In the ''Law and Order'' episode [[Recap/LawAndOrderS8E6BabyItsYou "Baby, It's You"]], a young model dies after being sexually assaulted with such severity that she suffered internal injuries that resulted in toxic shock and infection that killed her. Every male who had access to the girl during the time of the assault has an alibi. In this episode of the same name, it turns out that this includes the girl's father, who was elsewhere having an affair that had carried on for a decade. [[spoiler:The killer ends up being the girl's mother, who was resentful and jealous of her daughter's success]].
