What an episode. The suspect was a master manipulator with no shortage of ways to work the system. Unlike the season opener which highlighted the DA's office... this episode was all about the Law and gave us some rare insights into the personal lives of our detectives- Lupo looking for love in all the wrong places, Bernard losing his cool, and the Lieutenant struggling to maintain her professional life while coping with some painful personal issues- S. Epetha Merkerson should get another emmy nom.
Unlike other shows which become 'soap operatic'- L&O is using dignity and discretion in its exploration of the touchy issues of cancer and infidelity. Good villain, good character development- memorable episode.moreless
