The focus of the case returns to a politically influential family and, during the course of the trial, McCoy finds the powerful matriarch to be a formidable opponent.
In this crossover episode with its spin-off Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, the opening scene features both Capt. Donald Cragen and his successor at the 27 Precinct, Lt. Anita Van Buren, on camera together.
(After arresting a politically powerful family matriarch) Lennie Briscoe: I can't believe we're doing this.
Jack McCoy: Our case against Iacone has an out of state perjury conviction, they're moving to preclude his testimony. Adam Schiff: (with a sarcastic chuckle) Glad I stopped by. (He closes the door and exits.)
Jack McCoy: The Mulroney legacy lives on ... at least until the next catastrophe. Adam Schiff: It's the catastrophes that keep it going.
This episode ties together many of the leftover threads in the 1994 episode "Mayhem."
The introduction for this episode aired as the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit first season episode "Entitled Pt. 1". Law & Order aired at a special time (Friday at 10:00 PM) so that the two episodes were aired back-to-back.
