Lennie Briscoe says, "Love- a devastating disease instantly cured by marriage." This is a variation on Ambrose Bierce's definition in his book "The Devil's Dictionary," which described love as a temporary insanity that is curable either by marriage or a removal of the influence causing the distraction.

Unlike most numbers used on television, the Social Security Number displayed on the computer screen for Marcela (158-46-6532) was a real number issued to a male subject born in 1952 that passed away in 2004.

Raphael Celaya and Ana Carrazza [a.k.a. Marcela Celaya] were married on June 18, 1995.

Marcela Celaya was born on December 18, 1979.

This is, without doubt, my favorite Law & Order episode.

First, it's unique, in that instead of the usual 1/2 cop and 1/2 lawyer format, the cop side dominates. I guess half the cast wanted some time off. The lawyer side probably did all their work in one day, instead of the usual 5-6 days.

Second, because of it's unique format, it surprises you, and keep you on the edge of your seat, waiting to see the lawyer side of the show. But when they show up, even the legal question is really unique.

Third, while some the of the murders are simple to solve (very unusual for L&O), some are twisted, really twisted.

Lastly, it shows that 'one of those days' happens to cops as well as to the rest of us working schmucks.

The below is not a spoiler, just funny: Last lines in the show:

Detective Green: "We got a jumper."

Detective Briscoe: "I may join him."

No one will find an extraordinary incident nor will find a major twist of of events in this episode. However, the audience will witness a series of events that should have motivated the following title: "A Day's Work".

I lost count, but I'm sure Brisco and Green dealt with more homicides and a related birth in a 24hrs period. The good old murder motivated by emotion is quite present indeed, but the motives are as screwed as a large urban society like New York does to families: dysfunctional.

This episode was enjoyable for the series of events that the detectives had to simultaneously manage... or it was a way to dump unused story telling by the writers. Nevertheless, very entertaining.

I, like many, have watched numerous Law and Order episodes, but this is truly a standout. The writing and the actors excelled in this particular show due to the numerous odd, and at times, the humorous cases in this one. It was definitely a showcase for Briscoe's timing at one liners, but the Judge stole the show with her line, "You make me proud to be American." Watch it and see.

A runner was jogging on a park early in the morning. He suffered from a heart attack and he died shortly after. That's the beginning of four different stories:

1-A woman was shot dead near the jogger; she was a laborer who changed her name after running away from her former husband (Otto Sanchez); he had already spent ten years of jail time for her murder, so a double jeopardy could come up;

2-On their round Briscoe and Green noticed a crazy woman run over her cheating husband much to the mistress despair; in the questioning room, the perp quoted Schopenauer before Green;

3-At a gas station toilet, the detectives look a message in the mirror wrote by a kidnapped girl; she is eight months pregnant and her husband is the prime suspect.

4-Forensic chef figures out the runner was poisoned before the jogging by pure nicotine; he's gay and his lover may know something.

An unusual episode, a common day work for Briscoe and Green; lawyers made only a brief appearance, so it looks almost entirely a police drama. Now I understand why they don't have time to raise a family.
