The episode managed 12.6 million viewers and a 3.8 rating among adults 18-49. This is a new record in the demo, but just shy of a record total viewer tally.
Law & Order: True Crime debuted afterward with 6.2 million viewers and a 1.7 rating. This is a disappointing result considering the huge lead-in, but will it stabilize here?
