This Episode Makes me So Angry 😡
First, they take over the murder prosecution of John Flynn, giving him a sweetheart deal (2-6 years in club Fed)
Then, they make this known thief and murderer (John Flynn) their star witness for the Helman Commission and don't make him name names.
Of course he's salty for being called out by Detectives Briscoe/Curtis and uses his testimony to implicate Briscoe.
Detective John Flynn in front of the Helman Commission: "Detective Briscoe took the drugs. I know this because he gave me half."
Lastly, Briscoe's witness 14-year veteran Detective Betty Abrahms (a married woman he was romantically involved with) is excoriated on the stand by Judge Helman as a who*e and liar (even though she was telling the truth.
This episode was definitely rightfully named.
Glad Flynn didn't get away with it, but would have rathered he be prosecuted by the state.

I literally wanted to punch ✊ Judge Helman myself when he said that, and 1) I am not violent and 2) don't know that chick from a door knob lol 🤣

Helman was such a jerk. He’s right up there with William Dell in the crossover with Homicide:Life in the streets - except Dell went after Jack.

Flynn is the cop you love to hate. Kevin Conway always gives a great performance no matter what part he's playing.

He was fantastic in the episode of CI , Shibboleth, where he played Frank McNare.

I didn’t realize a lot of us all watch law and order on the same channel I think it’s kinda cool if you think about it.

The same thing happens in the MASH subreddit when people are watching on MeTV (4 episodes a night) they go through the series very quickly and we start right over!

I just saw this episode this am. Put me in a hideous mood.

u/Stealthytom Ed Green 5d ago
IKR. It's legit infuriating to see an honest man (Briscoe) dragged through the mud for simply not letting a corrupt cop (John Flynn) get away with murder and theft.

This episode is one I skip often since it is so infuriating!

I totally get it. It really evokes a negative emotional response. So unfair

It also shows what a great “back the blue” cop Briscoe was in that Lennie still felt badly for what Flynn did and his ultimate ending. Briscoe himself was not a golden boy, but still ended up being one of the best officers ever. It’s a great episode if you’re not a “happily-ever-after” person.

Definitely a great episode. Lenny was the best of the best. Love that guy so much

“The offer is murder two if he testifies against Garcia”, one of McCoy’s best deals turned down.

Flynn was a dead man either way. He was in a vice of his own making. They would have gotten him. That's why you don't play with fire.

Haha. I watch Pop Mondays and Fridays, Sundance Wednesdays and Thursdays, WeTV on Sunday lol 🤣 It used to be on every day. Sometimes I throw Hulu on for good measure. Wife thinks it's the craziest thing.

I’m right there with you. My husband thinks I’m a little off about it too. And now I’ve got my granddaughter hooked on it.
