A man and his young mistress are shot to death during a rendezvous at his apartment. The man was a frisky forty something in an extended mid life crisis.
Suspicion first falls on David Lansbury who was the former boyfriend of the mistress. But later Paul Sorvino convinces partner Chris Noth and Captain Dan Florek that maybe it wasn't Lansbury. The two start looking in the direction of the estranged wife Shirley Knight and their son Geoffrey Nauffts.
Does that famous unwritten law an acquittal for one partner if he catches someone bedding the wife uphold for the woman? Shirley Knight is certainly banking on it and she's a bit frowzy and frayed around the edges, but that could make a jury sympathetic. Nauffts also keeps dropping more bits and pieces to the police and the DA and that makes Michael Moriarty having to switch trial strategies.
I did feel a bit of sympathy for Knight myself. How will you feel when watching this interesting episode?
