* CharacterNameAlias: When Holmes visits the police station, he decides that giving his name as Sherlock Holmes might not be a good idea, he introduces himself as "Holmes, Oliver W", although it is not clear if he is referring to the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Wendell_Holmes_Sr. American physician, poet, and polymath]] or his son, the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Wendell_Holmes_Jr. jurist and legal scholar]]; both of whom would have been known to him. Of course, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. was both a physician and a writer, so perhaps Holmes was thinking of his original [[TheWatson Watson]].

** While Holmes gets much of Winslow's life right, she does have to correct him on a few points: the "cocaine" on her table is just coffee sweetener; she wasn't actually married to her boyfriend, just a long-term relationship; the "angry paint streaks from a tantrum" were just her ex's unique painting style; her use of "Big Willy" is an inside joke to someone who doesn't understand things; and the bullet from Panama Holmes assumes she bought as "a romantic tourist" actually came from Wilson's own leg when she was shot aiding the Red Cross during the 1989 invasion of Panama. While thrown at the idea of a woman in combat, Holmes bounces back by noting "only a romantic would have kept it."
