* The crossover with ''NCISNOLA'' has Tony and [=McGee=] simultaneously say they're talking about ''Star Wars'' to hide what they're really discussing [[spoiler: Tony's breakup and Ellie's divorce]]; coincidentally, Abby is certain that her brother Luca isn't dead because "her family is strong with the Force" and later expresses frustration that while they both want to see the good in people she "acknowledges there's a Dark Side" and [[ThePollyanna he does not]], which she thinks makes him [[GoodIsDumb an easy target for con-artists]]. As for other [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse Disney properties]] (and [[Franchise/StarWarsLegends ones that were discarded]]), Luca's crush is a [[HeroesWantRedHeads beautiful redheaded woman]] who claims to have a DarkAndTroubledPast [[spoiler: who turns out to be a dangerous Russian spy who is actually a good guy and tired of being used as a "tool"]].

%%* It could just be my imagination but the background music for "Better Angels" sounds a lot like [[StarWars "The Force]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcZ9kQ1h-ZY Theme"]]. It might have something to do with the good man from [[UsefulNotes/NaziGermany an evil empire]] who needs to know he's still a good man despite what he did during [[UsefulNotes/WW2 the war]]. Also based on a true story.
