- ThrillE1
ThrillThe cops break the seemingly random murder of a pizza delivery guy with a little ""undercover"" work in the park, but McCoy and Ross face a harder battle to get a conviction when the two defendants resolutely point the finger at each other, and the one item identifying the actual killer is the recording of a confession-made to a priest. - NullificationE5
NullificationAfter the cops trace an eagle tattoo on a man shot and killed while holding up an armored truck to a group of militia members, McCoy finds himself facing one of their number as the pro se counsel for his friends, arguing for the concept of "jury nullification", the right of a jury to protect a defendant from an unjust law by finding him not guilty despite the evidence. - Baby, It's You (I)E6
Baby, It's You (I)It's old home week for Briscoe when an apparent murder of a teenage model in New York develops ties to Baltimore and Detectives Munch and Falsone pay a visit to the Big Apple to observe the case.

This crossover continues on Homicide: Life on the Street S06E05 Baby, It's You (II). - Under the InfluenceE11
Under the InfluenceAfter Briscoe and Curtis finally determine who was driving the car that killed three people, the legal prosecution stands in danger of becoming a kangaroo court when McCoy's feelings over Kincaid mesh with the political agenda of an ambitious judge anxious to make an example of the defendant. - ExpertE12
ExpertThe shooting of two people in a restaurant restroom takes some abrupt turns as they try to discover who exactly the intended victim was, and the prosecutors have to deal with a defendant claiming to have been in a dissociative state while committing the crime-- the same defense used years before by the defendant's father. - CastoffE13
CastoffThe street murder of a woman who worked with underprivileged kids takes a turn towards the bizarre when the detectives uncover she had a predilection for kinky sex, and that one of her current partners appears to be a serial killer, who offers an overexposure to television violence as his defense during his trial. - DivorceE16
DivorceA marriage counselor who also works on Roman Catholic annulment cases is murdered in her office.
