So now every actor from OITNB was on SVU. (except Larry? But jeez, we don't need to see THAT happen) Barba was great.

Jeeeez yes, Fifty Shades of Grey IS a horrible book and movie, we get it, could everyone just stop shoving it down our throats?! But other than that, it was an okay episode. Not too boring. It started refreshingly good, with a nice team moment because of Kates pregnancy and everyone seemed like to do something. (Hotch and JJ questioning the family etc.) Also, it had some nice profiling. But the end felt very rushed like "oh shit we still need an explanation so let's just have Garcia say that the UnSub witnessed this exact same crime as a kid!" Too much UnSub. I didn't mind it at first because it was kind of interesting with his family but it was just too much. What really bothered me was that everyone except Kate and Morgan disappeared again. It felt like, besides Rossis funny moment, there was nobody on this team but these two. I like Kate (Morgan not that much) but you know, there is just no way Hotch would disappear and let do her (pregnant) the takedown. But this has been already said. Also that Meg is just annoying! When we first meet the family (UnSub comes home and the two daughters happily run to him) there is a baby on the Nannys arms, so I think that was supposed to be child number three.

I liked this episode. It was interesting enough to keep me watching, and this is a victory these days. Prison stories are always interesting but the outcome seems to be always the same. I mean who didn't know that it was the captain? So obvious. *sigh* Still, the characters were explored well and even the team did some nice work. (except from profiling but it wasn't a JJ show or a where-the-hell-are-Hotch/Reid/Rossi-episode) Liked the action in the end and I REALLY liked that it was Kate and not JJ because let's be honest: Ninja JJ would have fought them off and it was refreshing to see Kate and Morgan 'lose' the fight.

Barba holding Noah? Best.Scene.Ever. (still lmao because of his facial expression) The case was alright. The Barba stuff was heartbreaking. But I'm so glad the writers didn't screw Barbas character up! Jeez, I just love Raúl Esparzas acting choices...that man is so talented. Every scene with him was (as usual) a pleasure. That def was an episode for Barson shippers. What are the writers intending to do with Carisi?! Is he supposed to seem like an annoying child? All in all, nicely done!
