When a TV reporter becomes the victim of sextortion that could ruin her career, Benson helps her take back control while Velasco goes undercover as a potential rich target.

I haven't watched in awhile now, but I wonder if they are going to have one of the members of the team dress provocatively like they have in past Halloween parties at NCIS?

No Benson never had an alcohol problem, we’ve seen her drink over the years but she was never an alcoholic - her mother was an alcoholic though. I do seem to remember Benson drinking, but not a lot. It was not so pronounced or noticeable, because I don't think the producers wanted the viewers to think that it might impair Benson's judgement concerning her job. And I can understand "Andyourlittledog2" reasons for skipping out for a long time.

Not sure about Bruno, but next week Velasco goes undercover when they investigate a "sextortion" plot. So we will see plenty of him next week

Would you say they started off with a bad premise, where it seemed like the parents were OK with the kids (both under 18) and having sex? It seemed like to me, the writers were promoting the fact that it's permissible to have underage sex, but you should show more safety concerns when having underage sex. When some one gets hurt, Benson comes out of the woodwork and plays her "Justice for the Victim card" and goes with her usual rant. I thought it was sloppy because they thought to focus on the unsafe choking aspect instead of the parents trying to teach their children about having underage sex and the less than joyous consequences. Wisdom is accrued thru time not at the moment.

Is SVU advocating or almost insisting on parents to letting their kids have sex? I still don't know what I think of this episode yet. Is Carisi going to be a standard fixture now? He usually just makes token appearances that only involve what charges are brought against the perp (or perps)

Very good point! I wonder if someone is going to be permanently erased from the show?

I hope they don't pull one of the oldest blunders to police dramas, where relatives to the investigating officers are implicated in crimes the officers are involved with. I am really tired of those kind of episodes

According to the preview Giddish is appearing and it looks like she is coming back as not just a consultant, but as some kind of fully uniformed SWAT person.

A couple's dinner party ends with a violent home invasion and assault by masked men; Rollins suspects the crime is linked to her Intelligence investigation of an international gang of thieves.

I wonder how many times he had to wear that coat in 90 degree weather?

Is it NYU, because I forgot to check and see if they mentioned it was the famous Hudson University where all kinds of sex crimes take place?

A girls DNA of a Rape Database was or wasn't considered admissible or it was unconstitutional because the girl's DNA was identified in some kind of jewelry heist of over $ 100,000. If I remember right, Benson thought this girl should be allowed to get away with that crime.

Wasn't this question raised last year on an episode of SVU? IMO, when the victim of a rape submits her blood (or DNA) in order to determine the rapist DNA, she can't plead the 5th. if her blood (or DNA) is found to be identified in another felony.

Well Said!!!
