Jessica (Angela Lansbury), hospitalized with a fractured leg, investigates the murder of a fellow patient. Stephen Elliott, Martha Raye and Eddie Bracken guest star.

The fatal, broad-daylight shooting of two ad agency employees in a Manhattan parking lot intrigues Logan and Cerreta. The murders appear to be professional hits, but for what reason? After they trace the crime to Canada, prosecutors are stymied by new developments during trial. Plus, ADA Stone "persuades" a confession out of a defendant -- to spite an old nemesis, who happens to be the defense attorney.

The detectives uncover a black-market baby racket; J.C. dates a beautiful book editor (Naomi Campbell).

Jaime seeks to befriend the withdrawn daughter of a corrupt veteran of the Vietnam War, but the girl, who has not spoken since her mother's death, does not respond. Sam Groom guest stars.

A fast-rising civil court judge (guest star Lindsay Crouse) is carjacked and gunned down in her garage, but as Detectives Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) and Green (Jesse L. Martin) begin to connect the dots, they consider the crime to be a botched murder-for-hire scheme -- and the primary suspect is her architect husband (guest star John Heard). While the suffering victim lingers near death and asks to be allowed to die without any more medical assistance, she steadfastly maintains her husband's innocence and threatens to testify on his behalf, which would ruin D.A. McCoy's (Sam Waterston) case. Angie Harmon, S. Epatha Merkerson and Steven Hill also star.
