When a cop is murdered in a failed burglary attempt, Detectives Ed Green and Nina Cassady are led to a "stalkerazzi" photographer hot on the trail of tabloid sensation Sky Sweet, and her estranged husband "J-Train" Smolka.

Confident the burglary and subsequent murder is connected to incriminating photos of Sweet, the case goes to court and Executive A.D.A. Jack McCoy and new A.D.A. Consuela "Connie" Rubirosa find themselves in the media spotlight as they argue the use of "The Shield Law" to protect celebrity journalism.

Lt. Anita Van Buren: Yeah, I talked to her captain, he was cagey, not very complimentary.
Det. Nina Cassady: Well, you know what they say - the better you are, the more trash they talk!
 
Lt. Anita Van Buren: Well, your assignment, until I tell you different, is watch and learn.
Det. Nina Cassady: Yes, ma'am.
 
Lt. Anita Van Buren: I said watch and learn. You just promised to close this case.
Det. Nina Cassady: I was only offering condolences.
Lt. Anita Van Buren: Watch... and learn!
 
Lt. Anita Van Buren: His hard partying ways have forced the separation but only as far as the guest house of her Bel Air mansion.

Det. Nina Cassady: Page 6 has you partying all over the city this week.
Sky Sweet: I liked it better when you didn't talk.
Det. Nina Cassady: Well, since the floodgates are open, you got an infant in the room. (takes her cigarette) No smoking!
