Justine Miceli (Det. Adrianne Lesniak) and
Kim Delaney (Det. Diane Russell) graduate from recurring to regular status as
NYPD Blue begins its third season. Things get off to a potentially lethal start as James Martinez (Nicholas Turturro) is shot down and left paralyzed -- possibly for life -- by a government witness who may be completely immune from prosecution. Diane tells her AA sponsor, Andy Sipowicz (
Dennis Franz), that she's recovering from her drinking problem, potentially good news for her boyfriend, Bobby Simone (
Jimmy Smits). And Andy's significant other, Sylvia (Sharon Lawrence), has some good news -- at least, she hopes it's good news. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
