List of Law & Order: Criminal Intent episodes
The sixth season of Law & Order: Criminal Intent premiered on NBC September 19, 2006, and ended May 21, 2007; this was the last season to air original episodes on NBC.
This season of Law & Order: CI premiered in the NBC Tuesday 9/8c time slot as a lead-in for episodes of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit; NBC had acquired the rights to Sunday Night Football for the 2006–2007 season. For its first six airings, it faced CBS's The Unit and baseball on Fox. In late October, Fox's hit series House moved opposite L&O: CI. It was hoped that the show could maintain second position, beating the then-marginal The Unit, but that did not occur.
The show's ratings suffered a steep drop and it regularly finished fourth in its time slot. By the end of the season, Law & Order: CI saw its lowest ratings ever on NBC, the episodes "Endgame" and "Renewal" being shifted to originally air on Monday nights.
This is the last season the original hard rock theme song was used in the opening sequence before changing to the fast-paced theme song of the now-defunct related series Law & Order: Trial by Jury – coinciding with the show's move to USA Network in Fall 2007.

Cast and crew changes[edit]
It was announced that Jamey Sheridan wanted to depart the cast at the end of the fifth season. Sheridan's Captain Deakins retires from the Major Case Squad starting with the episode "On Fire," rather than battle a conspiracy to frame him instigated by former Chief of Detectives Frank Adair (Michael Rispoli), whom Major Case detectives have arrested for killing a female acquaintance and her husband. Courtney B. Vance who portrayed Assistant District Attorney Ron Carver decided not to renew his contract at the end of the fifth season, which resulted in his character being written out. It was the same with Annabella Sciorra, who portrayed Mike Logan's partner Detective Barek; there were no reasons cited for Sciorra's departure.
Stars Vincent D'Onofrio, Kathryn Erbe, and Chris Noth returned for the sixth season as Eric Bogosian joined the cast as Captain Daniel Ross, Deakins' successor, who is a more by-the-book commanding officer, often getting in conflict with Detectives Goren and Logan. Julianne Nicholson also joined the cast as Detective Megan Wheeler, replacing Carolyn Barek as Logan's partner. Nicholson left the series temporarily to go on maternity leave at the end of the season.
Show runner René Balcer and executive producer Fred Berner left the show at the end of season five, Balcer and Berner returning to the original Law & Order series, it slowly falling in the ratings. CI was handed off to Warren Leight, a longtime Criminal Intent staffer. Under Leight's leadership, the show acquired a new, more melodramatic tone. "This is a different CI this season – there will be politics and more at stake emotionally and personally for our detectives," says Warren Leight, "We'll see more character-oriented stories, we want to give characters a larger role going forward and see the effect and sense the toll this job takes on the officers. Detective Goren isn't always going to be the smartest guy in the room anymore."[1]
The mystery aspect of the show was simplified in favor of more personal stories involving the detectives. For example, Goren endured his mother's long battle with cancer, culminating with her death in the episode "Endgame." Also, Logan's anger issues often come and go in episodes like "Maltese Cross," "Flipped," and "Renewal." The show's look and editing style also changed in an effort to attract viewers of the newer CSI franchise. Norberto Barba replaced Fred Berner as executive producer. The scene cards and sound effect were not used in this season; they were brought back as of the ninth season.

Guest stars[edit]
Martha Plimpton guest stars in the season premiere episode "Blind Spot" as Jo Gage, the serial killing daughter of Detective Goren's former mentor, Dr. Declan Gage, who is portrayed by John Glover. Plimpton's cousin, Ever Carradine, guest stars in the later episode, "Bombshell."

