comment
The second Spin-Off from the popular Law & Order series, Criminal Intent shows the viewer what is happening from the criminal's perspective as well as the ongoing police investigation. Basically, what happens when Sherlock Holmes is brought into the Law & Order universe, complete with a quirky genius detective - Robert Goren (Vincent D'Onofrio), a twitchy, anti-social detective in the NYPD Major Case Squad who has a very sharp mind for piecing together details and lateral thinking. Together with dryly sardonic partner Alex Eames (Kathryn Erbe), they investigate the most serious crimes that occur in New York (most of which seem to be murders or end up in murders), whilst the show also gives us the perspective of the people responsible for it (or at least people who are connected to the people responsible for it). They first serve under Captain James Deakins (Jamey Sheridan) and then Danny Ross (Eric Bogosian). The second season establishes Nicole Wallace (Olivia D Abo) as a recurring villain, the Moriarty to Goren's Holmes.In 2005, Mike Logan (Chris Noth) - formerly of the original series - joined the cast when D'Onofrio began to suffer from exhaustion. The episodes alternated between Goren and Eames one week, and Logan and his partner the other from that point. Logan was first partnered with Carolyn Barek (Annabella Sciorra) and then Megan Wheeler (Julianne Nicholson), with Nola Falacci (Alicia Witt) filling in for Wheeler while Nicholson was on maternity leave. In 2009, Logan was replaced by Zach Nichols (Jeff Goldblum), though Wheeler stayed. In 2010, Goren and Eames left the show at the conclusion of the second half of season 9's two-part premiere, along with Ross and Wheeler. The remainder of the season focused on Nichols and his new partner Serena Stevens (Saffron Burrows), with the Major Case Squad being led by Zoe Callas (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio).The show was renewed for a tenth season that brought back D'Onofrio and Erbe for eight final episodes. This time they were joined by Jay O. Sanders as Capt. Joseph Hannah and Julia Ormond as Goren's therapist Paula Gyson. Criminal Intent aired its finale on June 26, 2011, ending its run after ten years and 195 episodes.In 2024, a Canadian version of Criminal Intent aired in Canada known as Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent.

No Celebrities Were Harmed
 Law & Order: Criminal Intent / int_1282bf4f
comment
No Celebrities Were Harmed: The episode "Collective" centers around the fandom of an author named Carlotta Francis, whose works are quite clearly inspired by those of Anne Rice. TV reporter "Faith Yancy" bears a striking similarity to Nancy Grace. Lorelei Mailer in "Bombshell" is Anna Nicole Smith in all but name (and in-universe is compared to Marilyn Monroe, as Smith often was). Gerhardt Heldtman in "The Posthumous Collection" is a fashion/fetish photographer whose German-Jewish family was persecuted during the Third Reich, much like Helmut Newton. David Blake, the chess grandmaster gone wrong in "Gone" is a clear takeoff on Bobby Fischer.

In Consumed, the killer kills three Hispanic men in one night to try and make the murder of one look like a deliberate hate crime.

Big, Screwed-Up Family
 Law & Order: Criminal Intent / int_154aa477
comment
Big, Screwed-Up Family: Goren is pretty much the only member of his family who's both relatively stable and a decent human being. The only other person who might qualify is his nephew (although even he seems to have some minor mental health issues), and said nephew grew up largely away from any of Goren's other relatives (including his own father, Goren's brother). The main characters in "Reunion" are revealed to be this when it comes out that Jordy is Milo's father, making he and Sylvia his parents. "In The Wee Small Hours" ultimately ends with a judge, his wife, and his teenage son all in prison: the son for negligent homicide related to a girlfriend's death by overdose, the father for statutory rape on another of his son's conquests, and the mother for killing said conquest because she knew her son was involved and didn't want him mixed up in the scandal that would result if her husband was accused of rape. Everyone pretty much agrees that the father was the source of most of his family's problems, but they still have to hold the mother and son accountable for their actions.

Man Bites Man: A suspect ended up painfully biting Goren in the arm before he was taken out by a sniper. In "Revolution", a banker being kidnapped attempts to escape from the thug holding him at gunpoint by biting him on the arm. Although he makes the thug drop the gun, he still gets shot by one of the other kidnappers. Actually, he made things worse for himself. His attackers intended to hold him hostage and trade him for a ransom. His attempt to resist got him and his driver killed.

All There in the Manual: Although some fans believe it to be of the Ass Pull variety, Kathryn Erbe revealed in an interview from 2001 that Eames had a husband who was killed in the line of duty but that she believed that it would never be brought up in the series. Nichols' official bio, as shown on the USA channel website, mentions that the character's (ultimately temporary) departure from the police force was prompted by the September 11th attacks. This fact is never mentioned in-series.

In "Phantom," Gerry Rankin (Michael Emerson) is shown as an economist working for the United Nations who's romancing Charlotte, the Victim of the Week's sister. In one scene, she's talking to him on the phone while he's in his car. Gerry tells her that he's coming up to the airport and will talk to her later. He then pulls in to a suburban house where his wife and children greet him warmly from his business trip.

Master Forger: The episode "Art" has the detectives covering a murder case involving art forgery has a renowned forger as a supporting character. His work is considered so impeccable that a number of his forgeries are still hanging in museums undetected. The episode "The Saint" has a Catholic charity fall prey to an expert forger who seeks to discredit its patron saint because he blames the charity for taking advantage of his mentally-ill mother.

comment
A suspect that stole the engagement ring off of the victim's body in "The Unblinking Eye" was discovered by the detectives and had already consumed the ring. As they were interrogating him, Goren explained to him that it needed to be extricated immediately due to the fact that since it's a diamond, specifically of a marquise cut, it has jagged little saw-like edges that will cut him from the inside out. Worse, it became evident that he was already sick from the effects of swallowing it. After hearing that, he admitted to his crime and even though he was in trouble for being in possession of it, at least he'll survive.

Vomiting Cop: A twist on the trope in this series; in one episode, Wheeler has been pregnant for a while and has been throwing up every day. The crime scene she visits is one of the less disturbing ones she's seen, but in her condition it's enough to bring her breakfast back up. Well, to be fair, she didn't get sick until Nichols urged her to smell the body. And while it's not disturbing visually, the body was in a dumpster.

The various parents portrayed on the show are normally placed into two camps: as loving and concerned (albeit underdeveloped) figures who allows the audience to feel sympathy for the victim(s) or more fleshed out but complex characters who in spite of their own idiosyncrasies or if they're guilty of the episode's crime or not usually aren't people worth rooting for.

Dead Man Writing
 Law & Order: Criminal Intent / int_2310dacb

Dead Man Writing: Played with in "Palimpsest". Two men are found dead, having apparently killed each other in a struggle, and one of them had left a message saying that he was planning to confront the other man, who was blackmailing him, and that if he was found dead, the other man would probably be to blame. By this point, Nichols has already determined that the scene was staged, but the video ends up being relevant anyway; it turns out that the real killer had been the person to whom the victim entrusted the video, and that person had watched the video and then staged the scene to match the prediction.

Missing White Woman Syndrome: Lampshaded. In one episode, the media doesn't become interested in a series of murders until a white girl is killed.

The Schlub Pub Seduction Deduction: In "Lonelyville", a writer is approached in a bar by two beautiful women who say that they have always had a fantasy about a threesome with a stranger. The next morning he wakes up in a The Murder After situation: with one of the women dead and him being blackmailed.

Funny Background Event

Funny Background Event: During the questioning of a witness in "Suite Sorrow," Goren casually snaps a picture of himself and Eames. What makes it even better is Eames' complete lack of a reaction to the photo being taken. As they're leaving, he slips the picture into his pocket. In "Legion", when Eames is first questioning Jojo Rios, Goren can be seen wearing headphones and dancing in the DJ booth behind them for a few seconds before he joins the conversation.

