Episode Notes - EDIT EPISODE
This episode marks the first of a series of guest appearances by Mary McDonnell. In 2002 she was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for her Season 8 portrayal of Eleanor Carter.

This episode is a homage to the film Rashomon. It presents the events of a single day through the eyes of four characters: Weaver, Benton, Carter and Greene.

Quotes:
Abby and Carter are at Carter's Grandpa's funeral. Abby notices that the birdbath is broken.
Abby: You're going to have some dirty birds.
Carter: Grandpa liked to drive the power lawn mower around.
Abby: Into the birdbath?
Carter: Not on purpose... he was having a fatal MI at the time.
Abby: (laughs) I'm sorry.
Carter: Gotta die somehow. Not a bad way to go. Sunny day.... out on the mower (they both start to laugh) Don't, don't laugh.
Abby: Then stop it!

Abby: Nice suit! Who died?
Carter: My grandfather.
Abby: Sorry..., I didn't know.

Greene: [He was]...eaten by dogs.
Corday: Eaten by dogs? In Chicago?
Greene: It happens, alot! A cop told me.

Romano: (To Weaver) You might want to try Papua New Guinea for your next big adventure. I hear they put gourds on their penises.
