Deakins comes under fire when an e-mail surfaces that insinuates he got Martinez (from <a href="http://www.tv.com/law-and-order-criminal-intent/to-the-bone/episode/730599/summary.html">To the Bone</a>) to lie about the Logan shooting by getting him a promotion. The e-mail is soon traced back to former cop Frank Adair (from Season 4, Ep. 22 - My Good Name), who is doing time for murder.
