In this episode, Chris LaSalle (Lucas Black) was behind the wheel of an NCIS car trying to catch up with a suspect. Taking every turn, he drifted the car so it would not collide with the walls he was speeding past. Tammy Gregorio (Vanessa Ferlito) tells him that he is too close to edge of the walls. Chris responds by saying "I know what I'm doing". Upon apprehending the suspect, LaSalle said, "I still got it." Lucas Black starred in the third installment of the Fast & the Furious franchise, Tokyo Drift, in which he was an expert at taking sharp turns in cars by drifting.
At one point Gregorio asks what all the "cloak and dagger" is about; Liza Lapira guest stars in this episode, she previously was on NCIS as Special Agent Michelle Lee and her final two episodes were "Cloak" (S6E8) and "Dagger" (S6E9).