Offing the Offspring
 Law & Order: Criminal Intent / int_27ab0123
comment
Offing the Offspring: Averted in "Phantom" and "Family Values"; the former had a man supposedly decide to kill his two children in murder-suicide, only to be talked out of it by Goren and for him to then discover that only two bullets were in the gun and the latter wanted to kill his daughter to "save her soul" but Goren managed to convince him that God wanted his daughter to live. A subversion occurred in "Badge", where it only looks like the father killed his family and himself to escape mounting debts. Turns out, a crooked cop did it for money and attempted to frame him for the homicides. Played straight in "Great Barrier", where we learn Nicole Wallace had killed her young daughter years earlier out of jealousy. It's one of the few times in the series where she was genuinely rattled by Goren, even quasi-meekly saying "Very good, Bobby" after he revealed that he knew of the girl's existence. Played straight again in "Magnificat", where an overwhelmed and emotionally abused mother attempted to kill herself and her four children with a car bomb because she felt (thanks to her husband's emotional abuse) that she wasn't a good enough mother to them, but didn't want to leave them with no mother either. She and her oldest son survived because he had absentmindedly opened the front passenger side window which reduced the force of the blast in the front; the three younger children, in the back seats, were killed. In "The Good Child" a young woman's stepparents are murdered a few years after testifying against the mob and going into Witness Protection. But the actual killers are her biological parents, who intend to reunite with her just long enough to kill her as well and inherit from her.

Depraved Bisexual: Nicole Wallace. To be fair to the show, her bisexuality isn't actually portrayed as a negative, and they make it clear she's just plain messed up, period. Also, it appears her only confirmed lesbian relationship may have been simply a means to an end rather than due to any actual desire. Karl Atwood, the bad guy in the very first episode ("One"), had a girlfriend and an old prison buddy with whom he was intimate. Goren theorizes that he uses anal sex as a means of dominating others, but the girlfriend refuses to comment. Leanne "Lee" Baker, the defense attorney from "Lonelyville", manipulated everyone throughout the episode, including her client Tammy to get money and blackmail her clients into silence or expose their cheating. She was even fired from a previous law firm for sexual harassment against a female coworker.

Medication Tampering
 Law & Order: Criminal Intent / int_30725d31
comment
Medication Tampering: In "In Treatment", a psychiatrist gives one of his patients an antidepressant that he knows is contraindicated with the antidepressant he is currently taking. The combination causes a variety of side-effects, including delirium, which causes the patient to commit suicide. The killer from "Semi-Detached" had tampered with the victim's anti-depressants while working as a nurse at the rehab center he was staying. She switched his medication with placebos. A truly despicable example was in "Malignant" where a pharmacist was watering down chemotherapy drugs and the like (because he was struggling to make ends meet and could get more profit for his expenses that way). To the point that a woman who was given a strong chance of surviving her cancer died because she wasn't getting the treatment she needed. Eames pointed out that they may as well been treating the patients with water instead.

The father in "Bedfellows" clearly sees his two sons as this, but it's arguably a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy; if his behavior with his grandchildren is any indication, he probably categorized them as such from the time they were young children, and they developed into the men they were based on those expectations.

Even Evil Has Standards: Downplayed in "Delicate" with diva ballerina Alona (not exactly evil, but a very abrasive person to say the least. However, though she may have had a fierce rivalry with Jessalyn, she was horrified to learn that Paulette put glass in Jessalyn's shoes to give Alona the edge. Unfortunately for Alona, Jessalyn, who Paulette then switches her loyalty to, is a subversion. In "Frame," Goren's old mentor Declan Gage commits a murder and sends Goren on a wild goose chase meant to "free" him of the negative people in his life. He is, however, appalled by Goren's suggestion that he might have killed Goren's nephew Danny and insists that he wouldn't have touched him even if he'd been able to find him. In "Homo Homini Lupis", a Loan Shark willingly turns over information to the detectives after he finds out the guy he hired to collect money owed to him raped the daughter of the man who owed him money. Ella Miyazaki, Nicole Wallace's one-time girlfriend, from "Great Barrier" had no problem robbing jewelry stores disguised as different Asian ethnicities and helping to dispose of her male accomplice, but turned on Nicole once she learned that she murdered her own toddler daughter years earlier because she viewed the girl as competition.

Dies Wide Open: The victims from "Con-Text" were found to be this. Naturally, Goren, while investigating their murders, began to poke at their open eyes...which ended up being a clue to how and when they died. Frank Goren also died this way after being shoved out a window. A screenwriter named Wes Banyan who was decapitated in "Slither" ended up this way. The accompanying look of terror left on his face implies that he didn't go peacefully. One of the killers from "Yesterday" was found this way after falling from a high-level construction site. Even though his life was in shambles and he was about to be arrested for the crime, detectives knew that he didn't commit suicide.

When he tries to bring up the impact he had and his musical talent, Nichols shuts him down by telling him that his band was terrible. Nichols states that he was on the stage at Woodstock so long, because they wouldn't get off the stage in spite of the crowd's negative reaction. Nichols even declared his Grammy to be a joke, stating how even Milli Vanilli has one.

Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping
 Law & Order: Criminal Intent / int_35b241c0
comment
Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: In "Chinoiserie", Goren and Eames immediately identify a supposed British lord as a fake by his atrocious accent which keeps jumping around the UK. The outraged impostor, an actor unknowingly hired to play the role as part of a con, keeps insisting that it is "a perfectly valid British musical hall accent."

Former Child Star: The victim and his friend in "Blasters" both starred in a teenage sitcom when they were younger. Neither live a particularly happy existence; the victim is living hand-to-mouth in a decommissioned ice cream truck and has done nothing of relevance in the years since. His friend himself has delusions of grandeur and is stuck living in the past.

I Read It for the Articles: While investigating the murder of a magazine editor in "Traffic", Nichols comments that his father used to read it and remembers an article featuring Ursula Andress in a brassiere that fired bullets. When Stevens wryly asks "Your father read it?", he admits it was shared, then adds there was always a fight over the crossword.

Fake Aristocrat: In "Chinoiserie", Goren and Eames encounter a man masquerading as a British nobleman. Goren and Eames pick him as fake immediately as his accent keeps jumping around the British Isles. He turns out to be an actor who thinks he is in a piece of performance art. He is actually an unwitting dupe hired to help establish a false provenance for Chinese antiquities.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: In "Last Rites", Logan and Wheeler investigate an old homicide in which three people were shot in a car, but a toddler was left alive in the backseat. The toddler was adopted by her grandparents, who refuse to tell her what actually happened to her parents because they don't want to worry her or traumatize her further. By the time the case gets reopened, though, that toddler has grown into a teenager and easily found out the truth simply by Googling her parents.

Blatant Lies: In "Dramma Giocoso", Logan and Barek discover that a woman at the center of their case ended up in an emergency room, but the ER doctor can't talk to them about a patient, so Logan suggests they hypothetically discuss a scenario where his "poor, sweet mother" came in with the same symptoms. This description is so far from the reality of what Logan's mother was that Barek noticeably hesitates on the adjectives when asking a follow-up question.

Manipulative Bastard: The husband from "Magnificat". He ignored his wife's post-partum depression and refused to allow her to seek professional help or medication to the point of thinking that if she did, she would be weak and felt that the only "therapy" she required was to have even more responsibility piled on her and to be further cut off from the rest of the world, removing what little support system she had. After she killed three of their four sons, he still saw that as a sign that she was a bad parent. In the end, while he hadn't done anything illegal, he is likely to lose custody of his surviving son.

Delayed Diagnosis: One episode deals with a mild-mannered, middle-aged accountant who fell into crime because his odd behaviors repelled people and made it difficult for him to hold down a regular job. When Goren suggests that he might have Asperger's syndrome (which, at the time, had only been recognized for maybe a decade or so), he's almost relieved that there's a name for it.

Cold-Blooded Torture: Plenty of the Serial Killer episodes qualify as well as some basic, non-multiple killings. A memorable episode (and by "memorable", it's meant to be "horrifying") was "Blind Spot" where Eames was kidnapped and listened as the killer brutally tortured and murdered their victim. More disturbingly, the killer was a woman.

Stripperific: Lampshaded in "Shandeh." Goren and Eames are talking with a suburban mother of two about her involvement with a strip club. She says she helped with the decor and with hiring the staff. Goren asks if she means the strippers, and guesses she has had some experience in that area. She just glares at him, but Eames points out that her (rather revealing) clothing doesn't really fit the "Westchester soccer mom" image she's trying to present.

