A TEENAGER AND YOUNG GIRL ARE FOUND DEAD NEAR A NEIGHBORHOOD PLAYGROUND AROUSING RACIALLY CHARGED ISSUES IN THE COMMUNITY:ALLY WALKER GUEST STARS - When a Caucasian teenage boy and young African American girl are found dead near a neighborhood playground, Detectives Cyrus Lupo (Jeremy Sisto) and Ed Green (Jesse L. Martin) have trouble getting witnesses to talk after realizing the boy was targeted and the girl was killed accidentally. Two brothers and friends of the murdered boy, Andy (guest star Jeremy Allen White) and Josh Steel (guest star Miles Chandler), lead the detectives to a local kid Will Manning (guest star Tristan Wilds). Ultimately, it’s Will’s father Ray Manning (guest star Kevin Carroll) who admits to being the shooter. Ray’s defense is that he feared for his son’s life when he saw three boys chasing Will with baseball bats. This new information leads the detectives to suspect the Steel brothers and their overly aggressive mother, Gretchen (guest star Ally Walker). With racial tensions high in the community, the DA’s office must decide how to charge and prosecute the case. Also starring: Sam Waterston, S. Epatha Merkerson, Linus Roache, and Alana De La Garza.

Not a bad episode. Nice to see Jack and Anita hang out now that he's the DA, too. Also, Mike and Connie's reaction to the sentencing recommendation was priceless.

I do think it was unlittle unfair that no one was convicted with regard to the young man (David, I believe). Still, everyone seemed to be satisfied.

Good performances and decent story, especially Sam's McCoy. I think he's really distinguishing himself from other DAs.

I thought I heard an error in last night's repeated Driven episode, when the detectives are talking with the 2 men in the park, concerning Earl the Pearl Monroe playing for the Knicks in 1969. The Pearl didn't play for the Knicks until early on in the 1971 season. Either the screenwriter didn't know the facts or the actor was showcasing some Alzheimer's behavior.

I thought they were talking about him playing in the '69 Bullets/Knicks games? Not necessarily for the Knicks. (Which would be good, since he was a Bullet at the time.)

Thought this was an excellent episode. Further proof (IMHO anyway) that Wolf et al has the magic touch again.
