Shaw helps a man on the edge of committing suicide, only to have it come back on him in the worst ways. Law & Order Season 23 Episode 6, “On the Ledge,” opens the conversation about making choices and then regretting them.
If the man you saved goes on to shoot up a hospital, are you the one to blame? It’s definitely what Shaw is thinking, requiring Riley to recenter his partner so they can stop the man’s actions.
