* DownerEnding: Although they know Dr. Gilbert is guilty of several things such as fraud by selling snake oil as pregnancy hormones and using his own sperm to inseminate his clients without their knowledge he was the donor, at the end of the episode they do not have a witness who can testify against him in any meaningful way, therefore Gilbert gets to just walk free.

* WalkingTransplant: The Brocks had their son Bobby primarily for the chance he would be a bone marrow doner for his sister with leukemia. Because Dr. Gilbert swapped out Nathan's sperm for his own, it lowered the chances of Bobby being a compatible doner drastically. However, while [=McCoy=] wants to use this as a smoking gun to finally have a way to convict Gilbert of something, the Brocks refuse to comply because they never want Bobby to find out he was born to be spare parts for his sister.

* WalkingTransplant: The Brocks had their son Bobby primarily for the chance he would be a bone marrow doner for his sister to leukemia. Because Dr. Gilbert swapped out Nathan's sperm for his own, it lowered the chances of Bobby being a compatible doner to nearly zero. However, while [=McCoy=] wants to use this as a smoking gun to finally have a way to convict Gilbert of something, the Brocks refuse to comply because they never want Bobby to find out he was born to be spare parts for his sister.

** Then after [=McCoy=]’s EurekaMoment.
--->'''Claire Kincaid:''' Come on, Jack, I’ve seen at least twelve public service announcements a day telling me that’s impossible.\\

'''Claire Kincaid:''' …The son of a bitch is using his own sperm.

Gilbert and Aronson leave. [=McCoy=] has to admit that Aronson is right; they have no case without a witness. Kincaid asks they'll ever find someone to testify against Gilbert.

Clara demands to know why they can't use someone else, but Kincaid says that they can only establish a fraud case with the Brocks. Nathan says that this will destroy the lives of his family. [=McCoy=], losing his patience, says that it's more important to stop Brock, and that it doesn't matter if Bobby is adopted. Clara rants about doctors claiming to know what's best for people, but Nathan tells her to be quiet and orders the lawyers out.

She walks past the receptionist and says she wants the whole world to know about how her husband wronged her. Wallace grabs her to stop her, but Susan pulls away, then draws a handgun. Then Brandon comes out from his office, having heard the commotion. At first he demands that his wife leave, but when he sees the gun he stops short. Then he calls her crazy. She yells that he's a murderer and killed her baby, and demands that he tell everyone what he did. She turns away to talk to everyone else, and Brandon goes back into his office to call the police. Susan hesitates, then shoots through the frosted glass window in the door. It shatters. Susan hesitates, and then Wallace guard shoots her in the back. Brandon, who wasn't hit, goes to his broken door and looks out.

Gilbert says that, even though [=McCoy=] has a subpoena, he won't turn over his records until his attorney, Michael Aronson, arrives. [=McCoy=] threatens to have Gilbert held in contempt. Gilbert says he feels bad for Susan, but he doesn't want his business disrupted. He adds that his patients expect privacy, and rely on it. Aronson shows up, and Gilbert asks him what's going on. [=McCoy=] reiterates that he wants the records, and Aronson says that they already gave records to Kincaid. [=McCoy=] clarifies that now they want financial records. Gilbert complains that he's been practicing medicine for over twenty-five years, but Aronson cuts him off.

Briscoe tells Van Buren that the shooting was justified, and says that there's not really any room for debate on the subject -- thirty eyewitnesses confirmed that Susan was shot by the guard to defend Brandon. Van Buren wants to know about the dead baby. Logan thinks it's nothing, but Van Burne thinks that Brandon had to have done something to cause his wife to shoot up a bank. She tells the detectives to check with the medical examiner. Logan and Briscoe are confused and say they don't know what to talk to the ME about. Van Buren clarifies that she wants to know if Brandon really did kill her baby or not.

'''Jack [=McCoy=]:''' …Or he was ''sure''.\\

'''Jack [=McCoy=]:''' …Or he was ''sure''.

Judge Michael Ianello hears the motion, but says that even if he granted it, it would quickly be reversed. Kincaid tries to argue inevitable discovery, but Ianello says that no one would have noticed this if the cops hadn't unlawfully searched the records for information they were not entitled to. Kincaid says that most of the babies living in the same general area, there's a serious risk of accidental incestuous relationships.

Logan says that women are allowed to have priorities besides having kids. Briscoe, going back to the case, says he's found twenty-three patients with miscarriages in the files. Logan has twenty-six. The cops decide to start interviewing people.

A clerk, Christine Kennedy, at a boutique says that she loved to party and kept putting off having kids. Logan jokes about waiting for Mr. Right, and Kennedy says that Mr. Right is just whoever's nearby when you run out of energy and want to settle down. She says that her husband wanted a son, but they couldn't conceive for a long time. Kennedy finally did conceive but then had a miscarriage, after which a friend of hers named Clara Brock referred her to Gilbert. Gilbert had, she said, helped Brock become pregnant after Brock had had a miscarriage. She went onto Gilbert's hormone regimen, but had another miscarriage. Logan asks if she's still trying to have a baby.
