The fiancée of assistant district attorney Ed Danvers (Zeljko Ivanek) is shot and killed while shopping for her wedding ensemble. Already unnerved by the killing, and by his own self-doubts regarding his opposition to the death penalty, Danvers is none too happy that his perennial nemesis Pembleton (Andre Braugher) has been assigned to investigate the murder. Elsewhere, Kellerman (Reed Diamond) receives some disheartening news just before he is to testify before the federal grand jury; and while trying to help Kellerman defend himself against corruption charges, Giardello (Yaphet Kotto) learns the real reason that he was not promoted to captain.
