In this instance, the judge's excuse for supporting the defence is so insane that Nolan seems to literally bite his tongue.
And runs straight over to tell Nick about it. Nick is like Hmmmm but gives Nolan no indication he's taking it seriously.
Nick gets the confirmation he needs and goes to see Nolan in his office. He tells him he was right all along and what Nick is going to do is demand a mistrial (this is where Nolan starts to get misgivings about this approach) and also he's going to press charges against everyone involved in this criminal conspiracy. Nolan tries to remind him that warring with judges is bad for business etc like Nick himself told Nolan but Nick is like yeah I was telling you, not asking. Leave it with me; peace out.
Nolan does what he feels he has to do: he visits the defence attorney at home and negotiates a deal to get the killer literally any criminal conviction at all.
Nick finds out and is LIVID. He's waiting in Nolan's office the next morning when Nolan arrives at work and reams his ass out. Nolan tells him they didn't have the cards and he couldn't let Nick throw away his career. Nick tells him he should worry about his own career. HOWEVER.
In the next scene, Nick is announcing their fair and just guilty plea from the killer and Nolan is standing with the squad. He lives to litigate another day.
This was the season finale, but the show has been renewed, so if people enjoy these mini sort of recaps that are really just an excuse to look at pictures of Hugh Dancy, I will keep doing them when the show resumes in the fall!

There is nothing on this earth like Sunday mornings tangled up in you. The warm press of your skin as Nick’s fingers hook those baby pink short pyjamas, dragging the silky fabric down your legs. The fabric sticks to the moisture between your thighs, so dewy and wet for him already.
The top is long gone, discarded when he’d practically torn off the buttons because he wanted to get his mouth all over those pert, rose coloured nipples. His lips follow the waist band of the shorts, his five o’clock shadow stubble grazing over your sensitive skin as he balls the damp material up in his fist tossing them at the hamper. His firm hands grasp your thighs, pushing your knees back towards your chest revealing that perfect pink pussy.
It's a power position, you can only receive what he’s about to give you. Your head tips back into the pillow as his tongue drags through your folds. Your fingers gripping the sheets, grasping them tightly. His lips suck gently at your clit, his fingertips swirling gently around that needy little hole of yours, dipping in, teasing.
“You’re being mean.” You pout as his tongue traces circles, his fingers finding a slow steady rhythm. Nick doesn’t respond, he simply curls his fingers, hitting that sweet spot. “Fuck Nick I…”
A low moan tears from your throat as he nips you, a light grazing of teeth that sends you hurtling straight into the stratosphere. You clench around his fingers, just on the cusp when he stops, holding you right there at the pinnacle of release.
“Nick…” You plead, your breathlessness only fuelling his resolve. You’d had an orchestra rehearsal that ran late last night, you hadn’t been able to find a minute to text. He ended up dining alone and then going to bed alone because you didn’t wrap until eleven.
“Oh honey.” He drawls, his heated breath ghosting over your clit as he withdraws his fingers, his tongue replacing them. “This is what happens when you stand me up. You keep me waiting, I keep you waiting.”

How crazy would it be if I decided to rewatch all the episodes since Baxter joined Law&Order simply in order to write a series of codas about him an Nolan and how my brain decided that despite the 15 years age gap and the boss/employee dynamic they would be a great ship and I ship it?
Also is someone going to be interested or it'll be just me and my brain?
Ok, hear me out….Law and Order comes out with another show called Law and Order: Political Crimes. Rafael Barba becomes Manhattan District Attorney on Law and Order, freeing up DA Nick Baxter and executive ADA Nolan Price to run and win the White House so they can work from the inside to tackle political crimes.
