Trivia[]
- Scott Cohen, who plays AIDS infected Eddie Reyna, who in later seasons played Det. Harry Denby.
- Simone says that eight years previously, his pigeons had all been killed by "Newcastle's". This fits the timeline in the real world, as well. Newcastle Disease spread from Europe to the rest of the northern hemisphere in the mid-to-late 1980s, and the carrier was racing pigeons.
- Sipowicz's fish die.
- Donna's sister Dana comes to stay temporarily.
