L&O: A murder over missing pants leads to poisoned toothpaste

Law & Order S18 e4 “Bottomless”

“You’d sue a dry cleaner for millions of dollars because you think their ‘one day service’ sign is fraud? God help Dominos if your pizza doesn’t arrive in 30 minutes!”

Green and Lupo investigate the murder of a lawyer whose opponent was suing a dry cleaner for $20 million for giving him the wrong pants. The other trousers belong to a SavingsMart executive who'll do anything to hide his office affair and save his job.  

Van Buren's old boss, now SavingsMart's head of security, lies on the stand to sabotage the murder case. Why? Cutter and Rubirosa learn the suspect is blackmailing the company over their purchase of Chinese toothpaste filled with deadly antifreeze.  

We're talking about original recipe Law & Order season 18 episode 4 "Bottomless." Our guest is popculture.com writer Daniel S. Levine.

This episode takes cues from the 2007 lawsuit of Pearson v. Chung.
