This episode was truly ripped from the Nineties headlines as the general public finally learned what a lot of us knew as an open secret, that the Catholic church had pedophile priests and they got transferred around the country like a clerical shell game to avoid the law. When your organization for a millennium has been the cover for gay men and self loathing ones at that, this kind of thing was inevitable.
For Chris Noth this is bringing back bad memories. A fellow cop is found shot dead in Central Park. He was with sex crimes and he's a former childhood friend of Noth's and back in the day he and Noth were abused by a priest who has left the church, played by Bill Raymond. He went the usual route of being transferred to a different parish. Now he's married with kids of his own.
It takes a bit of legal legerdemain from Sam Waterston and Jill Hennessy to get Raymond into court on charges that will stick. That thing called the Statute of Limitations you know.
Noth takes center stage in this Law And Order episode. He's revealed quite a bit about himself in his various stints with the franchise. He was never more revealing than in this story.
