Trivia

• The song playing in the last few seconds in the episode is Rob Giles - See Me.
• The storyline in this episode is similar to a Season 1 episode in the original NCIS series, the episode title being "Missing". Both episodes centered around members of the main teams of the respective series being kidnapped by ruthless criminals. NCIS's "Missing" had Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo while NCIS: Los Angeles had Dominic Vail being kidnapped. But unlike DiNozzo who was successfully saved at the end of the NCIS episode, "Missing", no trace of Vail was available to the team until the episode, "Found".
• The episode name "Missing" refers to the absence of Dom.
