| - Let No Man Tear Asunder involves a black market organ transplant ring. For this reason, both Nick Knight and his partner, Tracy Vetter, wind up consulting the High Priority Organ Transplant List. However, where Nick is concerned to trace possible purchasers of illicit organs, Tracy wants to try to go undercover as a potential purchaser herself. Her plan is to use the fact that her uncle, Sonny Vetter, needs a heart transplant to make her story plausible. For each name on the list, four pieces of additional information are provided: the organ the patient needs, their blood type, their O.H.I.P. number, and a date. (The Ontario Health Insurance Plan, or O.H.I.P., is the medicare plan in the Province of Ontario.) When Nick looks at the organ transplant waiting list, several of the patient names listed are those of crew members on the show, including Jacques Bradette (production designer), Michael Crain (assistant director), Bert Dunk (director of photography), Katharine Gray (story dept. co-ordinator), Dusan Kovacevic (driver), Catherine Taylor (script supervisor) and David Vaughn (assistant director). It should be added that it is quite common for the names of people associated with a show to be employed when props of this sort are being made for television series.
