Plot
In this episode, Detectives Logan and Wheeler reinvestigate a cold case when a Catholic priest, Father Shea, who was friends with Logan's former partner Lennie Briscoe, comes to Logan for help; he says that a dead man to whom he gave last rites confessed to having murdered three people 16 years earlier in the South Bronx.
Meanwhile, Wheeler and her fiance attend a fundraiser, and a photographer secretly begins photographing them. Soon back on the case, Logan and Wheeler research Randy Nichols, who was convicted of the murder of a rich CFO and his pregnant wife. The detectives discover that Logan's nemesis, ADA Terri Driver, is involved. Later, when the priest becomes a victim of a near fatal stabbing at the penitentiary where he was working, he is put in critical condition and is not expected to live, at which time the case becomes personal to Logan, who is convinced Driver ordered the hit.

“James’s great gift, of course, was his ability to tell a plot in shimmering detail with such delicacy of treatment and such fine aloofness—that is, reluctance to engage in any direct grappling with what, in the play or story, had actually “taken place”Mthat his listeners often did not, in the end, know what had, to put it in another way, “gone on.””
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
“Morality for the novelist is expressed not so much in the choice of subject matter as in the plot of the narrative, which is perhaps why in our morally bewildered time novelists have often been timid about plot.”
—Jane Rule (b. 1931)
