The second season of the crime drama features Dets. Robert Goren (Vincent D'Onofrio) and Alexandra Eames (Kathryn Erbe) tackling an assortment of complicated cases, beginning with a mortician's murder that may not be quite as open-and-shut as it seems. Other episodes find the pair investigating the deaths of a university president and his assistant; uncovering a terrorist plot; analyzing the murder of a psychiatrist; and digging into the deaths of an ex-con millionaire's wife and lawyer. Guest stars include Karen Black, Joel Grey, Linda Lavin, Lee Tergesen and Olivia D'Abo, who makes her first two (of five) appearances as Goren's arch-nemesis, Nicole Wallace.
