Two people are found dead, and the subsequent investigation quickly segues from murder to drugs. At the center of the drama is Caryn Wyman (Charlotte D'amboise), the wife of a U.S. Army major heavily committed to an anti-drug campaign in Colombia. But Caryn refuses to cooperate with the D.A.'s office until McCoy (Sam Waterston) backs her into a potentially fatal corner. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The body of a recent parolee is found in the trunk of a car. In pursuing the likely perpetrator, detectives Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) and Curtis (Benjamin Bratt) must also contend with Andy Grenada (Nick Sandow) and Ron Difka (Christopher McHale), a pair of wily and resourceful bounty hunters. This episode was originally shown in tandem with another Law & Order installment, "Haven," on February 10, 1999. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Season Seven of Law & Order begins with the good news that Assistant D.A. Claire Kincaid (Jill Hennessy) was not immediately killed in the car accident which took her out of commission at the end of Season Five (though actress Hennessy would not return to the show, necessitating a later episode which confirmed beyond doubt that Kincaid was never going to come back). New to the D.A.'s office is Jamie Ross (Carey Lowell), an ambitious young woman whose approach to her job does not always meet with the approval of her partner Jack McCoy (Sam Waterston). In the season's first episode, Ross intends to use a gruesomely graphic audiotape to put the noose around the neck of carjacker-murderer Fernando Salva (Victor Sierra). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
