An apparent suicide turns out to be murder as Briscoe and Curtis investigate the death of a woman who jumped from a bridge (in front of numerous bystanders) to avoid a crazed attacker with whom she was apparently involved in a fender-bender. When they are unable to convict, McCoy and Ross dig deeper and discover that the 'accident' might not have been so accidental after all. Meanwhile, Detective Curtis (Benjamin Bratt) is tossed out of his house after admitting to his wife that he had an affair.

Michelle agrees to defend Ben's pal, framed for murder, until she learns her old law-school friend is also suspect.

When a wealthy middle-aged woman is found drugged and comatose, Detectives Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) and Green (Jesse L. Martin) suspect that her husband (guest star David Dukes) either tried to commit a mercy killing or murder her for her money, but the discovery of a shocking tape swerves their investigation in a new direction. Later, new evidence could implicate another close family member and informs Assistant D.A.s McCoy (Sam Waterston) and Carmichael (Angie Harmon) of the victim's true condition and prognosis. Steven Hill and S. Epatha Merkerson also star.

Epatha Merkerson and Steven Hill also star.
