History Recap / LawAndOrderS14E2Bounty

* HalfwayPlotSwitch: Halfway through the episode, the focus switches from the investigation into Bobcat's death to the case against Kellogg.
* NotWearingPantsDream: Bizarrely, Dworkin refers to this in his defence of Kellogg.

* TokenMinority: Dworkin argues that Kellogg's newspaper hired him just to prove they had a Black person on staff, with no regard as to whether he could do the job.

When Kellogg refuses to reveal what he knows about Maas's whereabouts, the prosecutors charge him with obstruction. The truth comes out that Kellogg's never met Maas - the interview is completely made up. Bobcat found out, so Kellogg killed him to keep him quiet. Defence Attorney Randy Dworkin argues in court that Kellogg was hired under an affirmative action scheme because he's Black. This led to him being promoted to a senior role he was not prepared for, and placed him under intense pressure that drove him to kill. [=McCoy=] argues that Kellogg could have quit at any time, but stayed for the money and prestige. As proof, [=McCoy=] wants to cross-examine Kellogg's girlfriend; a wealthy, married white woman who wouldn't want to date him if not for his prestigious job. Rather than have their affair exposed, Kellogg agrees to a plea bargain.

At a hotel, a couple go to confront another guest whose music is disturbing them; they find him dead in his room. Briscoe and Green discover that the deceased was a bounty hunter, Robert "Bobcat" Rovelli. He'd been trailing a journalist named Brian Kellogg, who's recently published an exclusive interview with Bobcat's current target: Mitchell Maas, a fugitive known as the "Rich-Kid Rapist." The detectives think that Bobcat got too close, and Maas killed him.
