Prepare to hit the courts this week (is that tennis lingo? no?) as we watch S04 E21 of Law and Order: Doubles. We get an invisible tennis match, Detecives Bebop and Rocksteady and a wound that defies all explanation. After Matt recaps the episode, we take to the ice with Enn who tell us the true story this episode was ripped from: Tonya Harding & the attack against Nancy Kerrigan. This was a time in the country when the media had even less grace for it's villains and heroes; with what we know now, have your thoughts changed at all on this one?
