John F. O'Donohue

Detective Kelly (David Caruso) risks his career and life by testifying on behalf of Detective Licalsi (Amy Brenneman) in her double homicide trial.

The detectives follow a string of mysterious homicides; a woman runs over her unfaithful husband; a murdered woman has an uncertain relationship to her brothers.

Theo is causing problems for Sipowicz, who turns to his ex-wife for advice. When a man's mutilated body is found in a hotel, Sipowicz, Sorenson and Medavoy have to visit a gay bar to search for a suspect.

Sipowicz and Sorenson stay out of the squad room in order to avoid the new lieutenant. While supposedly researching an old case, they discover the body of a young girl, burnt beyond recognition.

A jogger who was gunned down in a park manages to contact his wife via his cell phone before he passes. His wife tells Ortiz about her husband's partner and their business dealings.

Sipowicz reaches out to an ex-cop whose daughter was murdered, while Lt. Rodriguez intervenes when detectives from another squad try to take over the investigation.
