Episode Summary

EDIT

AIRED: 12/8/06

After corporate attorney Charles Dillon is discovered dead in a hotel room, Green and Cassady investigate and learn that the company he was working for is in the process of being indicted. Their investigation leads them to a high-priced callgirl, Julia Veloso, who turns out to have been romantically involved with the company's C.E.O., Samantha Weaver. McCoy and Rubirosa find themselves at odds as Rubirosa wonders if McCoy's prosecution of Weaver has more to do with her gender than her guilt.moreless

Good Characters Help Familiar Story.

9.0

By bluejayfusion, Oct 15, 2010

The CEO character is truly what made this episode memorable. Her headstrong attitude and callous demeanor allowed the audience to dislike her while still never really being sure of her guilt. I still have no idea who was the true culprit- the defendent or her girlfriend? Nor do McCoy and Rubirosa. As great as it is having knowledge outside the realm of the characters' reality, being in the dark with them (in their dillemma) is also an affective way of engaging the viewer. Not all cases are cut and dry and sometimes when Jack is so sure of himself it just isn't realistic. Having the DA's office make morally ambiguous decisions in the pursuit of justice emphasizes the unfortunate truth- not even the good guys can be right 100% of the time.moreless

Not as bad episode but predictable

I don't see the new ADA lasting too long on this show. They really don't seem to know what to do with her character. Is she nice and tough or is she a push over? McCoy keeps pushing her out of his way. Branch is interesting and I wish he got more screen time.

ADD ALLUSIONS
- Arthur Branch: Interesting fodder for Page Six, but what about for our trial?
  
  Page Six is the gossip column in the New York Post. They enjoy reporting on rumors and scandals among celebrities and prominent New Yorkers.
  EDIT SHARE
- Connie Rubirosa: Who knows? Maybe they were in love. (Arthur Branch and Jack McCoy look at her) It's possible.
  Arthur Branch: Yeah, I saw Pretty Woman too, Connie.
  
  In the movie Pretty Woman, Julia Roberts plays a prostitute who meets a wealthy businessman (Richard Gere). He hires her to be his escort for some social functions and tries to disguise her as a cultured, distinguished woman. In the process, he falls in love with her.
  EDIT SHARE
- Jack McCoy: (of Samantha Weaver) She doth protest a little too much.
  
  This is a variation of the oft-quoted line from act 3, scene 2 of William Shakespeare's Hamlet, spoken by Queen Gertrude as she watches a play written by her son where the lady in question is actually representing herself. The line doesn't actually mean that the female is speaking against, merely that she's speaking in excess. The actual line is, "The lady doth protest too much, methinks."
