I like that the Lt steps up to tell the mother, her friend. Not easy.

[@princecharon]

Yeah. There's no good way to hear something like that, but it's less bad to hear it from someone you know cares, I think.

[@joemckim1183]

@@princecharon Definitely better to hear it from someone you know and not a stranger.

[@ginacleveland7995]

And that was a good scene, too. Wished they'd let it play a little longer

[@bardgold4553]

Yeah but the worst thing is that you know the police try harder when it's someone they know or important. If you're a nobody, good luck. Nobody cares.

[@murphybrown1366]

It’s very easy…..since it’s just a tv show……

[@reelmermaid8844]

Beautiful acting from the actress portraying the Lt'. Subtle, nuanced anguish and sorrow. Superbly done.

[@lawrencemoore3863]

That was amazing

[@billcox8870]

She played a mother of a child in one of the early episodes of law & order.

One of the things so many actors flub, Merkerson absolutely nailed it.

[@potsmokindino]

You should have seen her performance in Terminator 2. 🤌🏼🤌🏼

[@ronaldr.236]

This series, specifically, including the SVU spinoff, always manage to cast amazing actors, even those no-name ones that seem to just walk into the role.

[@robertaferugheli4957]

Merkerson is a great actress. There are many great actresses; not just Meryl Streep.

[@lea-analowery4585]

Agreed, Sally Field, Susan Sarandon, Sarah Paulson (they all have names starting with ‘S’ lol including Streep and S. Epatha)

[@michaelfawcett2816]

Not only did she play Lt. Van Buren but she also played Sharon Goodwin on Chicago Med.

[@IllidariShizen]

She's 71 now and STILL fabulous.

[@miket2120]

Some very subtle things happen when Van Buren gets the file. When the detectives walk in, the background office noises are clear and distinct, with lots of higher pitch sounds. As Van Buren opens the file and starts reading it, the outer office sounds become slightly muted, allowing the sounds of her hands on the file to become evident. Just as she speaks, the sounds become even more muted, then rising again when she stops speaking. "She's the daughter" Van Buren sheds a little tear, silently speaking volumes.

[@TheLadyKatt]

That soft “… Lu?” Gets me every time.

[@kendallrivers1119]

Lt. Anita Van Buren, Chief Bill Gillespie, Captains Frank Furillo & Donald Cragen and Lt. Al "Gee" Giadello are the best tv cop bosses ever! Every single one are the types of tough but fair, badass paternal figures we all wish we could work for. They were extremely loyal to the men and women under their command no matter what.

[@Bergen98]

Glad people mention Gee somewhere - Homicide is an amazing show and I wish more people watched it

[@TheBatugan77]

Lt. Fancy, (James McDaniel) who had also been a perp in L&O.

I loved S. Epatha Merkerson on this show. She brought so much to Lt. Van Buren.

1:01 When you said you were gonna kill her, looks like she did it herself for you man. 😮

[@rabbitsfoot8]

This episode like most was disturbing..ex threw acid in her face which cause her to go into depression as I remember. Might have been worth some jail time if I was her father and I caught the guy that did that

[@Deborahtunes]

👍Any father worth their weight would do just about anything to defend their children with such horrific injuries done to them...

[@discover854]

@@Deborahtunes Some states, you can walk if you called for trial by jury. Most people would feel empathy under certain conditions. I believe the father that attacked the coach who spent years assaulting girls gymnastic team walked because of this. The other I remembered was in Texas where the father waited at the airport and executed the guy who kidnapped and raped his son.

[@Deborahtunes]

@@discover854 ~ I'm aware of this. Unfortunately though, very few states allow "self defense" laws anymore. Criminals have more rights than the law-abiding citizens do these days...

According to the recap of the episode the daughter did commit suicide but only because of what happened to her face months earlier causing her to fall into a deep depression. Still would like to know how she was able to bind her hands by herself or if she had help.

“Did she leave a note?” Is the detective dumb? Her hands are bounded.. this isn’t suicide so why would she leave a note sheesh

[@shalashaska9946]

Actually I think you might be. Its common among suicides to do this so they have no chance of changing their minds at the last second.

Plus a note could be written by the murderer claiming to be the victim.

Well when the lieutenant knows the victim as the daughter of her oldest friend, I think it would move you to tears because there's a personal connection to the case. Or perhaps you lack the empathy to consider that?

I kinda feel like her character is added to show woman can hold a superior role, she is given similar role in Chicago med also, they could have gotten someone with much more aggressive attitude
