Personal reflections
21 May 2019
Nearly the whole cast of Law And Order regulars go up to witness an execution which in real life never took place because New York hasn't executed anyone for almost half a century now. Still the law went into place after George Pataki's election and in this story all the regulars have some personal reflections.

We see Jerry Orbach interact with both of his daughters and it's not all nostalgic. Neither is it with Sam Waterston at a cop bar talking about his father on the Chicago PD. Dad McCoy wasn't father of the year.

The occasionally self righteous Benjamin Bratt spends some time with a woman not his wife, innocently enough. And we see Jill Hennessy and we learn her father is a law school professor.

The show marks the demise of one regular and the near demise of another. We learn a lot about the lives of our cops and lawyers in this exceptionally well acted story.
