* FirefighterArsonist: Inverted. A firebug is also a wannabe firefighter, having applied and been turned down no less than 11 times in at least 3 boroughs before the events of this episode. He had also set an abandoned car on fire in an alley two weeks prior, just to watch it burn. He arrives at a genuine apartment building fire dressed in stolen turn-out gear and quickly becomes the prime suspect when Jo realizes the number on his stolen helmet is from a firehouse in a different borough. However, he's quickly ruled out by Mac on the grounds that the man's mental issues preclude him having pulled off such a complex plot.
