- Big Brother Instinct: Rocco, a former Mafia captain turned F.B.I. informant, turned against the family because they recruited his kid brother despite his protests.
- I Did What I Had to Do: How Rocco sees his previous work for the Mafia, noting that it was the only way to provide for his family after his father died.Rocco: I'm not proud of what I did for Venutti, but it put steaks in the fridge.
- Oh, Crap!: Hondo and Deacon's reaction to finding evidence of a gun battle at a nondescript building and the bodies of two dead F.B.I. agents.
- That One Case: Bringing down the Venutti family has clearly been one for Hicks and his F.B.I. agent friend, Melvin Woods.