Characterization Marches On: Goren was initially seen as a brilliant detective with the ability to read people, comprehend situations better than most, solve the case and maintain his high clearance rate and spoke several languages. After the first season, however, in order to give him a few flaws and make him feel more relatable, he was given a troubled past, including a schizophrenic mother, junkie brother and less apt when separated from his partner. He still had his former characteristics, but the latter ones overtook his persona.

While some fans loved her for calling him out on this, others were thinking "Well duh, Eames! What else did you think your role on this show was supposed to be?"

Obnoxious In-Laws: The mother-in-law from "Please Note We Are No Longer Accepting Letters of Recommendation from Henry Kissinger", natch. She was a Upper-Class Twit Rich Bitch who hated her daughter-in-law, believing that she was never good enough for her son (who wouldn't stand up for his wife since he was a Mama's Boy) and was a bad mother to their son. This ended up pushing the daughter-in-law over the edge, as after the mother-in-law repeatedly belittled her for not getting her son into a highly-rated preschool, she killed the parents of several children, even leaving one of the children an orphan, to get her kid off the waiting list.

Parental Savings Splurge: One episode involves a man who uses his forging skills to destroy the reputation of a church's patron saint, because his mentally ill mother basically gave away his possessions and their savings to them without his consent. In a twist, he doesn't blame his mother for this but rather blames the church for taking advantage of her mental illness, and relents when Goren makes it clear how devastated she'd be if the forged documents were accurate.

 Law & Order: Criminal Intent / int_4d044580
comment
Motive Rant: Inducing these are Goren's specialty. Averted on occasion, when he breaks a suspect who then confesses to a crime they haven't committed. Deconstructed in one episode where the overbearing nature of her husband causes a woman to kill three of her four children in a failed mass-suicide attempt. Goren successfully causes the husband to break into a motive rant, but it ends up being all for naught, because although the husband is a world-class Jerkass, nothing that he did was technically illegal.

Downer Ending: Plenty of times, but "Untethered" is a prime example. After going undercover without authorization to rescue his nephew, Donny, from a corrupt prison after being manipulated into doing it by Frank, Goren not only almost starves himself to death by the guards, but ends up being suspended from the force and gets Eames and Ross in trouble in the aftermath. Then after learning that Donny managed to escape from prison himself by faking a burst appendix, Goren angrily confronts his brother, who not only couldn't care less about his brother's suspension or his missing son, but also suggests that he should sleep with Eames to get out his aggressions. And to top it off, he never did locate his nephew.

Wham Shot
 Law & Order: Criminal Intent / int_4e7f703c
comment
Wham Shot: Interestingly, this often happens in the middle of an episode, a scene that changes everything viewers thought they knew about the story. In "Phantom," Gerry Rankin (Michael Emerson) is shown as an economist working for the United Nations who's romancing Charlotte, the Victim of the Week's sister. In one scene, she's talking to him on the phone while he's in his car. Gerry tells her that he's coming up to the airport and will talk to her later. He then pulls in to a suburban house where his wife and children greet him warmly from his business trip. In "Frame", Goren learns about a man who fell out of a high-story window and using his position to get near the body, he discovers that it's his older brother, Frank. This is even more powerful because the ending of "Brother's Keeper" has him horrified at the notion of him being dead, only for the dead man seen at the end of that episode not to be him.

Once the partner looked back to check on her, she and the mobsters were gone. She was later found murdered in a park.

Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Two of the suspects from "Tomorrow": one sister was an angry Broken Bird with a criminal record and obvious mental instabilities and the other was a soft-spoken, gentle girl who was Happily Adopted. Subverted when it turns out that the supposedly responsible girl was actually in on her sister's schemes. Robert and Frank Goren. The former is a brilliant detective who served in the armed services and still found time to care for his dying mother. The latter is a manipulative drug addict and absentee father. The father in "Bedfellows" clearly sees his two sons as this, but it's arguably a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy; if his behavior with his grandchildren is any indication, he probably categorized them as such from the time they were young children, and they developed into the men they were based on those expectations.

comment
Patched Together from the Headlines: "Monster" is an amalgamation of the "preppie" murder (a teen boy murdered a classmate and was viewed as having gotten off lightly due to his perceived class status) before it turns out to also be based on the Trisha Melli/Central Park Five case, where the brutal rape and near death of a woman in central New York led to the false convictions of several others, resulting in a repeat offender going uncaught for years. "Gemini" borrows a lot of features from the Unabomber case, such as a popular police sketch that went viral before being ID'd by his own brother, and a schizophrenia defence that he refused, set against the actual story of Jonathan Preston Haynes, a white supremacist who killed a plastic surgeon and hairdresser to uphold Aryan ideals of beauty. "Sound Bodies" is the Gustaf Adolph Lutheran Church arsenic poisonings meets Charles Manson, as the crimes turn out to be perpetrated by a group of teenage girls acting for The Svengali.

He spends a few years in prison, has to register as a sex offender only to then be harassed and vilified by his neighbors after getting out and then he is brutally murdered.

My Greatest Failure: The killer in "Maledictus" had this: as a child, he accidentally killed his own pregnant mother by poisoning her, in the hope that she would just miscarry his younger half-sibling. He did this out of jealousy of the child and worry that he and his sister would be forgotten. He is revealed to have killed the Victim of the Week, a former classmate who had become a writer, out of fear that she would have revealed this in her new book; Goren and Eames eventually agree to let him keep his secret if he pleads guilty to the writer's murder.

Temporary Substitute
 Law & Order: Criminal Intent / int_6eef5fc6
comment
Temporary Substitute: When Kathryn Erbe got pregnant during Season 3, G. Lynn Bishop was brought in as a replacement. Unlike most examples, this was actually written into the show well in advance of Bishop's arrival, with the explanation that Erbe's character Eames was acting as a surrogate for her sister and would need a temporary replacement in the later stages of the pregnancy. Eames is still seen in several of the Bishop episodes, but she stays behind a desk. In fact, the empty desk in the episode where Eames gives birth is a plot point - her absence helps Goren figure out the perp's motive.

N-Word Privileges: Discussed in "Acts of Contrition" when one of the perpetrators in a years ago brutal beating that left a Black man with permanent brain damage admitted to Goren, Eames and Carver that as he tried to crawl to her to escape his horrible ordeal, she instead yelled out, "What are you looking at, nigger?" and kicked him in the face. The admittance of this made her cry and begin to beg for Carver's forgiveness.

She Is Not My Girlfriend
 Law & Order: Criminal Intent / int_78410584
comment
She Is Not My Girlfriend: Goren's mother doesn't understand that Eames is her son's partner, and demands to meet his new girlfriend. (Goren's reaction is adorably bashful.) Goren's mother got the wrong impression from his brother Frank, who assumed partner means domestic partner; Bobby weakly tries to correct him, but it doesn't sink in for a while. He gets it eventually, but he still has his suspicions - see Unresolved Sexual Tension, below.

Mistaken for Racist: One suspect in "Gemini", a schizophrenic man, is set up to look like one by his sociopathic brother by portraying him as a Neo-Nazi who sent hate messages to various people and even tricking him into dyeing his hair blond. When confronted by the detectives, the man is horrified by this notion, at one point telling them almost to the point of tears that he liked Jewish people.

Later-Installment Weirdness: A particularly prominent example. After the original showrunner, Rene Balcer, stepped down after season five, the series went from being "a series that showcases crimes from the criminals' perspectives and was solved by a brilliant detective that had the ability to read people" to something between a composite of CSI, SVU and your average Police Procedural.

Goren's own mother seems to favor his brother, Frank, over him, even though Frank is a deadbeat drug addict who she hardly ever sees while Goren is successful and visits her regularly. It's eventually revealed that she believed (correctly, as it turned out) that Goren was the product of an affair she had had with a man who hurt her badly a few years later, which is implied to be at least part of the reason for his being The Unfavorite.

