Celibacy is a tough road to hoe even especially for those priests that are straight. That's what Neal McDonough finds out. Actually it's even for me somewhat refreshing that not all the Catholic priests are gay.
McDonough who's something of a star in the Catholic hierarchy is a monsignor whose good works are legendary. Among other things he's in charge of reparations to victims of abuse. The murder victim is Elle Monte-Brown who was a faithful Catholic who was in charge of an escrow account for proved cases of abuse.
The problem is that the murder really does look like suicide and Vincent D'Onofrio is having one hard time convincing his new boss Jay O. Sanders that it was murder. Monte-Brown was a strict Catholic and the fact that on her first glance it looks like suicide and there's a suicide note on her computer is giving Sanders thoughts that something overcame the religion and she abandoned that strict anti-suicide tenet of the church.
Detective Goren finally gets to see a shrink in this one and the D'Onofrio episodes in the final season will contain a lot of scenes with the psychiatrist. I disagree however that everyone was shying away from him as a patient. I would think they'd be lining up to see what makes him tick.
