User Reviews

I'd skip the procedure if he orders the chili.

A classic with Lennie Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) and Ed Green (Jesse L. Martin), and the best A.D.A. they ever had on the show, Serena Southerlyn (Elisabeth Röhm).

Alexis Dziena (Broken Flowers, Stone Cold) was magnificent as the sister to a dead model.

Jonathan Hogan, who has been on "Law & Order" four times, and is probably the only guest to be on all four of the "Law & Order" series (Trial by Jury, Criminal Intent, Special Victims Unit) was the doctor they pursued for the models killing. he was represented by another favorite, Michael Boatman ("Spin City", "Arli$$").

Jack loses this one due to an unforeseen twist at the end.