Sore Loser: Plenty of examples, but the killer from "Smile" particularly stands out. Being motivated by greed and not having any remorse for poisoning the victims (who were not only children, but were even called stupid as well - "It was mouthwash; they should have known to spit it out!") is bad enough. But after being arrested, she blurts out about knowing the detectives' secrets and that because of Goren's issues, he'll never make Senior Detective and Eames will never make Lieutenant.

Upon speaking with another witness, an older athletic woman, about the girl's whereabouts, they notice both a bag of cheese puffs and a bottle of Yoo-hoo left out in the open and order her to come out of hiding, which she does. Turns out, the witness was her biological mother and one of the killers of her parents.

Sympathetic Murderer: All over the place. The episode, "See Me" was shaping up to be an aversion of this trope due to the suspect's disgusting means of "curing" his patients and the apparent lack of guilt he had for his actions. After it was discovered by the detectives that there was a reason for his methods: trying to dissipate their symptoms of schizophrenia, namely the delusions, which he was ultimately discovered to be suffering from himself, his Smug Snake persona quickly faded away and he sheepishly begged them to let him return to his work and played this trope straight. Both Goren and Eames, who usually has a more cynical view of suspects, felt sympathy for the man and he ended up being sent to an institution. Goren is then seen talking on the phone with his mother.

Broken Pedestal: What Goren eventually comes to think of his mentor, Declan Gage, and with damn good reason: not only did his cold, unloving behavior towards his daughter, Jo, and early exposure to his violent casefiles turn her into a Serial Killer who kidnapped and tried to kill Eames, but also he himself murdered both his brother, Frank, and Nicole Wallace in an effort to "improve" his life. The son from "Shibboleth" idolized his biological father who abandoned him and always wanted a relationship with him in spite of the man having no redeeming qualities, to the point that he almost went down for several of the father's murders. Wheeler has a slight one in "Blasters" after viewing that one of the actors of a show she liked in her youth was a Jaded Washout who was stonewalling their investigation. She even said to Ross at one point "I can't believe that I used to have a crush on this guy."

Parental Favoritism: "Beast" has a woman with two daughters, one being very pretty and talented, who got all the glory in life and is now worshiped by the mother years after her death; the other is rather plain, lived in her sister's shadow, and was and is constantly put down by their mother. This treatment led her to be involved with two murders years later, including that of her own sister. "Bedfellows" has an even more blatant example, where a mogul's two sons are murdered on separate occasions, he grieved only one of the sons (whom he also put on a pedestal while they were alive) and is now continuing the behavior with each of his grandsons. Even when he cried out over his dead son, Goren had to remind him "You had two sons." Goren's own mother seems to favor his brother, Frank, over him, even though Frank is a deadbeat drug addict who she hardly ever sees while Goren is successful and visits her regularly. It's eventually revealed that she believed (correctly, as it turned out) that Goren was the product of an affair she had had with a man who hurt her badly a few years later, which is implied to be at least part of the reason for his being The Unfavorite.

Deconstructed in one episode where the overbearing nature of her husband causes a woman to kill three of her four children in a failed mass-suicide attempt. Goren successfully causes the husband to break into a motive rant, but it ends up being all for naught, because although the husband is a world-class Jerkass, nothing that he did was technically illegal.

Flaw Exploitation: In "The Saint," this is the criminal's motivation.

Wham Episode: There were a few: "Anti-Thesis:" the first appearance of Nicole Wallace, the series' main villain. "Stress Position:" Mike Logan returns after ten years and thus begins the (indirect) cause of Captain Deakins being forced to resign. "Untethered:" Goren goes undercover at the prison where his nephew is currently located without authorization, and while many felt he was beginning to show signs of Sanity Slippage, this episode put it on full display. He eventually was sent to mandatory visits to a psychiatrist. "Loyalty:" Captain Ross is murdered, Goren is fired, and Eames resigns from the force.

Of course, then The Bus Came Back and proved that they did not become a couple. And then season 10 (and the series) ended with an equally open-ended possibility of them eventually getting together. Eames later guest-starred on SVU, where it was implied that they weren't together, although she did take on some of Goren's personality traits (and the whole head-tilting thing he does).

comment
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: The killer from "Eosphoros" killed his cohorts in the crime not only to cover his tracks, but so he wouldn't have to split the ransom money three ways. Also, after he uses him and his money to get her off from various murders, Nicole Wallace both divorces and tries to suffocate her husband, Gavin, in "Great Barrier" (by switching his full asthma inhaler with an empty one so that he would suffocate while stuck in an elevator... long story). He isn't the first one though, as many people, especially lovers, ended up dead after she got what she needed from them. Nicole herself was given this treatment from Declan Gage after he set up her, Frank Goren and himself in an elaborate plan to be out of Goren's life. In "Revolution", the main villain strangles a henchmen he considers to have become a liability.

Shoot Him, He Has a Wallet!: Subverted in "Pas De Deux"; the suspect really did have a gun, but it was a starter's pistol. Had he not been clumsy and dropped it, the police would have followed through with this trope, which is exactly what he wanted. "Amends" reveals that this is what happened to Eames' late husband. After making a buy, he reached for his badge to tell the criminals it was a sting, but one of them thought he was reaching for a gun and shot him. Played straight in "Collective". He was actually only holding a toy, but his con artist girlfriend set it up to seem like he had a real gun. Unfortunately, the police bought it.

There Are No Therapists: And if there are therapists, watch out. One episode had two married therapists, but they used their job skills to emotionally abuse and manipulate each other. Finally averted in Season 10, with mandatory therapy sessions being a condition of Goren's reinstatement. Back in season 6, Eames also had to attend therapy sessions after being kidnapped by Jo Gage. Also averted in Nichols' final episode, when his father, a psychiatrist, lends a hand to the investigation. (Technically, it had been mentioned from Nichols' first appearance that his parents were "shrinks", but this is the first and only time either of them actually appears.)

Even worse, he hired a male model to seduce her so he could leave her with nothing when he divorced her thanks to a fidelity clause in their prenup. She stayed faithful, but still murdered her husband anyway, just days before the prenup would expire on their tenth anniversary. When the detectives ask her why she didn't just wait and then divorce the bastard and take his money, she bitterly reminds them that the money was never what she was after.

Unwitting Instigator of Doom: The mother from "Happy Family". Had she not ranted about the divorce around their children and falsely claim that her soon-to-be ex-husband was going to send them back to their foreign orphanage after regaining custody of them and was trying to give them cancer through cell phones, the murder would not have happened.

Whispered Threat
 Law & Order: Criminal Intent / int_9a27e096
comment
Whispered Threat: Goren uses this trope a lot, but not usually as a threat. One early episode has him offering an inmate and his family Witness Protection in exchange for information to put a crime lord away. When the man rebuffs him, citing how strong the latter's reach is, Goren then invokes this trope by saying how he knows people who can put them in the program so deep that even he would be unable to find them. "Playing Dead" had a college-aged girl, forced to move back in with her estranged mother and stepfather due to receiving injuries from an assailant who also killed her boyfriend, end up being molested by her stepfather while she bathes. He soon begins to wash her himself while he whispers "You'll always be my girl" into her ear. The triggering effect of this causes the girl to attempt suicide.

My God, What Have I Done?: How the killer from "Identity Crisis" ended up feeling. He had killed his younger brother, who had just been released from prison for killing their mother twenty years prior when they were children and him fearing that he would screw up his new life and have him sent to prison, since he was older and more culpable in her death. Turns out, the brother was reaching out to him because he missed him and he was terminally ill. Furthermore, the brother never wanted to implicate him in their mother's death. When Goren explained this to him, it reduced him to tears.

Yoko Oh No: Discussed in "F.P.S." The one game developer believed that his partner's "girlfriend" (and the victim) was this, prompting him to kill her, but she was just a fan whom he had a platonic relationship with and wasn't trying to break them up, making the murder pointless. Interestingly enough, the other developer's wife plays the trope more straight, being rather jealous of their relationship status well as the third wheel in their successful business.

