    I'd also accept Al getting custody of the baby and leaving town. Maybe have her take leave and get therapy - basically hit the reset button again.
     

    I don't know if I can agree entirely. I'd go for Donal Logue and I'm a straight male...

    Okay, so you are not blind.  For whatever reason, that chubby redhead makes that look work.  But look at how he went out. 

    Rollins told him "You don't have to be part of our kid's life" and he pretty much responded with a "Great, cause I have a job out of town, but if you need anything let me know and I will make it back."

    Lindsey is crazy as a shit house rat, and apparently tough enough to get her finger cut off by the Russian mafia, and survive a secret life of prostitution whoring.

    i do love her. 

    Lindsey is crazy as a shit house rat

     In all my years, I have never heard anything like this and it is the most funniest thing I have ever heard, my goal, for the rest of my life is just to add that phrase to everyday normal conversation.

    EDIT: 01/22/2019 - 5:28PM.  Now this is Spooky.  Here I am watching Homicide: Life on the Street, S4E4, and Baliss just said that phrase to a perp during the interrogation.

  3. OMG.  I thought this was going to be something to laugh at and make fun of but it's not. 

    This is the most depressing thing I have seen in a while.   These kids are losers, and it's not because they don't have any idea of what they want to be, it's how they carry themselves.  These kids are broken and sad, and they need therapy to build up their self-esteems.

    C'mon, these are like the kids of the characters of the Sopranos.  Your parents (at least if they aren't douchers)  don't want this for you.  You gain nothing from trying to be a gangster.  Cause you are not.  You are a Wannabe's.  

    and I keep calling them kids because that's what they are.  Younger than 23, older than 12.  They shouldn't be on this show, they are being exploited.

    And Isn't it more tough to not talk about how tough you are.

    So I could've sworn the writers said they opted against a pregnancy in the 1st season. Yet wrote in pregnancy after Amber gives birth.  

    The fact that they said the season finale and not the winter season finale makes me think this show is not coming back.  Usually shows premiere in September.  As much as i like this show, i can forget it by nine months.

    I actually found this to be a sweet little show. I liked that the superstar kid wasn't portrayed as a bratty, entitled, drunken mess. And I genuinely LOL'd when the bodyguard picked up Damon while he was dancing.

    Yes.  It's just a sweet little show.

    Joe is an unmitigated asshole.  Who suggests a split when your woman clearly has PPD?  Dick.  He is not the catch he thinks he is.  Cyn needs to bail and quick.

    Why does Rich Dollaz know so much about Anais?  More than her BFF?  Don't believe it, Mona.  Try harder.  And Anais obvs has something up with her, but IDK if it's truly mental issues she's been self-medicating or just self-medicating in general.

    Sidney as a rapper is…not good.  At all.  Sorry, sis, you need to work on them bars.  Right now, they trash.

    Kimbella& Juelz' talk with the kids should have been off-screen.  And if that was a reenactment…shame on them & Mona.  There's a line and that type of shit crosses it.

      I had one of those spit your drink out moments.  Here is your girl that is sad and hurting and obviously wants some emotional attention from you. and you respond is I'm okay if you want to break up.  I don't even understand how anyone would be in a relationship with Joe, he seems dimwitted to me, as in someone who may suffer from mental retardation.

    She was so nonchalant about the whole thing, as though it's totally normal for the police to show up at your home and start tearing through walls in your basement.  Because threesomes were a theme of the episode, I was thinking maybe she thought she was going to be in some kind of cop sandwich and she had laced the tea with an aphrodisiac to help everyone get in the mood.

    I also presume the line where the CeCe asks Olivia if she had ever been with a woman was written specifically for the promos, and the thousand or so Olex fan fiction writers.    

    Yes, TXHORNS79, I think that may have saved the episode, LOL.

    So Ceci was kidnaped and brain washed years ago and never once tried to let her parents know she was alive?  Her mom died never knowing what happened to her and that was never mentioned. Cold 

    This show makes me feel like we have to teach our kids, that we love you, we will never give up on you, don't let some doucher kidnapper make you think so. 

    There was another L&O: SVU, where the dad died and never knowing that his daughter was alive.

    There was a L&O (MOTHERSHIP) episode based on the DC Sniper case, where the dad died never knowing his son was still alive.

    Seriously.  That woman was so totally devoid of interest in why they were there or in what they wanted to do in her basement, I was beginning to think she was putting it on, that she was somehow involved in the crime.  But, nope.  She was just that uncaring.  Lady, if the police start eyeing up your wall, best be interested.

    I actually wondered at the legality of that, of their just ripping out her wall without permission or search warrants.  There weren't any exigent circumstances involved, after all.  I also wondered at Ava, the victim, being allowed to watch the interview of Sadie, one of the accused.  Any halfway decent defense attorney ought to be able to make hay with that for either of the accused.

