Who’s That in the Body Bag?

Tonight, at 9pm EST, the seventh season of Law & Order: Criminal Intent will close with a finale called “Frame.” Since the TV spots are heavy on the Bobby Goren and light on the Alex Eames, we can pretty much guess which detective the frame business applies to … Goren, of course.

The brief trailer in the video below also hints a big blast from the past awaits Goren in the form of the ever-elusive cunning temptress and lethal criminal Nicole Wallace, always played chillingly by Olivia d’Abo. Doesn’t that look just like her in the lightning-quick snippet where a blonde woman turns to face the camera but never quite shows her face?

My assumption is supported by the episode description, which says Goren will take a dangerous journey back into his earlier life after a photo is left at his mother’s grave. Let’s just hope that’s not him in the body bag. I’d bet money it isn’t, too, unless it’s a trick to fool someone.

The teaser promo for “Frame” follows.
