Quotes[]

.: .
Ed Green (handing Peter Williams the search warrant) Now we have a search warrant. Do you mind if we look around?: .
Peter Williams (letting Briscoe, Green, and other officers in after reading the warrant) Not at all.: .
Peter Williams (after Briscoe and Green shove him to the kitchen counter): Hey!
Ed Green (slapping the warrant on the counter): Oh yeah, I forgot we also have an arrest warrant.

Abbie Carmichael (about Laura Kendrick): Abused or not, she was there. It's her own sister, for God's sake. We can't let her off the hook.

Laura Kendrick (at the crime scene, right after describing her sister's death): Were you guys here when the police searched this place?
Ed Green: Yeah, why?
Laura Kendrick: Peter gave me this really pretty pair of garnet earrings. They matched this bracelet. I think I left them here. Did you guys find them? I'd really like to get those back.

Jack McCoy: Did Peter Williams kill them?

Adam Schiff (speaking to Dr. Emil Skoda): Do you ever give a straight answer? Might as well consult a phrenologist. Bottom line it.

Adam Schiff (speaking to Jack McCoy): Then, stick to the deal, no matter how much it turns your stomach...and mine.

Abbie Carmichael: How do you wash it off, Jack?
Jack McCoy: Wish I knew.

Background information and notes[]

  • Detectives Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) and Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) crossover from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit for the second episode in a row, after making their first appearances on Law & Order in the previous episode "Entitled (L&O)".
  • This is the first ever crossover episode of Law & Order that does not feature John Munch after he appeared in the previous episode and all the previous crossover episodes with Homicide: Life on the Street.
  • Peter Williams has books in his apartment about real-life serial killers Ted Bundy, Richard Speck and the Boston Strangler. Like Williams, these killers targeted women.
  • Continuity: When Laura Kendrick is recorded asking about her bracelet, the video played later is an alternative take.
  • Goof: Vince Pacimeo is credited as "Judge Douglas Venturelli" in this episode but in the season 13 episode "The Ring", his first name is given as "David" by an episode scene card.
