"Seeds" is a seventh season episode of the television series Law & Order: Criminal Intent. This is the first Logan episode to appear on the USA Network.
Plot summary
In this episode, Detectives Logan and Falacci investigate the murder of an OB/GYN found posed in a ritualistic fashion, spread-eagle on an exam table.
Logan and Falacci learn the victim ran a private fertility practice with his brother, also a doctor, convincing them a pro-life activist is to blame. They interview the office genetics counselor and an angry patient who claims the doctor performed an abortion on his wife, but an analysis of the crime scene suggests a different scenario.
Further evidence leads the detectives to realise the members of his wealthy family may have been involved in the crime. The list of suspects include the victim's own son, his brother, and the nephew he never even knew he had. Their suspicions take a new twist, when the DNA evidence from the murder comes in.
