Episode Notes - EDIT EPISODE
Tom Wopat is credited as a special guest star.

The original name of the series was Primary, which FOX changed to Standoff just prior to the 2006 upfront presentation.

Quotes:
Matt: (to Cheryl about Emily I can't win when she gets all smart like that.

Emily: I just want to know what you're thinking right now.
Matt: No, you don't.
Emily: Yeah, I do.
Matt: I'm wondering if the last time we had sex is gonna be the last time we had sex.

Trivia:
The ringtone on the cell phone that rings while Trent is holding the coffee shop hostage plays the theme from M*A*S*H, appropriately (for this situation, anyway) titled "Suicide is Painless."
