The sixth season of Law & Order aired on NBC between September 20, 1995, and May 22, 1996.
Rey Curtis (played by Benjamin Bratt) replaced season five's Mike Logan (Chris Noth) in the role of junior detective. This change left District Attorney Adam Schiff (played by Steven Hill) as the only remaining member of the series' cast from the first season. Hill was not an original member of the cast, as his character replaced D.A. Alfred Wentworth (played by Roy Thinnes) from the original pilot, "Everyone's Favorite Bagman". Paul Robinette (played by original cast member Richard Brooks) returns in the episode "Custody", his first guest appearance after his departure after season three.
Briscoe and his new partner, Det. Reynaldo Curtis (Bratt), investigate the murder of a young girl who disappeared between school and her music lesson, with a blurry film from an ATM as their clue.
Briscoe and Curtis try to solve a co-ed's murder after a graphic description appears online, while McCoy finds himself up against a lawyer who is reluctant to reveal elements of her client's past.
A mother, claiming that her baby was kidnapped while she was at confession, retraces her steps and actions with Curtis, which raises legal questions later when her attorney introduces a unique defense.
The victim in a 30-year-old rape and stabbing case is fearful when information received by Briscoe and Curtis creates the possibility of a new trial for the perpetrator.
A subway station gas attack, similar to one that took place in a Baltimore church five years earlier, brings Baltimore homicide detectives Tim Bayliss and Frank Pembleton to New York to assist Briscoe and Curtis in apprehending the prime suspect in both incidents.
This episode begins a crossover with Homicide: Life on the Street that concludes in "For God and Country". It is included on the third disc of the Season Six DVD set.
