Arthur (James Daris) threatens a security guard with his Detective Special in "Encore" (S06E02).

Had William Shatner appeared three episodes earlier, he would've given the audience an onscreen reunion between himself and his Star Trek co-star Leonard Nimoy, who left the show the end of Season 5. Star Trek fans would have to wait until 1979's Star Trek: The Motion Picture for the two to appear together again.

Barney and Willy find the remains of Danny Ryan (Charlie Picerni) along with Thomas Kroll's DS and Frank Stevens's Official Police in "Encore" (S06E02). Since the IMF, working at the behest of the police, had drugged and kidnapped Kroll in order to find the remains and weapons, any evidence discovered could be argued as inadmissible in court.

Trivia

Bomb

Willy tosses some sort of explosive at Martin Stoner (Lawrence Dane) and a disguised Casey playing his wife (Elizabeth Ashley) in "Encounter" (S06E07). It appears to be just a pyrotechnic charge, since Willy wasn't actually trying to kill them.
