Ep 6. The Final Adjustment

The NYPD Blue season 2 episode 6, titled "The Final Adjustment," follows the detectives of the 15th precinct as they investigate the murder of a therapist.

The episode opens with Sipowicz and Kelly arriving at the scene of the crime. The victim, Dr. Richard Lowe, was found dead in his office, and the detectives quickly discover that he was bludgeoned to death with a bronze statue. As they begin to investigate, they learn that Dr. Lowe was treating several patients for anxiety and depression, including a woman named Elizabeth Keenan.

Elizabeth tells the detectives that she had been seeing Dr. Lowe for several months, and that she had developed feelings for him. She explains that she went to his office on the night of the murder, but didn't kill him. While Kelly believes her story, Sipowicz is more skeptical and begins to dig deeper.

Meanwhile, Medavoy and Martinez are investigating the stabbing of a young woman in Central Park. They learn that the victim, Lisa, was a drug user and had been staying with her ex-boyfriend, Tony, who is now missing. When Tony's apartment is searched, they find a bloody knife and a note that suggests he was responsible for the attack.

The two cases begin to intersect when it is discovered that Tony was also a patient of Dr. Lowe's. The detectives begin to investigate his background and discover that he had a history of violence and had been arrested for assaulting a previous therapist. As they dig deeper, they learn that Dr. Lowe had been covering up Tony's violent tendencies, and that he may have been more responsible for Lisa's attack than they initially thought.

As the detectives work to solve both cases, tensions rise between Sipowicz and Kelly. Sipowicz continues to pursue Elizabeth as a suspect, while Kelly is convinced of her innocence. The two clash over their differing opinions, but eventually come together to solve the case.

In the end, the killer is revealed and justice is served. The detectives are left to ponder the complex cases they have just solved, and the toll their work takes on their personal lives.