    I thought she was in on it only for a split second. After I didn't see a smug reaction or the lighting wasn't different or a different sound, I realized she was legit.  You must understand as a fan of all the Law and Orders and now Chicago P.D., there is a formula to tell who is in on something.  The victim and protagonist are just filmed different.

    What creeped me about that scene, was that they flashed a badge and she let them into her home, and into her basement.  This woman came across as so dimwitted that I worried, what if Fin and Carisi were not real cops.  You just let two dudes into your house.

    I think most of us noticed it, but don't really have anything new to say about it. I would love it if I thought it was something the writers were bringing back to play with again, but I have no illusions that that kind of subtext is something the current writing staff is capable of pulling off consistently or that it is something that TPTB would allow them to bring back given the transfiguration of Butchy McFabulous into St. Benson. I'm not sure if it was cheap titillation or part of their whole attempt to recapture a bygone era of SVU, but in any case it's almost certainly a throwaway moment.
     

    Again I think this was an attempt to bring back something that they don't understand how to do any more. The show used to be really great at comedy. Not just the occasional snarky remark where the characters intended to be funny, but outright comic moments rooted in the obliviousness of a character or physical comedy. For instance the classic "Master Baiter" scene. But between the loss of Meloni and Belzer and the overcorrection from the super campy last Baer years to the grimdark Amaro seasons it seems like they've forgotten how to do it. As we've mentioned they seemed to be going for something like a season 7-8 vibe throughout this episode which totally would have done this, but would have nailed the setup better (making it clear that she was more than a bit naive and so lonely she was more interested in talking to two handsome detectives than asking questions) and did better at giving is a WTF reaction from the cops to make the scene work. It's yet another of the little things that happen when you are trying to take a show back to basics without really understanding all of the nuances or being given all of the tools to do so and also not allowed to change things too much.

    . Not just the occasional snarky remark where the characters intended to be funny, but outright comic moments rooted in the obliviousness of a character or physical comedy. For instance the classic "Master Baiter" scene.

     "Not a masturbater, the (D) Master Baiter", after some poor idiot stood up.  Wow.  Classic, LOL!

    Let's take the sexual assault out of it for a minute ......... Olivia was judging them for engaging in threesomes as opposed to Amanda who came from a 'not my cup of tea' stance. For someone who's been a detective in sex crimes Missy sure is prudish & judgmental about consensual sex. Even Fin with the lawyer who consented and had a good time as she told him. It's like, 'y'all need to get'

    May you explain the "not my cup of tea" stance that represents Amanda.

    Again, the show seems to be trying to go old school with the twists. The secret video, the body in the wall, the body in the wall not being Ceci...  I have no problem with twists, but as soon as Dad said Ceci thought she wasn't pretty, I began to suspect Sadie was Ceci.  So that twist wasn't too successful, but I did find the reunion between her and her dad affecting.

    What are the chances there'd be two girls the same age range, from the same area, both named Moira, who went missing in the same timeframe?  Moira just doesn't seem that common a name, but, I dunno.  And that woman with the house?  Had a decided lack of curiosity why two NYC detectives were interested in her former tenant and her basement.  I would've at least asked why they wanted to see my basement before leading them down and leaving them alone there after asking about my paneled wall.

    Yeah, that seemed far-fetched.  So Ava was the first time they, as a couple, raped someone?

    The episode was okay.  I did like seeing lots of Carisi and I LOLed at his timing, when the doctor was asking him if he never craved two women melting under him (or however he phrased it) and Carisi promptly asked for the girl's number.   Now if we could just get an episode about him...

     Holy Cow, that woman was so oblivious I didn't know what to think of her.  And then she comes back after they ask her to leave with tea and drops the mugs, and the mugs crash, and I have a serious eyeroll.

    She really had it out for the Blue-haired girl and her bra, didn't she?  Yeah the girl was talking a lot and doing the most, but you showed up at their house during their down time.  If Lindsay wanted her to cover up, she should have said so instead of sending her passive aggressive digs throughout their conversation.  I mean, blue/pink-hair girl was hella-annoying (I kinda like her though), but she didn't deserve that from her employer.  Although, I almost fell off the couch laughing when she said, "As the only black person here....," cut to the camera panning to the other black girl ambassador.  LMAO.  I have a feeling she uses that statement a lot to get sympathy from her white coworkers/friends.

    aside from the bra situation, which i hope in any other meeting with your boss, blue haired girl would have gone inside and put on a shirt.  I think Lindsay was trying to figure out who the cool kids were based on how they got drunk.  Alright.......I hate this show, but damn it I will watch.

    I knew from the start the doctors girlfriend was, somehow, going to be a victim of the doctor too, because that's just how the works now so everything was just meh. I thought the actor playing Cici's father was good so I gave a damn he got to see his kid alive. But of course the show ended on a shot of Benson. What else is new.

