Episode: "Fork you very Much"
Date: 12-1-01
Character: Detective John O'Brien
Steven portrays John O'Brien, a charming police
detective. The detective contacts a lawyer who
was a witness to a crime to inform her they have
captured the suspect. The lawyer knows they have
the wrong man, so she tries to negotiate a deal
with O'Brien. When she tries to do so, we find
out that the detective all along has had a "crush"
on her. They come to an agreement and he asks her
out. She says maybe...and by the end of the episode
she is dialing his number.
Episode: "Truth or Consequence"
Date 12-27-01
Steven returns to this show as the same character.
This time however, things are not as nice as last
time. Kathleen, the attorney who in the previous
episode he wanted to go out with, is now defending
a rapist. She manages to get the accused off on a
technical error. Later O'Brien informs her that the
rapist has been killed by police and that there will
be an investigation. While she is still dealing with
the shock of the news, he questions her about the
possibility of them still going out on a date. The
end result? To quote O'Brien, "You zig where I zag".
The date does not take place much to the disappointment
of the fans.
