[edit] Plot summary

Investigating the murder of a Catholic church sexton, Goren and Eames uncover his long-standing disagreement with a local street punk, as well as evidence of embezzlement within the church.

[edit] Quotes

Deakins: Great. The Goren Show's back in town.

Eames: After 18 years in foster care, Kevin turns up an uncle.
Goren: Touching, isn't it?

Eames: We're the NYPD. We lie all the time. And we're good at it.

Deakins: What about you? Any dazzling insights you'd like to share?
Goren: Uh... no.

Attorney: This is pure harassment.
Eames: You have no idea how many times a day we hear that.

Eames: You thinking of converting? 'Cause I think Father Capan would love to baptise you.
Goren: Too late. You're talking to a lapsed alter boy.
Eames: I should have known. Disregard for authority, the fascination with bad behavior...

[edit] Foreshadowing

Goren responds to a compliment on his treatment of the mentally ill Howard by saying that he has had "lots of practice" in his life. This remark is borne out later in the series with the introduction of his schizophrenic mother.
