"The War at Home" is a sixth season episode of the television series Law & Order: Criminal Intent.

Plot summary

In this episode, Detectives Goren and Eames are called to investigate when the daughter of the first deputy commissioner of the NYPD goes missing on Thanksgiving holiday. The investigation takes a turn for the worse when the young woman, a soldier and Iraq war veteran, is discovered slain and tossed in a solitary place. Her murder appears to be terror related until detectives look below the surface. Meanwhile, Goren struggles with a personal crisis when his ailing mother, Frances (whom we see for the first time in the series), is in a hospital being treated for cancer and paranoid behavior, which causes him loss of temper and an eventual crisis with his partner Eames and Captain Ross.
