When the wife of comedy club owner Michael Dobson (Creator/LarryMiller) is shot, the detectives look into whether he did, and whether it is worth risking the comatose Mrs. Dobson's life to retrieve a potential piece of evidence from her.
!!Tropes in this episode
* ArtisticLicenseMedicine: A patient with a Glascow Coma Score of 4 like Mrs. Dobson would be intubated and on a ventilator, not a cannula into her nose.
* AtLeastIAdmitIt: Michael Dobson admits he is a jerk and proclaims his innocence at the same time:
-->"I don't need you to tell me I'm a sonuvabitch. Been one for a long time. I like it. The hours are good and there's no heavy lifting. But I happen to be a sonuvabitch whose wife was shot by some other sonuvabitch."
* AwfulWeddedLife: The Dobsons were in one of these.
* TheBadGuyWins: To paraphrase: The incredibly unpleasant guy who had motive and opportunity gets away with arranging to shoot his wife in the head. Probably.
-->"Thanks. No alimony!"
* QuipToBlack: Schiff gets this one to close the episode, after he and [=McCoy=] discuss all the reasons someone can get away with murder in court:
-->"Or innocent?"
