That son going "YOU!?" got me. Felt that. 👏🏽

[afriendlypoltergeist]

"this is grief talking"
"this is ME talking!"

i relally loved that part, because it showed that the husband didnt see her as a person capable of doing anything else other than following him blindly.

Fun fact: The actors who play the father and son are father and son in real life.

His wife stole that scene. When she said what were you gonna call him. Her husband didn't know what to say. She Nailed it.

[Suzette]

How that man had no remorse for it, thats even more terrifying

[Rose-xype]

I felt so sorry for the wife. A lousy husband and losing her son who she clearly loves. Poor woman.

[demarcusfaulkner]

Talk about keeping it in the family. These are some very sick people.

" My husband, my soon to be former husband fornicating with his son's wife"

[arianaajbeaverhausen]

So if the son hadn't killed his wife she would have gone on to have his son-brother? Happy families huh 😳😁

Law & Order dealt with a lot of creepy and disgusting plotlines over their years. This is one of the creepiest. I wanna take a shower after that scene.

For those looking for a Biblical source, here it is: "You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter in law; she is your son's wife you shall not uncover her nakedness." Leviticus 18:15

[RockDay-wvjq]

I know it's all acting, but man, I cannot blame that guy for being angry at his father. I would have been furious too.

[GailGurman]

Technically, he wouldn't be fathering his own grandchild unless he impregnated his daughter. His daughter-in-law's child would not be his grandchild unless fathered by his son.

[lashlarue]

Making babies with the daughter-in-law...how biblical, definitely old testament :)

[gonnadestroymattsass]

the mother waited 2 years to tell the son and work on a divorce? Not nearly as bad as the father, but you aren't helping your son either

[gevans]

The way the guy said "my father" in such a soft and broken manner really gets me.

[delpicsla]

But as messed up as what he did was, it wasn’t illegal. The only one in legal trouble is the son for killing his wife

[mercedyzmarieguion]

Robert Foxworth played this part VERY WELL.
He should have AT LEAST received an Emmy nomination.
His portrayal here is
COLD TO THE MAX!!!
He blindsided his son and his wife with a calmness that really HAS to be seen to believed.
Almost chilling how he CALMLY explains to his wife that the son killed his wife AND how he CALMLY told her she was being hysterical due to her grief.
Chilling.
Foxworth has really blossomed the past 25 years into a real GEM of an actor especially when playing villains...in fact, another great acting job was on the original L&O where he played a writer who used a woman so much so the son killed someone and she was so wrapped up in Foxworth that when the son was arrested and arraigned her ONLY thought was of Foxworth, not her son. Foxworth gave her a cold stare and walked away at the end.
I may have missed a few elements here but check out that episode...it is tooo much.
Great job by Foxworth!!!
By the way, the way his "son" says "YOUU!!!!" is so visceral that it seems REAL. He was hurt and disgusted all at once.
That was good acting from the son... Probably learned that from his dad.

This is what I want. A whole channel that skips all the filler and goes straight to the end.

Fun Fact: Aside from the actors playing father and son are father and son in real life, the father (played by Robert Foxworth) once acted in FALCON CREST (1981-1990), a contemporary soap opera of DALLAS. In real life he was also married to actress Elizabeth Montgomery, who played the title role of Samantha Stevens in BEWITCHED (1964-1972) until her passing in 1995.
