When Briscoe and Curtis discover that a high-level federal official found murdered in Battery Park was recently transferred from Baltimore, they team up with Baltimore homicide detectives. The joint investigation reveals that the victim was involved in a love affair with another high-level government official, whose career will be destroyed if the relationship becomes public. The independent counsel summons McCoy and his Baltimore counterpart, Ed Danvers, to Washington and demands that McCoy reveal his source or be jailed for contempt. Briscoe and Curtis apprehend the suspect, but the F.B.I. claims jurisdiction and the suspect evades trial, if not justice.moreless

      • It is revealed that Jack McCoy was involved in a love affair with Claire Kincaid, the assistant district attorney who was killed in the episode Aftershock. Several months after this episode originally aired in September 1999, it was reported that Jill Hennessy (who played Claire from 1993-'96) was actually in negotiations to reprise Claire, which led to widespread speculation on how Claire could be realistically brought back. That didn't end up happening.

      • This episode served as part one of the third and final crossover with the Homicide: Life on the Street episode Sideshow (2).

      • Richard Belzer reprised the character of John Munch as a series regular on the spin-off series Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

    • ALLUSIONS (2)

      ADD ALLUSIONS

      • John Munch: (to Briscoe) The cone of silence is falling on us. The Cone of Silence was a prop device on the '60s spy sitcom Get Smart. It was a plastic shield that descended from the ceiling to provide an environment for conversation free from eavesdropping. The joke was that the cone of silence always malfunctioned, usually moving up and down, forcing the conversants to bob up and down in time with its oscillations.

      • This episode appears to be ripped from the headlines of the the presidential sex scandal involving Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton and investigated by Special Prosecutor Kenneth Starr.
