if you wanted to save people, you should've become a doctor.

Two mates were having a party in their own apartment. Being a "sausage fest", they wanted to pay a visit to two charming neighbor living next door. The door was open and they got in, but they were both death, bludgeoned by a blunt object (a small barbell like the one used at gym for biceps). Detectives focused on one of the victim (I don't know why the other victim's life wasn't examined any further), realizing she used to switch partners and she liked to get high on drugs. She worked in a bank and she spent the night partying in a shanty club together with a married coworker (Brent Crawford). Anyway the cheating man had solid alibi and the girl happened to be the second victim, while her roommate had already been murdered. A local guy working in a hardware store used to duplicate spare keys in order to harass innocent women. Southerlyn manage to subdue him at knife point faking her ID as defense attorney and that lead to the second episode plot, involving ethical misconduct.

An episode in which the "Order" segment prevailed over the "Law". Lawyers may like it, that's why high marks were given; anyway I found it a little below average.
