This episode was advertised as the 300th installment of Law & Order, although technically it was number 301. (NBC did not count the series' 1990 pilot, which had originally been produced for CBS.) Again drawing its inspiration from recent headlines, the episode opens with an apparent fire in a high-rise apartment, culminating horribly when the baby son of popular comedian Monty Bender (Adam Ferrara) falls from the apartment window to his death. What appears to be a tragic accident leads to the reopening of an old pedophilia charge against Bender, and a startling revelation involving the parents of a young boy who'd been paid off to drop their case against the beleaguered comic. Real-life comedian Larry Miller, who'd played a murderer on two earlier episodes, is here cast as himself. This was the final episode of Law & Order's 13th season. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
T.R. Knight, Danny Aiello, Vincent Pastore, and Gilbert Gottfried star in writer/director John DeBellis' bittersweet romantic comedy about a dying father who implores one of his sons to have a baby boy and carry on the family name. Pop (Aiello) is dying, but before he punches out he wants to make sure that his legacy will live on. In order to insure that this happens, he begs his sons Tom ($Knight) and Jeff (also Knight) to marry a woman and father a son. While Tom is more than up to the task, tragedy strikes when he dies trying. Now it's all up to Jeff, but how does a seminary student who's planning on becoming a priest maintain his vow of celibacy and fulfill his father's dying wish at the same time? When Pop confronts Jeff with a question that shakes the loyal son to the very core, he abandons the seminary in order to follow through on his dear old dad's final request. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

A political consultant in the midst of a bitter divorce attempts to delicately divulge the truth about his past relationships to his curious young daughter, who simply won't stop asking questions until she's satisfied with all the answers. Ten-year-old Maya (Abigail Breslin) is heartbroken to see her parents splitting up, but she's determined to find out precisely how it was that mom and dad came together in the first place. When Maya starts questioning her father Will (Ryan Reynolds) about his life before marriage, dad's memories soon drift back to the time when, as a naïve Wisconsin native and aspiring politician hoping to work on the presidential election, he first arrived in New York City. As Will gradually became savvy to the ways of the big city, he gradually developed romantic relationships with three very different women: Emily (Elizabeth Banks) was the girl-next-door that he could always depend on, apolitical April (Isla Fisher) was the best friend and confidante who was always there to listen, and free-spirited journalist Summer (Rachel Weisz) was both beautiful and ambitious. In order to prevent his perceptive little girl from predicting the outcome before his story is told, Will carefully changes the names of his three romantic interests, creating a hopelessly romantic puzzle that highlights both the joys and hardships of true love. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
