Happy Family is a third season episode of the television series Law & Order: Criminal Intent.

[edit] Plot summary

Detective Goren and temporary partner Bishop are called to examine the murder of a wealthy patriarch who had been savagely beaten to death.

Although at this time, Goren does not have any substantial evidence but only the feeling that he found his murderer, as the investigation is focused in a family list of suspects which includes the victim's soon-to-be ex-wife, the nanny who cared for the couple's adopted Romanian sons, as well the suspicious aunt and uncle of the children.

After Goren goes deeper into the family's past, his only hope of sorting out the clutter of possible killers is to call for a family reunion which takes place in a court room.
