Route66

It's not. Maine is one party consent. It's just unfortunate that SVU writers don't have access to Google where they could check that. Olivia shared that scene with Maxwell because she repeated what Maxwell said to her at the conclusion of "The Steps We Can Not Take". The whole speech about how justice may be blind and how heartless she will be if the conversation comes back to haunt her. It was Liv's way of saying it's mutually assured destruction if Maxwell rats her out.

Is anyone wondering why on OG they literally have an entire detective devoted to pulling up camera footage from everywhere in the city, and yet SVU does not have video of public parks, alleys, or hotels? Maybe Benson should call over to the 2-7 and ask to borrow their video lady. I hated how they were so obnoxious about Muncy's brother being a good CI. Would you rather he suck at it? Was he supposed to approach the bartender and just say "Hey. Can you maybe slip date rape drugs to some girls? I'll give you pictures and you call me when they're incapacitated. K?"

Presumably she meant they should have turned over the doorman's testimony.

They could have saved time by having her introduce herself like "I'm a single lesbian from the 4th precinct." It was awkwardly obvious to have her say "My wife and I started the basketball program" followed by "it outlasted my marriage." I wish the writers could use a bit of subtlety.

Is anyone else tired of Jet being treated like the squad's little sister instead of a professional colleague? If anyone else got promoted they'd likely go out for drinks and toast. For Jet they get streamers and balloons and plan to hide and yell "surprise"? Also, what did she do to earn this?

McCoy would have argued "Inevitable Discovery". After "Molineux" that was his biggest weapon.

DAE think throwing in Jayne Mansfield was nonsense? She died in 1967, when Pence would have been maybe 5. A man with dementia would likely think of a model who was well known when he was in his teens or early twenties; possibly Farrah Fawcett or Heather Locklear.

Probably anyone with knowledge of law or medicine or IT gets annoyed with blatant and obvious inaccuracies. I'm sure any cyber or tech professionals find Jet and/or TARU to be a joke.

Ugh. Please someone else tell me they thought this was one of the worst episodes ever. I loathed the "Cold Case" style opening. The graphics of Pence dancing around on the moon while Saint Olivia read his bedtime story was horrible. Churlish makes an illegal recording and got angry at Velasco for looking into her background? I don't like her at all. And once again we see that everything Liv does is saintly and perfect and she passes judgement on anyone else not being "by the book". She can hide witnesses and cover up murders like in "Bonfires Vanity" but she bitchily tells Velasco she won't be his friend unless he turns in "Chili". I think I actually hated her by the end

Can this show (and the franchise in general) please pick up some super basic knowledge of firearms? When Reyes is at the crime scene, he tells Bell "they really unloaded in this guy. 6 9m Full Metal Jacket casings." First off, a motorcycle gang that literally traffics guns would likely use something bigger than a 9mm. Second, using Full Metal Jackets to execute someone isn't "really unloading on him". You'd use hollow points which are what the LEOs have in their guns and what is used for self defense. A FMJ would require very specific shot placement, totally stupid for a drive-by. Lastly, there's no way the ejected shell casing would have wound up on the sidewalk. A 9mm handgun ejects casings backwards, they wouldn't move from the shooters car to the sidewalk.

I did not understand how they were able to ask the minister about his conversation. Even if it wasn't privileged due to his position as a clergyman, isn't it hearsay?

I think everyone thought that. Maybe bad editing or it was supposed to be a twist. Did anyone else think it was weird that she gave the tape to Muncy? What was the point in involving her?

Terrible episode. Seamus is a high level mafia hitman but keeps his windows open to the point where Reyes can photograph him? Whose hand was that? Why was Jennings ring on it? A highly trained dog like that isn't going to stop eating because Eliott tells him. Bell reveals to Jett that Murphy killed "her partner". Jett then refers to him as "Jennings". How does she know his name? It was out of character for Jet to just fall apart when her wig came off. Lots of women wear wigs. Just giggle and say you like long hair. Where exactly was she carrying her firearm? She was wearing a cocktail dress. I'm also annoyed with the apparent ease that Jet can do anything electronic. You need a list of fake names and SS# for the bar employees? Oh sure I can knock that out by tomorrow afternoon. And not for anything, I've worked in a lot of bars and restaurants and never had the dishwasher had a social security number.

I'm not sure if it's the multiple show runners or writing, but it makes no sense that they're putting Jet undercover, especially with a high up mobster. Initially she wasn't even let out of the office. She's shown in the preview claiming she "can play a part" but when she and Jamie are staking out the jewelry store, she visibly gets upset when he jokes about her dad not paying for the wedding. She later tells Jamie that her dad didn't pay for her wedding for real. If she can't keep her face neutral in a brief stakeout, how's she going to deal with Seamus?

I think her purpose was to let Stabler know that Murphy was being protected from inside. She didn't trust anyone at the courthouse. I thought it was weird since Stabler didn't know her that she didn't show any identification. It was just "oh hi I work for the DA here's some coffee."
