Law & Order launched its tenth season with still another addition to the cast: former Ally McBeal regular Jesse L. Martin as detective Eddie Green, newest partner of series stalwart Lennie Briscoe (Jerry Orbach). This episode acknowledges the devastating impact of the Columbine tragedy, opening with a Central Park shooting spree in which several female medical students are killed or injured. Once the detectives have traced the weapon, A.D.A. Sam McCoy (Sam Waterston) goes after two perpetrators: the man who pulled the trigger, and the manufacturer of the weapon. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The plot is set in motion when a female psychiatrist is murdered. Among the suspects is the dead woman's ex-husband, Scott Hampton (Tom Ligon). The interrogation of Hampton takes place before the investigation zeroes in on one of the victim's patients, Megan Nelson (Francie Swift), who suffers from a multiple personality disorder -- and who has an inordinately protective father (Sam Groom). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The emphasis is more on law than order as the viewer follows detectives Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) and Logan (Chris Noth) through an extremely eventful 24 hours. Their unusually heavy case load includes five murders -- all unrelated -- and a violent, domestic quarrel, in which the husband gets the worst of it. Evidently, this episode made quite an impression on the series' producers; not only was it referred to in the tenth-season Law & Order episode "Entitled," but its memory was also invoked in a first-season episode of the spin-off series Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
