Finally! The episode of Law & Order featuring the return of Benjamin Bratt as Detective Rey Curtis airs tonight. Here's a preview, showing Bratt and S. Epatha Merkerson:

The show airs at 8 p.m. and the plot is: "As election day rapidly approaches, Detectives Cyrus Lupo (Jeremy Sisto) and Kevin Bernard (Anthony Anderson) discover the disfigured remains of a man with the word 'FED' written across his bare chest. Missing a crucial piece of evidence, the detectives decide to retrace the steps of the victim, a campaign volunteer, to hone in on the challenging investigation. After the victim's perplexing past emerges and the list of suspects multiplies, the detectives find themselves dealing with more than just dirty politics."

We're all aware that this was based on a true story, right?

Oh spoiler alert! .. it ended up being ruled a suicide.

Bratt looks like he lost a good amount of weight since the last time I saw him on TV, and not in a good way.

I haven't seen an episode (new) in ages. I saw this one and was moved at the end. Honestly though...Anthony Anderson? All the new characters are detestable.

He's been on the show for awhile now.

LOL, I know he's been on a while, but in the grand scheme of things, the majority of the cast has been replaced in the last 3 years. Which is how Law and Order has always been but it never gets any less sad.