Believing Their Own Lies
 Law & Order: Criminal Intent / int_a1ca3743
comment
Believing Their Own Lies: "Homo Homini Lupis" had a woman and her two daughters, who had survived a harrowing ordeal of being kidnapped, having their lives threatened and the elder daughter being raped, insisting the event never happened to the point of both forgiving the husband/father who caused them to be kidnapped for collateral and refusing to identify their attackers. They eventually came to admit it, with Goren’s help. "Folie a Deux", as the title suggests, had a couple lose their daughter through kidnapping in a hotel and continuously stonewall investigators about her whereabouts and even her very appearance. Turns out, the little girl died accidentally from being left in a hot car with failed air conditioning months earlier and the father had already buried her on some property owned by his rich, elderly aunt. The father was aware of the truth, but the mother had felt so guilty about what happened (she was the one who put the baby in the car) that she began to believe the story they'd concocted to fool his aunt.

Marrying the Mark: Downplayed in the episode "Astoria Helen"; a charming con man Joe Gallagher gets into a serious relationship with a woman so he can use her computer and get the schedule for an armored truck, which he and his associates then rob. However, somewhere along the way he actually developed some level of feelings for her and her son, as he is genuinely concerned when the boy is kidnapped. In the episode "Grow", Goren's nemesis and notorious con artist and murderer Nicole Wallace was actually the victim of this trope - her latest husband knew her real identity and history and was intending to kill his daughter for her trust fund, and frame her for the murder.

Karma Houdini

comment
Karma Houdini: Since one of the sons in "To The Bone" ended up killing himself after being tricked into doing it by a criminal mastermind of an adopted mother, she ends up walking on at least eight different murders due to lack of evidence. Nicole Wallace. Repeatedly. And loving to brag about it to Goren. The day her Karma Houdini Warranty (apparently) expired would have been cheered more if not for the fact that Declan Gage (the guy who did it) was acting out of some really twisted version of "They Were Holding You Back" aimed towards Goren... and that this meant Frank also had to go. Paul Whitlock from "Magnificat" was clearly the one who pushed his already-struggling wife over the edge with his unceasing emotional abuse, leading to her decision to kill herself and their children, but because he wasn't involved in the murder itself, he couldn't be held criminally responsible for any of it. (Doubles as a case of There Should Be a Law for both Carver and Goren.) The Insufferable Genius world-famous conductor from "Dramma Giocoso". He was eventually proven innocent of the crime, but he still cared little about the long-suffering victim of the episode, stonewalled detectives in the case and ultimately abandoned his newlywed wife, the victim's mother and murderer, after it comes out that she has a debilitating medical condition that he wants no part of. The killer in "Proud Flesh" gets off the charges after his son confesses to protect him.

The Cobbler's Children Have No Shoes
 Law & Order: Criminal Intent / int_a7ddc88e
comment
The Cobbler's Children Have No Shoes: In "Shrink-Wrapped", the killer turns out to be the daughter of a psychologist and a psychiatrist. Both are extremely narcissistic (to the point where they once abandoned the girl in a restaurant on her birthday) and borderline psychotic in the masochistic games they play with each other. She is driven to kill simply to attract their attention. When Goren's mentor, a skilled if bizarre criminal profiler, comes to town to catch a killer he's been stalking for years in "Blind Spot". Turns out the murderer isn't the one he was looking for after all— it was his own daughter, warped into copying a serial killer because it was the only thing that would hold his attention, and she thought that if she could set herself up as part of the case, he'd finally pay attention to her. In a later episode, he kills nearly everyone Goren cares about (including himself) so that Goren can keep his mind on the job. Truly a paragon of sanity.

Legacy Seeker: Spencer Durning, the Villain of the Week in "Cold Comfort", is a humanitarian who intends to leave his mark on the world. Not only does he want his son to have a bright political future, but Spencer himself even intends to be cryogenically frozen, effectively making himself "immortal". However, Spencer's desperation to cure his son's early onset Alzheimer's takes him to the point of murder and blackmail in order to acquire the corpse of a man who had somehow managed to beat Alzheimer's by a fluke. In the episode's climax, Goren gives one of his trademark tirades, tearing into Spencer for his obsession with wanting to be remembered over his love for his own son, and that, for all his humanitarian work, he doesn't actually care about people.

Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: The culprit of "Please Note We Are No Longer Accepting Letters of Recommendation from Henry Kissinger" gunned down people to get her own son into a prestigious daycare after snapping because of the pressure and verbal abuse of her mother-in-law. During the final confrontation, Goren sympathizes with the culprit to prevent them from harming their hostages. When the culprit gives him the gun, he immediately roughly restrains them and has them arrested. When the culprit, sounding hurt, says she did it all for her child, he retorts that the people they murdered also had children.

Pyrrhic Victory
 Law & Order: Criminal Intent / int_ad9fbc1e
comment
Pyrrhic Victory: In "Loyalty," Ross's killer walks despite concrete proof against him, as the U.S. government needs him in order to catch a bunch of international Greater Scope Villains. However, he now has to live in paranoid fear of himself being betrayed and murdered in the same fashion as his victims. Also in "Death Roe". The killer is arrested in the end, but at the same time his daughter now has a tainted name and most likely will have the restaurant shut down by the Department of Health. She can't find work elsewhere, is left an emotionally damaged widow and he bursts out that no one will ever want her once the truth comes out.

I Ate WHAT?!: Downplayed in "The Unblinking Eye". While the detectives are speaking to a witness at a bar, Goren is eating a bowl of peanuts...only for the witness to admit that a young woman had stuck her hand in the bowl while she had some sort of ointment on top of a burn.note Which raises the question as to why she would leave the bowl out even after that? He responds to this by silently sliding the remaining peanuts in his hand back into the bowl.

Abusive Parents
 Law & Order: Criminal Intent / int_b11ac9f5
comment
Abusive Parents: An abundance of them, most of them seen to be something other than physically abusive and who usually end up being a Karma Houdini: Psychological abuse: "The Saint," "Shibboleth," "Magnificat"note although this one is primarily directed at the other parent, "Diamond Dogs". Neglect/Indifference: "Shrink-Wrapped," "Tru Love." Verbal abuse/Preferring one child over the other: "Beast," "Wrongful Life," "Unrequited", "Bedfellows," "Saving Face." Sexual abuse: "Death Roe," "Playing Dead." Other: The father from "Homo Homini Lupis," who embezzled from his company and took money from a loan shark to pay it back... which caused his family to be kidnapped for collateral and his elder daughter to be raped. He wasn't abusive per se (he clearly loved his family), but his actions proved him to be incredibly irresponsible at best. The biological parents from "The Good Child," who killed their daughter's adoptive parents and then tried to kill her as well so that they would inherit the payout from the adoptive parents' life insurance. Goren’s older half-brother, Frank, is implied to have been relatively scarce for most of his now-adult son's life. Even if she was sick with schizophrenia, it was still implied Mrs. Goren was this to her younger son, namely psychologically abusive and neglectful, in spite of him being the one who cared for her in her final months. Logan's first episode as a main cast member makes reference to him having been physically abused by his alcoholic mother, a fact that was established in the original series.

Retool
 Law & Order: Criminal Intent / int_b2283870

Retool: Started out focused entirely on the exploits of Goren and Eames until Vincent D'Onofrio began suffering exhaustion. After this, the show was retooled with Mike Logan (Chris Noth's character from the original L&O) being added and alternating every other episode with Goren and Eames. Things then stayed this way, though with Noth being replaced by Jeff Goldblum in season 8. This remained the formula until a Wham Episode that writes out Goren, Eames, and Captain Ross in one fell swoop, which caused the show to return to the original format but with Jeff Goldblum in the lead role. However, Goldblum decided to also leave the show at the end of season 9. This in turn led to Vincent D'Onofrio and Kathryn Erbe both returning for the 10th and final season, thus bringing the show full circle.

Brains and Brawn: Funnily enough, Eames is the muscle in her partnership with Goren. She's no slouch in the intellect department - she's shown to be much more computer-savvy than her partner - but she's physically very tough despite her size. Though it must be said that Goren himself, being both a police officer and a former military man, has proven to be more than capable of handling himself in a fight.

Based on a Great Big Lie: What allowed Jojo Rios, the main suspect in "Legion", to manipulate his young followers into doing his bidding: he told them that he was the lone survivor of a group of people sailing for America on a tiny, ramshackle boat from Cuba. In reality, he came to the country with his rapist father, and had been placed in foster care while his father was sent to prison. When the kids learn the truth, their loyalty to him is instantly broken.

