When two major characters from previous seasons (George Castle and James Steele) leave but aren't mentioned in the very next episode it is off-putting. And there is no introduction to their replacements. That overshadowed any merits this episode had (although there seems to have been more gallows humor injected. No pun intended.)

A teenage girl had just admitted to hospital due to a sore throat, probably turned into pneumonia. Four hours later her father is a little worried about the situation and he got in the ward where doctors told him his daughter had just passed away. It was the third strange death occurred in the hospital so police was called to find out something more. Several doctors in the hospital confirmed she wasn't showing any serious symptoms, but they felt like pass the parcel each other. Anyway the doctor (Hugh Skinner) accountable for losing main notes involving the dead patient is brought in before he managed to run away by train. Detectives are shocked when they figure out he's not a real doctor, but a chiropodist who had stolen someone else's identity. Anyway he committed a fraud, but he's not in charge to hospital prescription: someone well above him in hierarchy has to take the fall.

An ER investigation, not so common in Law & Order Franchise, that show up secrets hidden beneath what appears to be a normal hospital. At the end the message is: people aren't equal before the law.
