3. Did you see "Crossing Jordan" after that?

Also "Ripped from the headlines."

A wildfire in Massachusetts. An incompetent state Emergency Management official with no experience who screws up the response.

And of course, both followed the West Wing.

5. Wonder if you can fill me in? I missed part of it.
How did the victim's sexy outfit and brief scene in the hotel room in the beginning tie in to the story; did it tie into her being a secret service agent?

6. They didn't really play that part out too well. It just seems like she was
having a good old fashioned affair, but they never really tied it up. She told everyone she was meeting a female informant, but then we saw her with a guy, and she was taking off and putting on her wedding ring.

7. I usually watch Desperate Housewives
But it was a repeat and I love Chris Noth, so I watched the program for the first time. It was very good! I like Noth so much better in the main role than I do that other guy that also stars.

Since Desperate Housewives was a repeat, I was especially glad that Law and Order was so hard hitting.

10. Lobbyist and Congressman both arrested and handcuffed.
The lobbyist was working for both sides in the gambling casino battle,the Congressman too.