Everyone Has Standards: Even for all of Eames' cranked-up snarkiness in "Cruise To Nowhere" (where she even made quips about the victim over his body while at his autopsy), she was genuinely disgusted that the suspect's mother traded him in as a child to her slain husband's bookkeeping partner for a maid and $10,000. She even told her partner, "I wanted to smack that woman!"

Deteriorates Into Gibberish: In "Blind Spot", criminologist Declan Gage plays a tape of someone being tortured by a serial killer, pointing out to Goren how the victim's speech grows increasingly incoherent as the pain and panic overwhelm them. In "Untethered", Goren is bound to a table and denied water for two days. He grows increasingly incoherent as the dehydration nearly kills him.

Take That!: The "Blasters" episode does this towards Saved by the Bell. The show that the victim starred in as an Expy called Goofin' Around. The victim himself is based on Screech/Dustin Diamond and his costar/friend being a composite of Zack/Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Slater/Mario Lopez. "Albatross" seems to have been based on Geraldine Ferraro, the politician who ran for Vice President in 1984 with Walter Mondale, and her husband, John Zaccaro. The story may be even more similar to that of Jeanine Pirro and her husband Albert.

comment
Hollywood Blanks: The culprit Josh Snow in "All In" was using these with his manually-loaded revolver to intimidate people for collections when he was down on his luck in his gambling. Then a shot kills the victim of the episode, and Josh claims it had to be a live round or muzzleloader situation to frame him up by the guy he's in debt to, Lou. Lou himself realistically assumes Josh fired too closely, which can still kill a person. In reality, Josh himself pulled off the muzzleloader trick via sleight of hand he learned with his bad gambling habits to cause a kill and cover up the incident as an accident so he could get Lou arrested for Revenge, manipulating his love interest and partner of an eyewitness, and the audience into thinking it was Lou with the trope's usual expectations. It takes Goren understanding not only Josh but also his hand tricks to crack the case.

Sadistic Choice: Holy hell, "Able & Willing." The perp takes couples prisoner, and one of the pair is forced to decide whether to kill the other or save them at the expense of their own life. The one forcing the choice is the son of a Holocaust survivor whose grandfather was forced into a similar choice and chose to save himself, and is trying to prove that it's "human nature" to save oneself in that scenario, thus absolving his grandfather of moral responsibility for that choice. The irony (that he's becoming the Nazi in that scenario) is entirely lost on him.

It's All About Me: Many suspects, but "The Unblinking Eye" in particular has the suspect kill his so-called fiancée because she was getting more acting gigs than he was, try to pin the blame on a "jealous" ex-girlfriend (on whom he cheated with the victim) and both sabotage his best friend's chance to be famous and manipulate him into doing the actual murder, all so he can be famous. The suspect from "Blink" is a professional gambler and thrill-seeker who constantly risks his own life to the point that it shocks his heartbroken wife into thinking that he could be killed any day. He ultimately decides that it would be best to get police protection from the dangerous people he has been involved with, not for his wife and their son, but for himself.

Minor Crime Reveals Major Plot: Doubled. Murder is hardly a minor crime, but the reasons behind it always end up being far more complicated than was hinted at in the opening sequence. In at least one episode, a female business executive is framed for murder. The murder and the frame-up were minor details in a vast conspiracy at her corporation. It would have made the crooked CEO much wealthier, and would have bankrupted nearly everyone who had invested in the company.

Break Them by Talking: A favorite tactic of Goren's is to either play psychological mind games or confront the perp of the week with evidence of what a truly pathetic and inadequate person they really are until they crack. Another variation by Goren. Some of the perps and suspects have learned to rely on their loved ones or on close partners. Goren either reveals that the loved ones had already betrayed them or that they had plans to betray them. The despairing or infuriated perps quit trying to maintain secrecy, and reveal incriminating information while screaming.

Big "NO!"
 Law & Order: Criminal Intent / int_c2cedc1c
comment
Big "NO!": Done by Goren while interrogating Nicole Wallace and trying to get her to admit the truth about her past and her involvement in a recent murder. Logan also had one in "To The Bone" after learning that someone he thought was a thug pulling a gun on him and had shot in self-defense was an undercover cop, who later died. The murderer from "Inert Dwarf" shouted a few of these upon being arrested, seeing how he just lost his family, his freedom and his reputation in one fell swoop.

True Companions: The firefighters in "Maltese Cross". Even before he sent Logan and Wheeler back to the firehouse to speak with the slain firefighter's team about new evidence regarding his sexuality, Ross distinctively asks Logan to tread lightly when bringing it up, citing this trope and how much their camaraderie differs from the police's. Unfortunately, with Logan being Logan, he doesn't listen and the situation goes as poorly as one would expect.

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Played with in "The Healer" when the detectives interviewing a suspect's ex-husband, who shortly after their divorce came down with a mysterious illness that gave him a curious rash and made him lose twenty pounds due to being sick and then Logan himself ends up with a rash of unknown origins after being in contact with her. That and other information about her and those involved with her ending up dead, sick or in some other form of misfortune lead them to believe that she really did have magic powers. Logan's condition turned out to be innocuous, as she merely exposed him to poison ivy. What happened to the husband is not clear; while there's presumably a mundane explanation, the detectives, and therefore the viewers, never learn what it is.

Incriminating Indifference
 Law & Order: Criminal Intent / int_cd33644f
comment
Incriminating Indifference: "The Good Doctor" had the missing woman's husband acting aloof in regards to her disappearance because he believed that she had run off and so he can move on with his mistress. This attitude angered her family and eventually caused the investigators to consider him a suspect. "Beast" had a dentist who was more concerned with himself and his practice than in finding out who killed his wife. Turns out, he wasn't guilty of killing her, but his former girlfriend killed her with the same poison she correctly believes he had killed her sister. In “Poison� one woman’s rather flippant attitude about her husband dying from medication tainted with cyanide sets off alarm bells. Turns out she had poisoned the medication herself and planted other tainted bottles in stores, resulting in several other people dying, so she could sue the company that made the medicine and use the money to open a children’s clothing store.

Lighter and Softer: As far as the Law & Order universe goes; while the crimes are no less shocking, it gives perspectives on who the criminals are and what makes them tick and why they resorted to the actions they did. Also, many a criminal end up with a Villainous Breakdown or tearful confession and true monsters are rare (but still exist), and the cases rarely touch upon the prosecution that would have to follow besides as a matter-of-fact need for evidence throughout the case, often leaving the audience with at least a positive assumption of conviction.

Speak Ill of the Dead: A witness from "Sound Bodies" said that the three boys who had drowned some months earlier deserved it, believing that they were the ones with no respect for the dead since they were taking a boat over to an island to hang out and drink at a cemetery on the island, even saying that they thought it would "be fun to cavort around with the dead". Turns out, he had every right to be angry with them, but not for the reasons he thought; while he just believed that they were some punk teenagers, they were in reality rapists who took advantage of their female classmates while drunk.

What the Hell, Hero?: For the entire unit; a black drug dealer suspect points out that the crime they're investigating wouldn't be "high priority" if a white tourist hadn't gotten caught in the crossfire. In "The Last Street in Manhattan," Eames and Goren make a witness believe her father has been murdered to get her to spill the beans on what she knows. Eames ends the charade with a very unconvincing "We hated to do this to you, but" speech.

Sympathy for the Devil: Goren feels this way for the killer in "Want" who not only murdered but also ate his victims' calf muscles. The fact that he both was truly horrified by his crimes and tearfully confessed to them, stating that he only wanted someone to love, resulted in him receiving a life sentence, to Eames and Carver's chagrin. Some time later, as the detectives and Carver are working on another case in the latter's office, Carver receives notice that he was killed by another inmate in prison. While the men express looks of disappointment and somewhat shock, Eames just quips that now everyone got what they wanted.

Paul Whitlock from "Magnificat" was clearly the one who pushed his already-struggling wife over the edge with his unceasing emotional abuse, leading to her decision to kill herself and their children, but because he wasn't involved in the murder itself, he couldn't be held criminally responsible for any of it. (Doubles as a case of There Should Be a Law for both Carver and Goren.)

