Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe "Community News" section of the newspaper page in which Tina and Jason advertised their wedding has some pretty interesting stories. One references "a mad, elderly woman described as white, less than five feet tall, glasses, curly white hair, and carrying a large handgun" and ends with "Moral of the story? If you're going to have a senior moment... make it memorable." Another story speaks of a business advertising for a "stand-in mistress to be beaten up by his wife to vent her anger and to protect his real mistress."
- GoofsThirteen minutes in, Garcia moves away from her computer to the table behind her. As she moves further from the computer, her voice fades and comes back as she approaches it again. However, Garcia is wearing a headset, so her voice should be the same volume regardless of her proximity to the computer.

Featured review
Do the writers hate the FBI?
Like most shows, the writers depend on viewers suspending belief on a few things. I wonder if it bothers Kirsten Vangsness that her character is totally unbelievable? Normally 90 percent of the information she imparts couldn't/wouldn't be computerized. But this episode takes it over the top. Student records have been protected by FERPA since the 70's. Medical records have been protected by HIPPA since the 90's. It would require a court order to gain access. But Garcia hacks into schools and hospitals at will getting information on everyone without regard to due process. The writers must want us to believe that the FBI is big brother or that they just want to show the FBI as an institution that will break any law they feel like to catch the bad guy. Either way the FBI is to be feared, not respected.
