Shrink-Wrapped (S03E15)

Christian Lyle (Gene Farber) is arguing with his therapist, Eloise Barnes (Margaret Colin), a sexy but married middle-aged woman. He's a student at Julliard and has issues with boundaries, as he is constantly running late on his rehearsal time. He also is clearly smitten with his therapist. He shows up at her birthday dinner, only to be escorted out by her husband, Graham (Brent Spiner), a psychologist at Bellevue. Later that night, he is found dead in his rehearsal room. His face was burned with acid and his lower body, ripped by stab wounds. Detectives Goren (Vincent D'Onofrio) and Eames (Kathryn Erbe) talk to Eloise, who says her patient lost his mother in childbirth and has subsequent feelings of guilt. Her husband, meanwhile, doesn't have a terrific record of his own. (iTunes)
