The NYPD Blue (Season 2) DVD features a number of dramatic episodes including the season premiere "Trials & Tribulations" in which Kelley's testimony on Licalsi's behalf triggers an Internal Affairs investigation and Sipowicz tries to enlist the help of an abused woman (fearful of her husband) whose testimony is badly needed.
