Corrected entry: In the episode "Hubris", Lily finds a quote in a letter a suspect wrote to the victim, "for wise men know well enough what monsters you make of them", which she says sounds a little like Shakespeare. She and a few other cops are later seen reading through several Shakespeare plays in an attempt to find it, but this is madness when you consider a) the sheer mass of his work and b) that she isn't even sure it's a quote from him. Much faster would have been to Google the phrase, which brings up several hundred pages identifying it as a line from Hamlet. Any experienced detective would think of this first.
