Episode Synopsis: MCNORRIS AWAKES FROM A NIGHT OF DRUNKEN BLISS TO A HORRIBLE NIGHTMARE -- Aftermath of a drunken night on the town, a frightened D.D.A. McNorris (Neal McDonough) assumes the worst after waking to find his car smashed and covered in blood. Panicked by detective Smith's (Mykelti Williamson) investigation of a late-night hit-and-run, the crazed attorney searches for clues to trigger some memory of what happened during his blackout. Elsewhere, officers Hechler (Gary Basaraba) and Turcotte (Jason Gedrick) respond to a possible kidnapping, only to find an elderly man lashed to a bed, screaming for help. Donnie Wahlberg, Lana Parrilla and Nina Garbiras also star. (NBC Media Village)

A booze binge takes an emotional toll on deputy DA David McNorris (Neal McDonough) in this engrossing episode.
At the outset, McNorris is already flying high during a gala fund-raiser for his boss's reelection campaign. Hours later, McNorris awakens in his garage in the front seat of his car, which has a cracked windshield and a crushed fender covered with blood. The damage combined with a breaking news story convinces McNorris he's involved in a hit-and-run killing that's being investigated by Fearless (Mykelti Williamson). Desperate to jar his memory, McNorris sets out on his own inquiry, which leads to a seedy bar and a rattled exotic dancer (Susan Ward). (VCR Plus+ 6868) (TV Guide.com)
