Was there a continuation to this Law & Order episode?

Last night I watched a re-run of one of the zillion Law & Order spin offs.

This episode had to do with prostitution. The governor died of a hear attack while getting a massage but drugs were suspected as well. There was some kind of madam that set up the prostitutes trysts but also has a goat cheese farm.

Towards the end of the episode the Law & Order gang are warned that they didn’t know how deep this scandal ran, and that they were playing with fire.

The last scene of the show was Cragen waking up in bed with blood on his hands and a [dead] woman with her throat cut next to him. The end, roll credits.

WTF?:confused:

There was no “To be continued” or anything. Was there more to that scene? The next episode played had nothing to do with that one! So what happened next?

I taped out of the show long before that but it looks like that was the season ending cliffhanger. It was continued as explained here.

ETA: It’s extremely annoying when they don’t run syndicated reruns in order.

It was continued, and as I recall, the madam was played by Brooke “it rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again” Smith.

This. The OP is describing the cliffhanger at the end of season 13 (which my wife and I also watched last night). It was such a ‘holy shit’ ending that I too browsed future Tivo listings and didn’t see the season 14 opener (“Lost Reputation”) coming up anytime in the next two weeks. I ended up buying it on Amazon Instant so we could watch it right away. Instant gratification, ya know?

I’m never going to watch SUV.

How did it end? Whodunnit?

And I was glad to see Det. Mayhem is still around. If they could have kept him and lost (un)Stabler I might have stuck with the show.

Hilarious. That is exactly what I exclaimed out loud when I saw it. My wife was in the kitchen and she was like :What? What happened!".

Thanks for the link. And no kidding about syndicateds not being run in order. I wonder if they do that just to screw with people.

I saw the same rerun last night. It was immediately followed by another episode…but not the one that should have followed it sequentially. :mad: So thanks pkbites for starting this thread, because I was also wondering what happened next. :slight_smile:

Funny thing I’ve noticed with some syndicated shows- they run sort of in order, but by the timeslot. That is, if you watch only the 8pm episodes they’re in order, and so are the 9 pm epiodes. But the 8pm episodes
(and why don’t the Law and Order packages ever include the Homicide half of the crossovers?)

I am watching Law and Order:SVU and a recent episode was about the Kelly Giddish character’s sister, who is a prostitute who stabbed a couple of people and so on. The episode ended with her sister in jail saying she was going to use all kinds of negative information about KG as part of a plea deal (and that her attorney was going to marry her). Is there a follow-up to that episode? I am watching them in order.

Worst thing is when the story is spread across several franchises, eg Criminal Intent, SVU, Chicago PD, Chicago Fire, etc. Good luck connecting those dots up in reruns!
