- The Manhattan DA's office finds itself in the middle of a battle over the death penalty when it asks the Canadian government to extradite a Canadian-born woman facing multiple murder charges.
- Briscoe and Curtis investigate the murder of Ron Harker and his daughter Caitlin. His wife Stephanie was three miles away at the time with her friend Doris Nichols. By the time the police catch up with her, Doris is dead and Stephanie is claiming she was Doris' next victim. They learn however that it was Stephanie who was fooling around and that her husband was about to institute divorce proceedings. She is Canadian however and before they can arrest her, she flees back home. McCoy and ADA Abbie Carmichael come up against the Canadian government which has a policy of not extraditing people to foreign countries where they may face the death penalty. McCoy agrees but as they continue the investigation, they find that she not only hired Nichols to kill her husband but that she killed Ron Harker's first wife. As a result, DA Adam Schiff decides to go after the death penalty.—garykmcd
- After a family is killed, the blame is put on Doris Nicols. But when she is killed and removed as a suspect to the police, the suspect becomes Stephanie Harker. Ms. Harker, knowing the extradition rules in Canada, flees back to her home in Niagra Falls. The death penalty is not allowed to be put on Harker if she comes back, but after some reasoning, and the fact that she killed her husband's first wife, she is sentenced to death. The Mens Rea in this case is that Stephanie Harker killed her husband due to the fact that he wanted a divorce. The Actus Reas is the actual murders she committed. The Crown argued that she cannot use Canada as a safe haven, and eventually the judge understood.—Kiran Patel