Refuge in Audacity: The detectives have used this with getting suspects to confess. In "Conscience" they used flash cards from the long-standing semi-comatose wife to trick the suspect into confessing and in "Legion", they used a picture of a now-dead accomplice taken while he was in a coma and claiming that he had survived to get his boss to admit to his crimes.

In a later episode, a friend of Logan's learns that he's been poisoned and escapes the hospital (where he was about to be put under quarantine) to run to Major Case and ask Logan to solve his murder.

Hollywood Atheist

comment
Hollywood Atheist: A suspect in "Brother's Keeper" was seen as this. He had long since given up his faith in God and turned virulently against religion because his son was born mentally disabled. Turns out, he had killed the victim (a former friend and love interest), because she had told her televangelist husband about this. The husband used the information as a platform to explain God's "ultimate plan", and the atheist felt betrayed. Averted with Nichols, who was merely raised atheist. It's only mentioned once and he never expresses strong feelings on the subject of religion. Also averted with the atheists in "Eosphoros" (a woman, her son, and her other son's daughter), who never suggest that they're atheist for any specific reason, it's just the belief system they happen to have.

comment
False Confession: In "Stress Position", the Victim of the Week was a prison guard who was murdered by his shift supervisor who was worried that he might be about to spill the beans regarding the mistreatment of the 'off-the-books' prisoners in the secure wing. He then gave enough information about the killing to make a believable confession to an ex-con he knew to be a serial confessor, and pointed Goren and Ames at the ex-con as someone who had beef with the guard. The ex-con immediately confesses when Goren and Ames confront him, but Goren gets suspicious because the man was packed up and ready to go back to prison before they arrived at his apartment.

Red Herring: Whenever the killer isn't revealed immediately, the episode will spend much time teasing the viewer is as to who it is, making certain that everyone is presented as a viable suspect. For example, in one episode, all signs point to a disabled man's Trophy Wife being physically abusive to him and the murderer of the man's academic rival. It turns that despite her social climbing ways, she's completely innocent on both counts— the man's actually an Evil Cripple who's been trying to frame her.

Never Bring a Friend to an Audition: Deconstructed in "The Unblinking Eye". Two aspiring actors and best friends go on auditions when one, on his own, is hired as an extra in a Matt Damon film. The night before he begins shooting, his friend ends up violently ill in the ER and he remains at his side, where he eventually admits to the staff that he intentionally made himself sick with ipecac, all in an effort to sabotage his "friend" out of jealousy. The end result has him too tired and unfocused to deliver his lines on the set, he eventually walked off in embarrassment, and his role was cut from the film.

comment
Continuity Snarl: This was a common complaint of the later seasons given the Genre Shift and rotating characters/blurry character motivations, but a prime example would be the season 8 episode "All In." To follow, it was an ostensible continuation of the season 5 episode "Cruise To Nowhere," but unless the slight similarities were pointed out, most fans missed the connection. This was because the character's name was unnecessarily changed from Joey Frost to Josh Snow; additionally, characters, plot lines and personality between both episodes were either left murky or forgotten all together (like Joey/Josh becoming more methodical and aware instead of just street smart with little to no skills at being an adult and no mention of the mother from before), and the character went from being in his early 20s initially to being in his late 20s to early 30s in the later episode.

Bernard Fremont from "Slither" has a thing for beautiful and fit younger blondes. If they weren't already blonde, he would arrange for their hair to be dyed as such.

 Law & Order: Criminal Intent / int_e28f88b8
comment
Last-Name Basis: For whatever reason, it's much more common here than in other Law & Order series. Though she's not entirely adverse to using his first name, Eames generally calls her partner "Goren". Goren, however, almost never calls his partner Alex, to the point where if he does, it's an indication that something's out of the ordinary. Logan is generally called by his last name, but both Barek and Wheeler still call him Mike once in a while. He, on the other hand, exclusively calls his partners by their last names. (In fact, Barek's first name is spoken exactly once in the series, by Barek herself.) Wheeler tends to go back and forth between first and last name for Nichols, though she leans more towards his last name earlier on and starts using the first name more as they become closer over the course of the season. For his part, he manages to go an entire season without calling her by any name, at least onscreen. Averted by Nichols and Stevens; the pair very rarely address each other by name at all, but on the rare occasion they do, it's with first names. Nichols is also the only Major Case detective to ever call Ross by his first name, likely a lingering habit from when they used to be partners.

Yiddish as a Second Language: A season two episode is named "Shandeh", which is Yiddish for "Shame".

She was the one person with whom Nicole was in contact that she didn’t kill, try to kill, send to prison, or otherwise ruin. Instead, she actually tried to protect Gwen from her father's attempts to kill her (in order to get his hands on her trust fund), and, after the father went to prison, ultimately left Gwen in the care of a relative, after Goren helped her see that she couldn't truly trust herself not to hurt Gwen.

Deus Angst Machina: Goren qualifies, if anyone does. Let's see... his schizophrenic mother hates him, even though he's the only one who takes care of her; his drug-addicted brother gets all the love from their mother; his father - who treated him like shit anyway - turns out not to be his real father; and his biological father turns out to be a murderer, who then gets executed, which on the show NEVER HAPPENS. He gets persecuted by the FBI, ends up in a mental hospital, and gets (temporarily) fired, not to mention his health and good looks go to shit, too. This is only a partial list of all the shit that goes down. If anyone can be accused of provoking the wrath of the writer-deities, this character would be definitely be it. The unrelenting, unceasing suffering that occurs was enough to make many fans stop watching the show, out of sheer disgust. Quite literally, Goren's relationship with his partner (however you choose to interpret it) is the only thing he has going for him — no wonder she's his Berserk Button! If anyone earned a happy ending they never got, it's Goren. Shoot the Shaggy Dog, already. Even his relationship with Eames was messed with. When Goren goes undercover in season 7 (without her knowing beforehand), Eames almost shoots him in the face when the police raid the apartment. The resulting shouting match puts a strain on their partnership for a long time, though they eventually recover.

Determinator
 Law & Order: Criminal Intent / int_e567510d
comment
Determinator "Consumed" is about two married Determinators going head-to-head during their divorce. The husband has hidden fifteen million dollars in an offshore account. In order to avoid giving any of it to his wife, he spends six years in jail for contempt of court, which Goren says is a record for New York. The wife, meanwhile, has a secret life as a private investigator trying to track down the money. Goren and Eames find a storage unit (which Goren calls her "Batcave") filled with disguises, photography equipment, and even adult diapers that she uses on stakeouts because she can't risk missing anything. The detectives are stunned at the lengths to which these two will go to get the better of the other. (And it turns out the wife, by committing the murders that open the episode, had gotten access to the money, but she burns the notebook with the bank account numbers because she doesn't care about the money; beating her husband was all that mattered anymore.) In "The Saint", Stephen Colbert plays James Bennett, a man who spent thirty years setting up the religious group that "took advantage" of his mentally unwell mother. He's smart enough to fool historical experts, and could've succeeded in pretty much any intellectual field. Goren says that if the foundation hadn't screwed over Bennett's mother, he would not have been so determined, which he seems to accept.

Flanderization: Both Goren and Logan went through this is different ways. Whereas the former was initially seen as an intelligent and quirky detective who could read people who devolved into someone with mental issues with inconsistent social skills the latter, who was seen as Cowboy Cop who lost his cool from time to time in the first series, denigrated years and a division change later into a regular hothead and troublemaker.

Talking the Monster to Death: A notable version occurs in "Blind Spot", as Goren has no conclusive evidence to link Jo Gage to the murder of many women and Eames' torture. He succeeds in getting them to confess in a few well-chosen lines about her father's belief that there will never be a female serial killer.