Liza Minnelli guest stars as Beth Harner, a grieving mother who might get closure as a suspect is found that might have been involved in her daughter's brutal murder on Halloween night in the 1990s. The episode "Masquerade" revealed many resemblances to the case of JonBenét Ramsey, a six-year-old girl made famous by her unsolved murder and subsequent media coverage.
Rita Moreno (pictured) portrays Detective Goren's terminally-ill mother in the sixth season only, though she had been mentioned in prior seasons as being in a psych ward due to her schizophrenia.
Fran Drescher and Michael Biehn portray Elaine and Leland Dockerty, a couple whose military daughter disappears over Thanksgiving after she comes home from a tour of duty. Leland Dockerty was the Deputy Commissioner of the NYPD. Rita Moreno also guest stars in "The War at Home" as Detective Robert Goren's mother, Frances, who has fallen ill from dealing with her cancer; she later returns in the Goren/Eames team season finale episode "Endgame," where she succumbs to her cancer shortly after Goren brings up his paternity.
Matt Keeslar guest stars in "Blasters" as TV celebrity Willie "Kirk" Tunis, whose old screen friend is murdered by some mobsters.
Michelle Trachtenberg portrays Lisa Willow Tyler in "Weeping Willow," a girl who is kidnapped during the middle of her web show broadcast. The story and the WeepingWillow17 character were inspired by the lonelygirl15 video blogs on YouTube, which were originally believed to be the works of a real-life 15-year-old blogger, but were eventually discovered to be a professionally filmed hoax.
Maulik Pancholy plays Dani Hasni in the episode "World's Fair," where his younger sister is initially believed to have been murdered as the victim of a hate crime. The detectives later discover that Dani was the one who committed the murder because she shamed their family.
Doris Roberts guest stars as Virginia Harrington, the ill mother of an aristocratic New York family; she almost dies until Detectives Goren and Eames discover she's been mistreated by her family.
In "Albatross," Donna Murphy and Xander Berkeley guest star as George and Maureen Pagolis, a political couple that has some involvement in the murder of a judge during a reenactment of the Alexander Hamilton/Aaron Burr duel. Mike Colter also guest stars as the Pagolis's driver, Dave Oldren.

Kirk "Sticky Fingaz" Jones portrays gang-unit Detective Harry Williams, who quickly turns from lead investigator to lead suspect in Fulla-T's murder. Aunjanue Ellis portrays Carmen Rivera, the girlfriend of Fulla-T who refuses to "snitch" to the police on who killed him.
Tony Goldwyn guest stars in "Brother's Keeper" as Detective Goren's brother Frank, who is first seen homeless, and possibly high, on the streets; Goren gives him his coat and a few dollars. Goldwyn returns in the Goren/Eames finale episode "Endgame" where their mother Frances is still suffering from cancer.
Lee Tergesen guest stars as Josh Lemle, an old friend of Detective Logan's who is a popular journalist. It is discovered that someone used Polonium-210 to poison Lemle, but he is reluctant to reveal the whole story to Logan because not all of it is pretty. John Dossett portrays Judge Nicholas Fenner Sr.; his son is murdered as soon as he put a rapper whom his son idolized in prison.
Kirk Jones aka "Sticky Fingaz" (pictured) portrays Detective Harry Williams in the episode "Flipped."
Bill O'Brien guest stars in "Silencer" as Detective Peter Lyons, a detective who can read sign language and translate it into spoken words.
Tate Donovan guest stars in "Rocket Man" as Commander Luke Nelson, the professional rival and ex-boyfriend of a murdered astronaut with whom he was having an affair.
In "Bombshell," Kristy Swanson portrays Lorelai Mailer, a woman whose son dies after she gives birth, only to die herself days later; the case becomes a homicide investigation that seems to involve the paternity of the newborn. The episode revealed many resemblances with the deaths of Anna Nicole Smith and her son Daniel Wayne Smith, which, like this episode, is a story with characters motivated by the misadventures of rich and famous people.
Roy Scheider guest stars as serial killer Mark Ford Brady in "Endgame;" Goren becomes irritable as he deals with Brady's near-end confessions and his mother's (Rita Moreno) cancer, but it turns out the two are connected. Mark Linn-Baker returns briefly as Wally Stevens, as an unwitting conduit between Goren and Brady, who is in the same penitentiary.
In the season finale "Renewal," Kelli Williams guest stars as Logan's neighbor and possible girlfriend, Holly Lauren. But when she turns up dead, it drives Logan mad to the point where he stops focusing on the case at hand—a police recruit's murder—and focuses instead on Lauren's death, which may have possibly been a suicide.
Brooke Tansley guest stars as Belle Duffy, a girl who follows in Nicole Wallace's (Olivia d'Abo, who doesn't appear in the episode) footsteps. Kathryn Erbe (Detective Alex Eames) guest stars in the episode to help Detective Wheeler close the police recruit's murder case.

In the season premiere episode, Detectives Goren and Eames investigate the death of a former ambassador's daughter, who is found brutally murdered in her uptown home. The detectives turn their suspicion to the victim's jealous ex-boyfriend, but when another murder bears eerie similarities to a serial murder case from the past, Goren's reclusive old mentor, Declan Gage (John Glover), and his daughter, Jo (Martha Plimpton), come in to help the investigation. The veteran detective arrives on the scene with firm ideas about the case, and to warn of a serial killer who may be back on the loose, but it is not long before the finger of suspicion is pointed at him when Eames disappears from her home. Apparently, she has been kidnapped and may be the next target. Eames is seen blindfolded with a scarf, gagged with duct tape, and hanging by her bound hands from a meat hook. After they interrogate Declan, Eames' car is found in the precinct's garage with another victim in the trunk. Eames meanwhile escapes, but does not know who her captor is. In the final scene Declan is being interrogated by Captain Ross while Goren and Jo watch and discuss the case. Jo admits how her father treated her like an aide, not a child, and that he did not believe a woman could be a serial killer. In her statements she reveals that she committed the recent murders so she would have something in common with her father again.
Eric Bogosian joins the cast as Captain Daniel Ross.

