He was totally out of character in the opening scenes. It was like he never was a detective or went to law school. It's a bad plot when St. Olivia has to school an ADA in the merits of the law and what is legal and what is not. Carisi's character was looking like a big asshat.

I've never heard of invitations to funerals. You find out someone dies, you just go pay your respects. Though never by invitation.

It's his only way out. I'm betting she's a DOA next week. That said, this was the best episode of the season.

Didn't this guy play Stabler's younger brother on L&O Organized Crime?

I surely hope so, as I can do without this Ortiz character. ETA: Since she's such a great profiler, they should ship her to Criminal Minds. ETA #2: I was waiting for Isobel to call upon St. Olivia Benson when she mentioned the NYPD.

This is the first lesson fans learn in "TV Lawyering 101" Actually, it's the 2nd. The first is "never ask a question you don't know the answer to."

I called no suicide when they found the dead guy, but I thought it was the son who killed him. Lori Loughlin has not aged well.

Gabby Petito & Brian Laundrie Loosely copied from the Gabby Petito / Brian Laundrie case. St. Olivia's last scene at the hospital nearly made me vomit.

I've also been wondering about this. I can't figure out how or what the suspects could have done or not done that would have saved the daughter. Actually, this is the only reason I've decided to stick with the show because the weekly antics of Mattie and the lawyers are underwhelming.

Did anyone notice if the blue glass bunny's ear was broken off when he gave it to her, or did that happen on the way to her home? #1 When she received the bunny #2 When she showed it to her husband #3 She placed it on her coffee table:

Not only Erin was blindsided but the defense and the defendant were worse than blindsided. I'm not a lawyer, but I'm thinking that under the strictest definition of "perjury" that Henry did in fact commit perjury. He was testifying as an expert for the defense and went totally against what they were expecting. Jump in anyone with your thoughts on this.

It further states: Bad-faith bankruptcy While US bankruptcy law does not explicitly define bankruptcy "in bad faith", courts have routinely applied certain standards, and creditors can bring motions to dismiss bankruptcies for bad faith. Types of bad-faith bankruptcies include those in which a new company is created for the purpose of filing bankruptcy, and when a company uses bankruptcy for an improper purpose, such as reducing debts that it would be able to pay outside of bankruptcy.[1] When a court rules that a bankruptcy was filed in bad faith and dismisses it, the company loses the protections of bankruptcy and cannot discharge its liabilities.[1] Texas two-step proponents, like Johnson & Johnson and its lawyers, have argued that Texas two-steps are not inherently bad-faith, and that in the context of mass-tort litigation bankruptcy is fairest way to address large numbers of personal injury claims. Unlike in traditional courts hearing cases brought by many different people, bankruptcies must treat all similar claimants similarly. In Johnson & Johnson's Texas two-step, bankruptcy judge Michael Kaplan ruled that handling complex litigation brought by many different plaintiffs was a legitimate use of bankruptcy.[4][14] Many of those plaintiffs disagreed and argued that Johnson & Johnson's goal was to protect itself from having to pay plaintiffs for the injuries it caused,[2] and together with the US government appealed the ruling to the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals.[4][14] The 3rd Circuit overturned the bankruptcy court's decision and ruled that LTL Management LLC's bankruptcy should be dismissed on the grounds that it was not filed in good faith, because LTL's funding agreement with Johnson & Johnson meant that LTL was never in financial distress.[9][10]

IMHO, I don't think it is possible for a law firm to go bankrupt in the manner set forth in this episode. Bankruptcy is not a rubber stamp process. It involves the Courts, the government, filings, documentation, etc. and depending on the size of the firm it could take months, or even years for it to be finalized.

Wouldn't it be great if everyone's computer and search engine could work as well and as fast as JOC's. And the operator's never encounter a typo.

Wow! Nina's dad is some piece of work.

Yes, and yes.

Sounds like a Natalie Holloway redux.

We all may be overthinking this, and it might be of minimal importance.

There's no way that could happen. The computer's internals were destroyed when she purposely spilled the coffee on it, and who knows how it was even setup before the spillage. The IT person said it was fried, so there would be no way to remotely communicate with it.

I don't know what the issue of the father's quote on the "stolen" laptop means, but Olympia used the exact same quote when she was giving the pep talk regarding the trial. This is what the subtitles displayed at approximately the 27 minute mark of the episode. Olympia speaking said: 00:27:08,131 --> 00:27:11,334 “And tomorrow don't just give 'em hell, give them the damn heavens, limbo, and everything in between. Because Alex deserves a win.” The exact quote [without the Alex reference] that Matty and the kid heard from the laptop file.

Clunker is too lenient, this was a total abomination. Since when does an ADA (Carisi) become a tag along to a police investigation and participate in a dumpster dive to find evidence.

What's up with Remy taking a fruit cup from the mother's refrigerator?

Yes, I watched it. So now instead of "ripped from the headlines" we have "ripped from another Dick Wolf franchise.

It's probably because Stabler is on the sidelines for a while. They need St.Olivia to be front and center with whoever is available who is not a regular on the show. Next, we'll see Hank Voight shipping in from Chicago.

" This case should have been investigated by the FBI.
