"Love Eternal" begins in the usual "L & O way with the discovery of a corpse, this one being a dead man stuffed into a dog cage. The appearance of the quirky and extremely "fashion-challenged" wife gets the ball rolling in a story that involves fraud, deceit, infidelity, kinky sex, and, yes, rare and expensive comic books.
One has to marvel at the writers' skills who were able to pull all these aspects of the tale into a very coherent episode.
Anna Gunn is superb as the murdered man's spouse, the primary suspect in his demise. As the episode progress, other's become prime suspects, leading to a very satisfying conclusion.
Regular cast members Linus Roache and the always brilliant S. Epatha Merkerson also deliver in this, a nearly-perfect installment from the recently-announced last season of "Law & Order."
