Subject: Episode tilte meaning

JAG's Episode titles are usually pretty self-explanatory. Sometimes they would even have more than one meaning. But one has me stumped: Trinity (S3)

Does anyone know how that title relates to the story? Or maybe we discussed it once and I've forgotten.

It's one of the better eps, too :)

... I took it to refer to the Shamrock. The Shamrock is one of Ireland's emblem, rather like a three-leaf clover in appearance. In fact, some quick googling shows I'm probably correct:

The Shamrock
A shamrock is a young sprig of clover, used as a symbol of Ireland. Saint Patrick, Ireland's patron saint, is said to have used it as a metaphor for the Christian Trinity. The name shamrock comes from Irish seamr�g, which is the diminutive of the Irish word for clover (seamair) and means simply "little clover" or "young clover."

That's from Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamrock (If the link didn't paste properly, just search on Shamrock from any Wiki page.)

usmgrad, you could be right about the three countries but a trinity usually is an alliance of some sort as well, which I think isn't exactly being demonstrated between England and Ireland! Maybe the three US military folk; Harm, Mac and the mother? Mum, Dad and baby? Three "armies" - the Irish protestors, the Irish authorities and the US military folk? All of the above/works on all levels? Who knows!? But I'm quite sure we're meant to think of the Shamrock.
