First appearance of Lauren Lee Smith as CSI Riley Adams.
In the scene at Skagg's studio, he's working on a painting of a dead man lying in a red convertible with his arm trailing along the edge of the door. The pose Jerzy's model is in is a homage to 'The Death of Marat', a 1793 painting by Jacques-Louis David. Jean-Paul Marat was a political figure in the French Revolution before his assassination in 1793. Art imitating life imitating Art.
