Boy, the last two weeks of this sixth season of Law and Order: Criminal Intent were not kind to the male leads. Last week, "Det. Robert Goren" (Vincent D'Onofrio) has his mother die and this week "Det. Mike Logan," smitten with a nice lady who lives in his apartment building finds her dead on the night of his second date, an apparent suicide victim. Not happy days for these two guys.
The main story in this one, however, is not "Holly Lauren/Kathy Shaw" (Kelli Williams), Mike's hopeful new love interest, but a young woman who turns cop-killer and has been missing for over five years, pulling scam after scam. When her latest boyfriend, a police recruit and a local hero, figures out she's not a nice girl, he winds up shot to death. "Logan" and partner "Det. Megan Wheeler" (Julianne Nicholson), with an assist from "Det. Alexandra Eames" (Kathyrn Erbe), track down this missing woman, "Belle Duffy," played chillingly by Brooke Tarsley.
Overall, it was an interesting episode but I'm sorry to see these shows end on a such depressing notes. Hopefully, both "Goren" and "Logan" will be back and have more upbeat things happen to them in their personal lives during the seventh season.
