Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Captain Don Cragen says that Dr. Merritt belongs to the "Marquis" club, he is referring to the Marquis de Sade, who was a nobleman, politician, philosopher, and writer in 18th century France. De Sade was a "libertin." A libertine was considered devoid of moral and sexual restraints. Libertines did not believe in morals or the law. Libertinism is a extreme form of hedonism. Libertines believed that the pursuit of physical pleasure was the only worthwhile thing in life: they felt that they were entitled to do whatever they wanted, to whomever they wanted, whenever they wanted. De Sade's name is the basis for the term "sadist." He is best known for his extremely graphic and highly controversial pornographic novel "The 120 Days of Sodom." It tells the story of four wealthy male libertines who resolve to experience ultimate sexual gratification in orgies. To do this, they seal themselves away for four months in an inaccessible castle in the heart of the Black Forest with a group of 36 victims, mostly male and female teenagers that they abducted from local villages. They engage four female brothel keepers to tell the stories of their lives and adventures. The women's narratives serve as an inspiration for the sexual abuse and torture of the victims, which gradually mount in intensity and end in the victims' slaughter. Due to its extremely graphic content, the novel went unpublished for almost 200 years, and it is still banned in a number of countries. A film based on the book was made in the 1960's, but it wasn't released at the time because it was deemed "too shocking" to be published by the government of the country it was made in. It remained banned until the early 2000's.
- GoofsSince Miriam Gregg is not a registered nurse she is either a LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) or a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant), so she should not be filling syringes or preparing any type of medication. Only doctors, certified physician assistants (PA-C), nurse practitioners (NP), pharmacists and registered nurses can prepare medications (prepare meaning measuring dosage like when filling a syringe or an IV bag, or mixing a oral solution). A LPN can administer a intravenous medication if it has been prepared by a physician, PA-C, NP, pharmacist or a RN and can start IV's but they cannot prepare medication and can only administer it under supervision. A CNA cannot handle medications or start IV's under any circumstances.

Featured review
A gynecologist's jollies
One of the slimier perpetrators that Law And Order ever dealt with his Paul
Hecht playing a gynecologist who gets more than intimately acquainted with
his female patients. One of them confided to police consultant Dr. Elizabeth
Olivet who persuades her to make a report. When that doesn't get any action
Carolyn McCormick goes into Hecht's office and is given a paralytic drug and is
raped.
Still as someone who works for law enforcement she gets accused of entrapment. I kind of thought they were really being hypertechnical here. Hecht needs all the help he can get, good thing he has Danielle Melnyk working on his behalf. As Law And Order's number one feminist defense attorney her presence alone as Hecht's lawyer is a help.
Without telling the outcome you will see Michael Moriarty and Richard Brooks go an extra two miles to see justice done. And Carolyn McCormick has never been so vulnerable and so human.
