Next I watched LAW & ORDER: CI, a volatile episode concerning the death of a doctor who was performing operations for the hearing impaired. The episode began with some very atmospheric silent scenes as we watched the action through the person of a deaf woman. Unfortunately, this was dropped after the opening few moments, but it might have been more effective if the writers could have figured some way to do the entire episode through the eyes of a deaf person.
A detective in the major case squad who served as the deaf translator seemed to have eyes for Detective Eames. This may be the beginning of a personal life for her.
