Bayliss (
Kyle Secor) and Pembleton (
Andre Braugher) continue their investigation of the murder of 11-year-old Adena Watson. Bolander (
Ned Beatty) and Munch (
Richard Belzer) are confronted with a murder victim who is not entirely dead. And despite the skepticism of her partner Felton (
Daniel Baldwin), Howard (
Melissa Leo) insists that the solution to another murder case rests in the "testimony" of the victim's ghost. This episode includes the first of
Homicide's celebrated "red ball" cases -- those so important politically that they effectively supersede the rest. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
