the back of the Barn.