The apparent accident takes a turn when the motorcycle is found sabotaged, but further evidence leads the team to realize the victim had an illicit affair with his son's high-school teacher (Anne Dudek). At first, the detectives believe the jealous husband seems the most likely suspect, but they soon become suspicious of the victim's son Keith (Anton Yelchin).

Detectives Goren and Eames investigate the brutal murder of a teenage girl from The Hamptons, found dead in her car in Queens after a night of partying. The detectives probe the uneasy family relationships concerning the murdered teen's stepfather, a local police officer who has had to deal with his rebellious daughter, all the while trying to protect his youngest child and his dying wife. Nevertheless, the discovery of cell phone records soon deflects the team's investigation in another direction, leading them to investigate the victim's married boss, a supermodel's husband, who had maintained an extramarital affair for a long time with the victim. But when yet another supposed lover comes forward, their attention turns to a different source, while resistance from the local police complicates the investigation. Eventually it is revealed that the victim's stepfather, a cop, murdered her because of the stress the victim's wild antics was causing her dying mother, who has cancer. Ultimately, her killer decides to kill Goren and then himself, knowing that if he kills himself before he's charged, his wife will get his pension. Goren manages to disarm him, but as he's taken into custody, he grabs an officer's gun and kills himself in front of the police and his horrified family.

4 "Maltese Cross"[8] Jim McKay Jacquelyn Reingold October 10, 2006 (2006-10-10) 06006 11.47[9]
Detectives Logan and Wheeler investigate when a fireman is stabbed 22 times and collapses after managing to drive himself to the fire station. The ensuing investigation and questioning launches them into a brawl with the fire department, leading to a hearing before the Commissioner for Logan and Wheeler. The storyline arcs back to the fight as Logan and Wheeler retell their story to the Commissioner, giving perspective to the fight and underlying issues between the NYPD and the FDNY. The brawl proves to be a red herring and it appears the crime was perpetrated by a possible repeat killer when an identical murder twelve years prior comes to light. Questions arise concerning the victim's sexual orientation, followed by an official inquiry and a secret involving his wife, a colleague, and a hate crime someone else confessed to years earlier.

Detectives Goren and Eames investigate a 911 call made by the son of a wealthy and prominent historian, stating to the 911 operator that his parents will not wake up. The detectives arrive and find the man poisoned, with his wife still clinging to his corpse. At first, the death appears to be an accident, until Goren and Eames look below the surface. First, they look at the gardener, with whom the wife had been cheating. But he was cleared due to his multiple other affairs with his clients' wives during the time period. Then the finger turns to the victim's wife who goes into a mental breakdown. Her brother-in-law and father-in-law (who hate her due to her past) clear her by claiming that she can't stay clean long enough to go through with serious plans like that. The finger of suspicion soon points to the victim's brother, an irresponsible man who was perpetually short of money, on the edge of losing everything and who had recently been cut off by his sibling. Nevertheless, when he is also found dead, the detectives turn their attention to the two men's wives, both of whom had multiple reasons to want the brothers dead. Rip Torn guest stars.

Detectives Goren and Eames travel to Vietnam to bring back a suspect to New York for trial, who has confessed to the long-unsolved murder of a child beauty queen. Nevertheless, Goren finds the suspect's confession to be too predictable, even though it mentions facts only known to the police and the child's immediate family. The investigation reveals that the dead child's mother (Liza Minnelli), their next-door-neighbor (who has been making money off the murder with several books), as well as the next-door-neighbor's son all have possible motive for the murder. It is also revealed that the original investigation, fourteen years earlier, was botched by a rookie investigator. Adding to the drama is a new ADA who is pushing for a quick resolution to the long-cold case.

Detectives Logan and Wheeler initially suspect it had something to do with the recruit's heroism, but then they discover his girlfriend has suddenly gone missing. Meanwhile, Detective Logan goes on a date with a pretty woman he met from his building, but he gets too close to a case when she stands him up for the second date and is found dead nearby. Detective Wheeler is called abroad to oversee a past case she worked on while with the joint task force, and Detective Eames (Kathryn Erbe) steps in to help out.
Special guest starring Kathryn Erbe.
Julianne Nicholson left after this episode to go on maternity leave. She was replaced by Alicia Witt until the middle of the seventh season.
