The Cold Case Episodes are 🔥
I LOVE when the crew tackles cold cases! I love it when the episode starts with one case and the story unravels into an even deeper unsolved murder. My favorites are
Bedtime (s.11 ep. 18)- so many twists and turns until the very end. I never would've suspected the retired cop helping them all along was one of Cal Cutler's sidepieces. All the 70s alumni actresses fit the story and were great too.
Persona (s.10 ep. 8)- what started off as the typical Domestic Violence episode ended with one of the most memorable stories on the show. Linnie living with Mia felt symbolic to me that Linnie couldn't run from her past no matter what. I sympathize with Linnie, she escaped from going to prison but had to spend 35 years living in fear and isolation to avoid being caught. In a great twist Judge Donnelly (one of my favs) is linked to the old case and ties into the story. The ending is bittersweet as Linnie gets acquitted but loses her husband who she spent their whole marriage lying to.
Ballerina (s.10 ep. 16)- one of the best Law and Order episodes period. Carol Burnett and Matthew Lillard go way outside their normal range and gave us 2 of the craziest characters we've seen. Birdie was a twisted but loveable black widow. I feel like she would've never been happy with most of her husband's as she really wanted the surrogate husband she raised, her own nephew! Chet never felt love from his birth mother so he sought that feminine connection from Birdie but it manifested into something wayy different.
These are just a few, but there were plenty more. We're going to ignore the character assassination of Dana Lewis tho😂😂. What is your favorite cold case episode?
