* RippedFromTheHeadlines: Based on the 1991 "Tailhook scandal" involving several allegations of sexual misconduct in the US Navy.

* TitleDrop: Used by Stone in his closing speech.

Police are called to a hotel to break up a wild party involving several US Navy officers, and a woman is found dead in one of the bedrooms. She turns out to be Lt Janet Hagen, who died from head injuries. Immediately before her death she had been in a room with an Ensign Walters; who says that she simply vomited and collapsed dead. Her autopsy reveals she was not drunk, and her fatal injury occurred half an hour before her death. It is discovered that before joining Walters, she came out of a room occupied by her commanding officer, Captain Bunker. Bunker has sent Walters for court-martial after a hearing where Hagen's roommate, Mendoza, was forbidden to testify.

Mendoza confesses that she and Hagen went to Bunker's suite, where Hagen began arguing with Bunker; they clearly had some kind of personal history. At this point Bunker sent Mendoza out of the room and later ordered her not to tell the police anything about Hagen's death. Without enough evidence to hold Bunker, Stone indicts Walters and uses a Material Witness Order to get Bunker's statement. Meanwhile Briscoe and Logan interview Tammy White, a prostitute with whom Bunker left the party. White says that he became violent with her after he couldn't perform sexually. Stone and Robinette further learn that Bunker had taught Hagen at the naval academy where she trained. His career was seriously harmed when she reported him for sexual harassment. This gives him a motive for murder, so he is arrested.

Police are called to a hotel to break up a wild party involving several US Navy officers, and a woman is found dead in one of the bedrooms. She turns out to be Lt Janet Hagen, who died from head injuries. From video footage taken at the party, Logan and Briscoe learn that Ensign Walters had been in the room with Hagen. Walters says that she vomited and collapsed dead. Hagen's autopsy reveals she was not drunk, and in fact had suffered a head injury around half an hour before her death. It is discovered that before joining Walters, she came out of a room occupied by her commanding officer, Captain Bunker. Bunker has sent Walters for court-martial after a hearing where Hagen's roommate, Mendoza, was forbidden to testify.

Mendoza confesses that Bunker invited her and Hagen into his suite. He and Hagen clearly had some kind of personal history, and began arguing; at this point, Bunker sent Mendoza out of the room, and after Hagen's death ordered her not to tell the police anything. Without enough evidence to hold Bunker, Stone indicts Walters and uses a Material Witness Order to get Bunker's statement. Briscoe and Logan interview Tammy White, a prostitute with whom Bunker left the party. White says that he became violent with her after he couldn't perform sexually. Stone and Robinette further learn that Bunker had taught Hagen at the naval academy where she trained. They had a brief affair, but when she decided not to pursue a relationship, Bunker harassed her so much that she made a complaint against him. He was officially cleared, but his career was seriously harmed and he could rise no further. This gives him a motive, and Briscoe and Logan arrest him.

During pre-trial negotiation with Stone, Bunker strongly expresses his opinion that women in the Navy gain unfair advantage using the threat of sexual harassment suits. In court, Stone highlights the fact that Bunker's career stalled after Hagen's complaint against him, whereas all his contemporaries were promoted to Admiral. When Stone suggests that Bunker took out his rage on women like White, an enraged Bunker yells:
