• Ray proposes to Ziva, then want them to fly to his home state for her to give her answer with his family around. After Ziva learns that Ray killed on U.S. soil Ziva decks Ray as her answer for the proposal and for killing a U.S. Navy Commander (and for thinking he could get away with it) and for killing on American soil.
  
• Tony knew that Ray was going to propose to Ziva and later told Ziva after Ray proposed that he knew. Ziva was a bit upset that Tony didn't tell her.
• Gibbs finally verbalizes after Shannon and Kelly have been dead for twenty-one years and after Dectective Burris said that Gibbs couldn't possibly understand what it is like to lose someone you love. Gibbs says he does. Clearly Gibbs is referring to Shannon in his response, but could he also be grouping Jenny in his response too?
