I'm looking for the name of an episode. Its about a guy possibly named Eric who is in love with his friends wife and ends up killing him for her. When the police and Dr. Sloan begin to suspect him he drowns himself in the ocean. Anyone remember that one
shareI don't know if it's the episode you're thinking of, but it sounds very much like 'By Reason of Insanity'. The episode synopsis from imdb(written by another user, not me - I take no responsibility for any errors!) is:
A bum is brought in Commununity General- Mark recognizes him as his former student George Lawson, once a brilliant medical mind, now a mental mess, who raves on about what sounds as father Setan, but his whole speech is riddled in some slang-logic. He's found again on the beach outside the site of the murder on Richard Fielding and arrested- even his degree of schizophrenic paranoia and dysfunctional state is no legal insanity. Jesse has a go at George's slang-type associations. Ethan Foster, the widow Cynthia Fielding's lover, is told by his wife Sophie she knows he is Richard's murderer but wants to spare their teenage son Elliot the shame if he signs over all his wealth and full custody. When someone has an attack in custody, George correctly diagnoses and instructs Steve how to save him. Jesse figures out George speaks in anagrams, and his computer finds who fits father Setan, starting a new chain of events...
Ok, it's Ethan, not Eric, but the drowning is similar, plus the wife and the murder of the husband. The one who played Ethan was also in 'The Bela Lugosi Blues', the 'is she, or isn't she, a vampire' episode from Series 2 (if that helps!).
Do I watch too much DM? Very possibly! (My children would certainly agree!) But, much like Columbo, I've seen every episode, and most of them more than once! If it's on TV I'll watch it, or have it on series link on Sky.
It's perfect 'ironing TV' (again, like 'Columbo', 'Inspector Morse' etc) in that I can be doing boring household/mother stuff like ironing, have it on TV, but just listening to it is fine because I don't have to watch it in detail any more because I can picture it in my head because I've seen nearly every episode so many times!
