- Quotes
Elliot Stabler: What about that autistic kid in Milwaukee last year? Parishioners held him down, they were laying on top of him to cure him.
Olivia Benson: That could explain the ring mark.
[walks around behind Cragen and wraps her arms around him to demonstrate]
Olivia Benson: Someone holds Jamie, he struggles, they hold him tighter.
Capt. Donald Cragen: [a little breathless] Until he can't breathe.
[Olivia removes her arms and walks around in front of him]
Capt. Donald Cragen: Thank you, I enjoyed that.
Just as in 2020, it is blame the police. There was no way for Finn to know the social worker would shoot herself until it was too late to prevent it.
Real-world politics aside, this episode is typical SVU, full of twists and turns. It is hard to say the writing stands out from any of the other episodes. There are a few good performances, CCH Pounder as the defense attorney and Julie Hagerty as the overburdened social worker. Even Malinda Williams does a good job as the foster mother who is wound a little too tight. Unfortunately they are let down by a script more interesting in is surprises and forced point of view.
