Law & Order House Calls (1990–2010) Online

This is one of my favorites for a couple of reasons. It's one of many where L&O gets things wrong for most of the episode. But my favorite scene, and one of the best ever, was when the Doctor was on the stand talking about how and why the victim died and the defendant's lawyer said something about the medical prognosis and the witness asked something like "and what medical school did you graduate from" and the defendant's lawyer responded with "Harvard, and I'm asking the questions here". Absolutely one of the best scenes ever! And after the sister's testimony I'm surprised it even went to the jury. Too many times Jack and company go for the jugular for wrong reasons. And personally I miss Jamie Ross.

A young teen with a bright career ahead of her as a fashion model dies of cardiac arrest at a department store fitting room. We're not even sure this is a homicide, but Jerry Orbach and Jesse Martin investigate and the trail leads to a Dr. Feel Good type played by Jonathan Hogan. He's got an all purpose cure all for what ails you, a little narcotic pain medication.

The problem is that the victim was taking asthma medication at the same time and the issue for trial is recklessness on the doctor's part, if there was and how much.

Alexis Dziena plays the younger sister of the victim and the only English speaker in her Russian household. That in itself is the key to what happens at trial.

And believe me what happens catches everyone off balance.

Both Dziena and Hogan give fine performances here and the surprise ending is original.

A classic with Lennie Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) and Ed Green (Jesse L. Martin), and the best A.D.A. they ever had on the show, Serena Southerlyn (Elisabeth Röhm).

Alexis Dziena (Broken Flowers, Stone Cold) was magnificent as the sister to a dead model.

Jonathan Hogan, who has been on "Law & Order" four times, and is probably the only guest to be on all four of the "Law & Order" series (Trial by Jury, Criminal Intent, Special Victims Unit) was the doctor they pursued for the models killing. he was represented by another favorite, Michael Boatman ("Spin City", "Arli$$").

Jack loses this one due to an unforeseen twist at the end.

Two sales clerks in an outfit store watched on CCTV a charming shoplifter stealing some dress. They followed her in the fitting room where she died of heart attack. Detectives found a syringe in her purse, the one used to inject painkillers. She was a wannabe model but she wasn't fluent in English (due to her Russian origin) as well as her family, except her younger sister (Alexis Dziena) who attends the local school. She had broken ribs and detectives thought at first she could have been abused by a boyfriend or someone inside the family. Anyway, in order to pursue her modeling career, she needed medicine for easing her pain (she suffered from a sever headache) at the point she became addicted to that. A doctor who advertise his activity in fliers without any clinic was actually her pusher. She even suffered from asthma and the painkiller is a killing mix together with asthma pills: did the "doctor" really know about that?

In this episode we see several poor immigrants situations (even a poor porter who need money for his son tuition). What happen at trial is not very clear (regarding the behavior of the prime witness on the stand: is she lying?)