No Ending
 Law & Order: Criminal Intent / int_ea2e9f2d
comment
No Ending: Criminal Intent doesn't indulge in this as much as SVU, but there are several episodes that end this way. One of the most notable cases is "Flipped." Logan and Wheeler get the perp, a cop killer, but he is murdered by an undercover cop while the guards at Rikers turn the other way. The episode ends with the cop walking away. "The Good Doctor" ends with the eponymous character convicted, but it's still not entirely clear whether or not he did it. In "To The Bone", the detectives' only cooperating witness commits suicide just after making his statement. With him dead, there's no evidence to convict the other killers or the mastermind behind them, and the last scene implies they're going to be released.

"Beast" has a woman with two daughters, one being very pretty and talented, who got all the glory in life and is now worshiped by the mother years after her death; the other is rather plain, lived in her sister's shadow, and was and is constantly put down by their mother. This treatment led her to be involved with two murders years later, including that of her own sister.

Spotting the Thread
 Law & Order: Criminal Intent / int_ec0ce986

Spotting the Thread: Obviously, all the detectives are good in seeing the tiny flaw in a case that leads to the truth. In "Faith," Goren is already suspicious of the stories of Erica, a sick girl whose blog and best-selling book have made her a star. There are numerous donations to her family...despite there being no photos of the girl. On the phone with Erica, Goren asks questions on her condition, such as how the ALS has affected her menstrual cycle. Her mother cuts in on how this is an "attack" and hangs up. Rather than be upset, Eames and Deakins are able to tell with Goren that "Erica" should have answered such questions on her health with ease. That she couldn't means that she doesn't even exist.

Oddball in the Series
 Law & Order: Criminal Intent / int_f068cba

Oddball in the Series: Initially, this series was more or less a downplayed version of such, as it was didn't follow the Law & Order tradition of being an ensemble show, focusing solely on Goren instead and was the only show that neither McCoy nor Munch ever made an appearance (McCoy was referenced in "Semi-Professional," but Munch was never mentioned). However around season six, this trope became more blatant, beginning with the loss of the "Order" part of the series (and with him, the only regular cast member of color), the lack of the title cards as well as the accompanying "DUN-DUN!" sound heard during them and the changing personalities of the criminals, their motives and the members of the Major Case Squad themselves.

Inside it, she relives the same day every day, over and over again.

Undying Loyalty: In the Season 9 opener, not only does Eames fight with Nichols about investigating Goren over the murders, but she accepts the captain's post only long enough to ensure that she's the one who fires Goren (so she knows he will be treated well in the exit interview). Once he leaves, she resigns rather than stay without her beloved partner. The episode is even called "Loyalty," a reference both to the MCS detectives' loyalty to their captain and the partners' loyalty to each other.

Never Found the Body: Nicole Wallace, though what is believed to be her heart is found. Interesting case, as Goren refuses to believe that she's dead despite proof. And according to Word of God and Word of Saint Paul, he's right. The bodies of the husband and his mistress from "Betrayed" are never located. In part due to Captain Ross' personal feelings and interference with the investigation. The philandering wife from "The Good Doctor" was never found, in spite of a ploy by the police that she was at one point. The son-in-law from "Death Roe" is a subversion. He was murdered and butchered by his father-in-law and had his remains disposed of through cooking utensils, including a meat grinder, which were then thrown away and replaced. All that remained were some surgical screws from his leg.

Gold Digger: "Phantom" and "Wrongful Life" had two women who ended up being this. The former was a traditional social-climber who got mixed up with a man who, unbeknownst to her, was leading a double life, and strangled her and left her for dead when it seemed his secret would come out. The latter was more of the scheming variety; she became pregnant by a wealthy man, and after one obstetrician suggested there might be a defect (ultimately turned out to be spina bifda), she went out of her way to find a doctor who wouldn't advise her to abort because she wanted the father to marry her. Though the father truly loved that child (as well as the son that they had later), the mother saw them only as a means to an end, and after the father died, she refused to take care of her physically disabled daughter.

Complexity Addiction: Several of the perps seem to suffer from this. For example, the killer in "Consumed" kills three men and frames her neighbor, a cop with a sleepwalking problem, for the murders, just so she could get information from one of them regarding money her ex-husband was withholding from her. And then she didn't even go after the money; she destroyed the information so neither of them could access it. Oh, and on top of all of that, the frame job didn't stand up to even the slightest bit of scrutiny. Nicole Wallace sometimes edges into this, as she frequently tries to hide not only her identity, but the fact that her victims were murdered at all.

comment
Handy Cuffs: Used at least twice: A former military suspect asks to be cuffed in front out of respect for his family. He then grabs a gun off one of the officers and kills himself. This is immediately after attempting to kill himself and being stopped by the officers who arrested him. One wonders why they thought that was a good idea. Justified when the police handcuff a deaf man with his hands in front, since handcuffing him with his hands behind his back would be akin to gagging him.

comment
Psychopathic Womanchild: The killer from "Poison" had shades of this: she lacked the sense of empathy that most adults possessed and looked at the world by only her terms, threw tantrums when she didn't get her way (and even had one upon being arrested by clinging onto a countertop, forcing the detectives to pry her hands off of it) and smacked around a baby doll after being told her mother's arrest for the poisonings ended her deal with a clothing store she hoped to own. She even admitted to her mother that she only married her recently-deceased husband so that she wouldn't pass judgment on her for sleeping around with him beforehand.

comment
Dark Secret: In "Monster", a parolee's mother finds evidence that, in addition to the crime he was convicted of, her son committed a rape that a group of boys was serving time for. The cop who worked the original case didn't want it coming out that he had essentially browbeaten the boys into false confessions, so he killed the mother to keep her quiet. The funeral home in "Dead" had one: they would charge grieving families for the services, only to oversell them for fake ashes and hide the bodies on their grounds. "A Murderer Among Us" began with a woman committing suicide in an elaborate way which leads detectives to discover that her husband was a serial killer of Jewish men in the same way she died; she did it to get him arrested for the murders and to protect their daughter from him. Goren's mother had a several-years-long affair with a man who turned out to be a serial killer, which ended only when he snapped one day and violently assaulted her. What's more, the timing of the affair was such that she was never sure whether Goren was her husband's child or the product of her affair. A DNA test ultimately reveals him to be the latter.

Good Adultery, Bad Adultery: The suspect and victim from "The Good Doctor" both had affairs in their marriage, but since he was portrayed as a Jerkass and abusive (apparently), his cheating was much worse than hers was, in spite of her being an addict with mental health issues. She could have easily ran off on her husband, though the episode had no conclusive evidence on her fate.

Sorrowful Stutter: Subverted in "The Unblinking Eye"; at a vigil for his slain girlfriend, a man engaged in this trope when trying to recite a Robert Frost poem . He eventually gets overwhelmed as his best friend consoles him. His "grieving" was just an audition to show off his acting chops. It soon comes out that he killed his girlfriend because she was a more talented actor than he was, and so had more potential for success.

Accidental Murder: A variation in "Albatross". During a reenactment of the Hamilton-Burr duel, a sniper was supposed to take out one of the two men, the obnoxious and psychologically abusive husband of a Senator, but the actors ended up switching roles at the last minute (and the sniper was too far away to make out the features of the pair, so he was basing his target on their costumes), so the other guy ended up being killed instead.

Will They or Won't They?
 Law & Order: Criminal Intent / int_fdc1e848
comment
Will They or Won't They?: The season 9 opener, where Goren and Eames both left the show, was left a bit open-ended in this regard, making this a case of No Romantic Resolution. It was definitely stated that they would see each other outside of the workplace, but the exact direction the relationship would take was not clarified. This was done so that those who ship them can believe that they will, and those who don't want them together romantically can believe that they won't. Of course, then The Bus Came Back and proved that they did not become a couple. And then season 10 (and the series) ended with an equally open-ended possibility of them eventually getting together. Eames later guest-starred on SVU, where it was implied that they weren't together, although she did take on some of Goren's personality traits (and the whole head-tilting thing he does).

comment
You Called Me "X"; It Must Be Serious: Eames occasionally addresses Goren as "Bobby," but he very rarely calls her "Alex." When he does, it gets her attention fast. Also worth mentioning that they call each other "Detective" when they're really miffed. Logan and Wheeler also get an instance of this in "Players", when Logan asks Wheeler if she's okay after she learns that her father's body might be in a mass grave site on a mob killing field.
