DETECTIVES CYRUS LUPO (JEREMY SISTO) AND KEVIN BERNARD (ANTHONY ANDERSON) INVESTIGATE THE MURDER OF AN ENVIRONMENTALIST'S WIFE. NED BEATTY AND SHERRY STRINGFIELD GUEST STAR.
Detective Lupo (Jeremy Sisto) and Detective Bernard (Anthony Anderson) are called to a crime scene where Nancy Hartwig (guest star Leah Curney) has been found murdered. They find out her husband insisted the family live environmentally friendly to avoid leaving a heavy carbon footprint. However, Nancy's support of her husband is soon called into question when the detectives discover that she used her car to chauffeur her sister and had drinks at a bar one evening, which her husband wouldn't allow. The victim's missing car turns up with a dead passenger and drugs inside, sending the case in a completely different direction that leaves the detectives scrambling to piece everything together. During the trial, ADA Michael Cutter (Linus Roache) also begins to suspect an old friend, Judge Reynolds' (guest star Ned Beatty) clerk Carly (guest star Sherry Stringfield), and even the judge himself of obstructing justice, creating even more turmoil in the case. Also starring: Sam Waterston, S. Epatha Merkerson and Alana De La Garza.

Show Cast: S. Epatha Merkerson, Sam Waterston, Alana De La Garza, Jeremy Sisto, Linus Roache, Anthony Anderson

okay, so when I first read about this episode, I (dare I say it) thought it would suck, but the whole judge thing was great... and when the judge couldn't even remember Jack after calling him Jack and after a million encounters with Mike, he still couldn't remember his name... You know I met someone with dementia once and it was a lot like that... it's very sad, perhaps, even worse than alzheimers.

When the judge Cutter appealed to took up for the great and wonderful judge and then it all came down on Cutter... he seemed so beautifully vulnerable and Jack's response was priceless as always.

Jack got Carly good, though... a great moment!

another brillant episode of L&O!

As a long-time fan of ER, I have to say that Sherry Stringfield (who played Carly in this episode and Dr. Susan Lewis on ER) looked great!

I enjoyed the episode itself, and I believe this season has been consistently good! I think I am even preferring Law and Order over SVU this season.

The TV guide wasn't kidding. Beatty was a heart-breaker.

Stringfield is still looking fine.

I completely agree about L&O being better this season than SVU. Also, Ned Beatty was so great in this episode. Nice to see an older actor still on top of his game.
