Trivia

  • At the beginning of the episode Nick tells the officer: "Begin at the beginning." At the end of the episode, he says the same thing to Cassie: "We'll begin at the beginning." Thus, the circle is closed.
  • The plot of the episode was originally going to be how Grissom was convinced that Cassie was still alive. When William Peterson's nephew died, he flew home and was unavailable for the filming of the episode so it became that Nick was still convinced that Cassie was still alive.
  • The LVPD patrol boat was registered in California. Las Vegas is in Nevada. That just seems like a long distance to trailer a police boat.
  • The keyboard used by Archie when analyzing the ATM video is a Logitech diNovo.
  • The gum wrapper had the brand, Bubblicious.
  • The gum that Cassie uses to make the trail is the same brand Nick uses to cover his ears in the two-part Season 5 finale "Grave Danger, Part 1" and "Grave Danger, Part 2" when he shoots the light in the coffin.
  • Once again, the whole crime scene had not been checked by the police before the CSIs were called, thus leading to Sara to find the marijuana room downstairs on her own.
  • Cassie's handmade card to Nick reads: Thanks for finding me. From: Cassie. To: Good Guys. About: Bad Guys.

Goofs

  • When Nick has an altercation in the interrogation room, a single tear falls down from the boy's left eye. When the shot changes to a different angle, the tear is coming down from his right eye.
  • While processing the student's car, just after finding the gum wrapper, Eric Szmanda cracks the back of his head against the door frame as he stands up. Like a pro, he just carries on even though you can see him wince as he does it.
