The drug-dealing husband of a murder victim may have killed his wife and another woman. In going after the suspect, Diane (Kim Delaney) places herself in harm's way -- upsetting Bobby (Jimmy Smits), who knows that she's pregnant. In other developments, Naomi's (Gabrielle Fitzpatrick) landlord turns her into the INS as an alleged illegal alien. And the investigation of a prostitute's murder is complicated by the back problems suffered by Martinez (Nicholas Turturro, who with this episode took temporary leave of NYPD Blue to star in a made-for-TV movie). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Poor Ernest P. Worrell (Jim Varney). All he wants is to be a real basketball player on the amateur team with all the other janitors from his workplace. Unfortunately, they have all told him over and over that white guys like him just can't jump. That turns out to be true until he receives divine assistance from a friendly angel (Kareem Abdul Jabbar) who gives Ernest a pair of magical shoes. In no time, he is jumping and shooting with the best of them. The trouble starts when his b-ball antics attract the attention of a wicked promoter who wants the lovable rube to sign a lifetime contract. More problems ensue when the son of the team's real star (the one who worked, long and hard to perfect his game) begins idolizing Ernest. Like other entries in the long-running series, Slam Dunk Ernest is filled with cornball humor, slapstick comedy and just a smidgen of pathos. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
