When young war veteran Greg Tanner is found murdered in a Hudson University parking garage, Detectives Cyrus Lupo (Jeremy Sisto) and Kevin Bernard (Anthony Anderson) connect the murder to law professor Kevin Franklin (Guest Star David Alan Basche), an attorney who formerly worked for the Department of Justice. But when the case is brought to court, it seems Tanner (Guest Star Creighton James) may have been more affected by the war than his discharge stated. Lupo and Bernard find that the pieces start to fit when Franklin’'s memos from the Bush Administration are leaked. Also starring: S. Epatha Merkerson (Lieutenant Anita Van Buren), Sam Waterston (District Attorney Jack McCoy), Alana De La Garza (Connie Rubirosa), and Linus Roache (Michael Cutter).

A suicide prompts detectives to look at the victim's husband as a possible suspect in a series of racially motivated murders.

The investigation into the death of an adopted baby girl leads Detectives Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) and Curtis (Benjamin Bratt) to uncover secrets an adoptive family was desperately trying to hide. When the baby's brother turns out to be an abusive and disturbed young boy, Assistant District Attorney McCoy (Sam Waterston) and his new headstrong partner, Assistant District Attorney Abbie Carmichael, try to prove it was murder. They soon realize things don't always appear as they seem. S. Epatha Merkerson and Steven Hill also star.

Warren Slater is found dead by a street sweeper on Riverside Drive. He had told his wife he was working late but when he didn't come home she was extremely worried. After questioning a local homeless man, who the police later learn is innocent, they trace the victim's final hours. A stamp on his hand that says "Click" leads them to an art gallery which held a special exhibit the night of the murder. They talk to the artist Slater had been visiting, and she says she was working on a surprise video montage for his wife's 50th birthday party. She tells police when Slater left her he was headed towards Tenth Avenue to catch a cab. Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) and Green (Jesse L. Martin) talk to the people at Slater's office, The Fairhaven Group (an insurance company), and also question workers on Tenth Avenue, where he was last seen. One of the workers says they saw someone who could have been Slater arguing with a guy and then getting into a cable van.
