• As usual, the first scene in the episodes after the credits is hilarious.
  
  
• Ziva asking if there were any questions and Tony asks if she had killed anyone with a spoon. Ziva: "No, but I am seriously considering it!"
  
  
• Tony confessing that he clogged (like tap dancing) in a summer camp!
  
  
• Michelle trying to throw the knife and it flies backwards and stabs a wall right in front of Gibbs who was coming out of the elevator then.
  
  
• Ziva casually following McGee into the men's room.
  
  
• Ducky scolding the dead boy for living unhealthily.
  
  
• Abby caught in her lab challenging one of her machines to a duel.
  
  
• When Abby was telling Gibbs the names of the compounds she found Gibbs said: "Friends of yours, Elf Lord." Abby had to remind him that they compounds and not characters from Lord of the Rings!
  
  
• Jeanne bringing Tony a platinum bracelet for Valentine's Day saying he belongs to a mental ward.
  
  
• Gibbs and the Metro detective interrogating the junkie.
  
  
• Ziva defending her point "like shooting fish in a pond." Carson correcting her saying "a barrel" And Ziva convinces him by saying why would a fish be doing in a barrel?
  
  
• Ziva: "Why haven't you breasted them?" Tony to a flustered Carson: "She means busted."
  
  
• The detective asking questions at Abby's lab and Gibbs telling him to: "Stop interrupting and listen." Carson laughs receiving a glare from the detective.
  
  
• Gibbs using the famous "You think DiNozzo" with John in Abby's lab.
  
  
• Ducky: "Poison has been the weapon of choice for women for centuries, except they tend to hide in food rather than drink." Gibbs: "That would explain why my last ex-wives spent so much time in the kitchen."
  
  
• Abby, Ziva and Michelle dressed up for a night out.
  
  
• Tony's reaction to seeing McGee with the dressed up NCIS girls and hearing Gibbs saying they had someone rich and famous.
  
  
• Upon hearing Tony say he should write a book, Gibbs telling Tony maybe he should read one first.
  
  
• Ziva: Where are we going? Tony: We aren't going anywhere. Ziva: Who are you taking, McGee?
  
  
• Abby hitting McGee with the boot after the club.
  
  
• Ziva dancing like Shakira in front of Tony who doesn't even look at her, while all men passing by can't take their eyes off her.

• More hints that there's something unusual about Tony's relationship with Jeanne; when Carson asks if Tony plans to marry her, Tony says that he "couldn't live a lie."
  
  
• McGee uses his Pen name, Thom E. Gemcity, to get into the club because the guard at the front door is a fan of "Deep Six". DiNozzo gets jealous of McGee because he is a famous novelist and Tony isn't.
  
  
• Ziva, Abby, and Lee really looked sexy in their outfits and it really caught the photographer's attention and was the first time they went undercover together and with McGee, who is a very famous Novelist, which makes Tony jealous.
  
  
• McGee is really, really creeped out by maggots, almost phobic.
  
  
• Tony enjoyed dancing during summer camp as a youth.

• Tony and Jeanne tell each other 'I love you' at the end of their phone call, except later in the season it becomes a big deal that Tony can't say 'I love you'.
  
  
• This Episode was aired one day before 'Valentine's day'. This could be the reason for the love-theme. "Friends and Lovers" was the first Valentine's-day episode on NCIS.
  
  
• The email that Jeanne has received in "4x13 Sharif Returns" was from JCARS@zedlink.com.
  We learned in this episode, that "JCARS" stands for John Carson.
  
  
• Detective J.D. Morris was played by Michael Whaley. This was not the first time that Whaley played the role of a Detective in TV. In the first season of "Profiler" he was "Det. Nathan Brubaker" in 22 episodes. Additionally, he played recurring roles in "CSI:Miami" (7 x Detective Bernstein), "Early Edition" (6 x Detective Paul Armstrong) and "JAG" (2 x Detective Carlton).
  
  
• In this episode we learn how to pretend to show too much from naked corpse: Just spot with a extremely bright light to the specific regions of the body.
