Trivia: Donald Bellisario was originally against casting Catherine Bell as Mac. Since Bell had played a murder victim in the last episode of season 1, Bellisario felt her re-appearance as Harm's new partner in the first episode of season 2 would confuse the audience. Bell eventually won Bellisario over, and she remained on the show for the rest of the show's run.

Mistakes

Washington Holiday - S2-E9

Factual error: In the whole episode, Romania is depicted as a monarchy with the king in a position that allows him to make political decisions. However, Romania ceased to be a monarchy in 1947. By the time depicted in the episode (circa 1997), Romania was a republic and its head of state was the president. Members of the ex-royal family did not hold any positions in the Romanian government and were certainly not authorized to represent Romania in international events.
