Ed green and lennie briscoe was a very sweet partnership, a lot of mutual respect and kindness, and I always thought it was cool that the actors are two Broadway greats….

[@BillinHungary]

This was the season finale of Season 14. At the end of the episode, Briscoe is retiring, and on the way out of the office, he says "It's nice to go out on a win". His retirement was linked to Jerry Orbach succumbing to a decade-long battle with prostate cancer - he passed away in December 2004, the same year as the end of Season 14. He was a trooper and the consummate actor right until the end. RIP Jerry Orbach.

The prosecution doesn't take bad news well. Whenever the lab tech tells them the evidence doesn't match or too tainted for results, they always ask, "Are you sure?" or"How positive are you?" Come on D.A.'s office. You can't always expect good news from the police lab.

That's what made this episode so bittersweet was Lennie's retirement - behind the scenes Jerry Orbach was going to star in the spinoff L&O Trial by Jury which was supposed to be less taxing to film - an important consideration since he had been battling prostate cancer. They didn't disclose his illness until a few weeks before his passing; sadly, he was only able to tape the 1st two episodes of L&O Trial by Jury before his death. At the end of the second episode of that series, you could barely hear his voice. ;( RIP, Jerry!
