This one's a TV one, Law & Order Season 6. Season 6, in case you don't know, was the first full season filmed with the death penalty returned to New York. Newcomer Curtis was all for it, nearly every other character was conflicted, but Kincaid, being unilaterally against it, became a total bitch. I'm not saying so because of difference of opinion, but
every single time the death penalty was halfway mentioned she'd come out with a sermon, taunt, or just harass McCoy to death when he was really struggling with the decision. Anyway...
The season finale didn't have a case, it opened with all the principals watching a lethal injection, then dealing with it afterward. Kincaid went to her old law professor to mope about, and (here's the moment I'd been waiting all damn season for) he gives her a dressing-down for her holier-than-thou attitude and self-congratulatory depression. The capper is, as she's getting up to leave, the professor adds, "You know, your mother wants to know why you never come to dinner." Slapped down in elegant fashion by her own
father! It was more than I'd hoped for.
Oh, and I should mention,
But by then, I'd had all the gratification I needed.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
