** A more specific one occurs in Season 5's "The Life". When gang members start turning up dead after a 12-year-old boy is killed, Brenda learns that the gangsters were gang-raping a girl over multiple days. When the squad starts brainstorming connections to the rape victim, Sanchez says "How about a brother?" (Two episodes earlier, in "Maternal Instincts", [[spoiler: a vengeful brother fatally shot his sister's boyfriend, who he believed had raped her.]] And about a season before that in "Sudden Death", [[spoiler:Sanchez's own brother was gunned down by the teen brother of a known gang member]]). This rape victim doesn't have a brother... but the slain 12-year-old ''did'', which leads to a break in the case.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: The wealthy parents of a perp in "Good Housekeeping" stand out. They helped their son flee to Mexico to avoid being tried as an adult for the rape and murder of a teenage girl because Mexico would refuse to extradite a minor who faces a life sentence. The father tries to use this as leverage to get his son a favorable deal. This rapidly turns into an EpicFail because neither the father nor mother had considered that their actions -- helping their son flee the country and interfering with the authorities -- puts them in very serious legal trouble. Because the mother was using easily-traced bank accounts and checked into a luxury resort, the mother and son were easy to find. Their son also didn't realize that he did have the right to ask for consular assistance no matter what Brenda said. Nor did he realize that he was confessing to the rape and murder of a Mexican citizen in front of Mexican police officers, while ensuring that he'll not get extradited to the US. So, all three of them face prison with the son ending up far worse off had he simply stayed put and got a lawyer or simply kept his mouth shut.
