Episode TitleEdit

"Homewrecker" is a slang term for someone that makes an effort to ruin someone else's life. This could refer to firefighter Mike Holden, who murders his wife and kidnaps their son in an attack of rage. It could also refer to Yassirah Al-Thani's efforts to ruin Officer Danny Sofer's career and life, after she killed her husband.

NotesEdit

• International airdates:
  • Germany: March 11, 2006
  • France: August 29, 2007
• When Officer Danny Sofer asks Shane Vendrell if they're considering a female to join the Strike Team, Shane tells her sarcastically that they will bring "Batgirl and Charlie's Angels".
• This is the third appearance of the Strike Team's trademark presentation card. Vic Mackey gives it to Tecks so he could contact him.

QuotesEdit

• Tecks: Man, I never put my hand on any of my employees! That's some old school bullshit. They can't go down if their lips are busted up.
• Vic Mackey: You call me if you hear from Dorea and I don't haul the rest of your stable in... They can't go down if they're locked up.
