I'm not sure that I've ever actually watched a TV episode in first-runs that was advertised with those words, but my goodness are they ever applicable to this episode. Its last five minutes instantly added probably three stars to what was already a pretty good episode. 8/10 becomes 11/10.
Now, of course, the way the episode gets there is dependent on a few patented "Law & Order" contrivances that'll bug you a little if you think about them too much, but if you're any kind of a fan of the franchise, you've long since learned not to - I know I have! I didn't mark spoilers, so I won't give any, but if you happen upon this episode in syndication, don't you dare turn away from it. This IMDb pages gives a specific enough synopsis to identify the episode, so in the interests of spoilerlessness (isn't it fun to make up words?) I won't even go that far here. Just don't miss the last five minutes.
