This Thursday’s “Law & Order” dives into the murky world of hidden identities and moral compromises. In “Sins of the Father,” the murder of a seemingly ordinary car mechanic sends Detectives Shaw and Riley down a rabbit hole of illicit activities and concealed truths.
Their pursuit of justice leads them to a suspect, whose potential conviction hinges on the moral decisions of those within the DA’s office. Baxter, Price, and Maroun debate who should be held accountable for the crime, wrestling with the complicated legacy of the suspect’s family history.
The episode’s title, “Sins of the Father,” points to the questions at the heart of the case: what responsibility do we bear for the actions of those who came before us, and how far does the ripple effect of their choices extend? It looks to be a meaty episode for fans of the long-running legal procedural. Catch it on NBC this Thursday, May 1st at 8:00 PM ET.