     

    Seriously though, this is why I hope SVU never tries to do ripped from the headlines with Lena Dunham because they'll absolutely play into the bullshit deflecting she's been spewing that it was "the patriarchy"  that made her lie about information of a rape, not that she was covering for someone she'd made money with and probably wanted to keep that an option and now is looking for credit for "coming forward" (reads to me: legally she was probably asked to hand over her so called information and was backed into a corner.) As a female, equality to me isn't claiming we are constantly victims. There are some terrible women in the world, but you would never hear that on SVU anymore. The shocking twist of this episode would have been if the girlfriend had killed Cici and it was her idea to get the girls. 

     

    Also, as other people said, yet more white people and man/woman crime. This is a show set in NYC actually filmed in NYC, they have no excuse for this shit.

    I thought the actor playing Cici's father was good so I gave a damn he got to see his kid alive.

    OMG yes.  In the chaos that was this episode, the gentleman that played the dad was really good.

    Yeah this episode was incredibly predictable and unoriginal, very mediocre. We’ve seen he said/she said rape cases between attractive wealthy white people over and over, nothing about this made it unique or interesting, I lost interest quickly.

    Honestly, I guessed almost every plot point just from watching the preview. Starts as a He/She said vs She said story which is hard to prove, the guy is smug and rich, the woman is sexy and more sexy, and eventually it will be revealed that the man is the true villain, and the woman is a victim somehow, and she turns on him when she sobbingly breaks down as Olivia tells her that he doesent really love her. The only parts I didnt guess was that it seemed like they only raped one woman and the rest of their three way partners were consensual (I assumed they were serial rapist types) and that he had murdered a little girl. As soon as the dad of the missing girl said she was obsessed with being pretty, I knew she was the girlfriend, and saw pretty much how this would play out. They even had the "we arent judging people who partake in three ways, EXCEPT WE TOTALLY ARE HE CANT LOVE YOU IF HE LIKES THREE WAYS YOU SICK FREAKS!!!" stuff. Because no way could a woman enjoy that! Its all about her being manipulated by her evil husband who never loved her, of course! 

    It almost felt like the dead girl existed just so that they could nail this guy and positively announce that he is the real villain and that the girlfriend was a victim with no ambiguity, and have him sent to jail, more so than he might if it was just the poor girl he and his girlfriend raped. It seemed so tacked on at the end, and his methodology was all over the place. I mean, I guess any psycho rapist is likely to change his MO, but this guy goes from "obsessing about some girl in college" to "manipulate two teen runaways into doing child porn and killing one of them and using plastic surgery on the other to make her look a certain way" to "have three ways with former teen runway with consensual partners except for one girl we rape", its just weird how they wrote his character. Really, the first half of the episode was pretty interesting, and the idea that this couple might have escalated from rough but consensual sex with strangers to rape and could keep going was a cool and creepy idea, maybe ending with them killing someone, but then it took a really weird hard right into dead kid land. 

    This would have been an interesting episode to have some courtroom stuff, too bad we didnt get any. 

    I felt like maybe because I was tending to other things while watching the episode that I missed something because I also could not understand how every other 3way was consensual but he decided to rape this one girl? (I"m not saying it doesn't happen, I'm just saying in this episode it didn't make sense)

    And the dead girl was a Red Herring, served nothing to the plot except to make us think that ??? (forgot name) was dead.  Wack!

    What a boring, predictable, unoriginal episode. We’ve seen he said/she said rape cases with the victim an attractive upper class while woman and the perp a wealthy, famous white male with the incident occurring after a trendy party numerous times over the last few years. The storyline was incredibly dull and very predictable, it was obvious that the female perp would be less guilty than the male perp because the agenda Mariska wants to push will never allow women to be truly evil, so I knew from the start the female perp would eventually turn on the male, and I also realized that Sadie was CeCe when the body found turned out not to be CeCe. 

    Carisi and Fin were entertaining as always, but of course the super mommies are the ones who get to do the final interrogations and close the case. Can Carisi and Fin get an episode where they can get the focus and not Benson and Rollins?!

    Stone not being there was very odd, it made no sense why he wouldn’t be at the station when Heath and Sadie were being interrogated. And why was Sadie/CeCe talking to them without their lawyer at the end?

    No soapy personal stories and no political preaching was nice.

    This season has been incredibly mediocre, Carisi and Fin have been great but most of the episodes have been dull and there is too much focus on Benson and Rollins and not enough courtroom stuff.

    You're from IMDB message boards?

    It was just an odd episode.  Of course the female perp would be found less guilty.  In this episode she was weaker.  Had he been the weaker perp he would have flipped.

    And yes it was very predictable that Sadie was CeCe.  It's almost as if they wanted us to guess it.  Dad speaks about how daughter thinks she ugly duckling with low self esteem, picture of her in compromising situation with a plastic surgeon.

    Rumors are that this beach club was shut down because it was a front for prostitution.  Not sure if that is why, but according to this one article, it definitely seems shut down and abandoned, not just closed for the off season.  Signage was removed and it doesn't appear to be winterized.  Someone abandoned a fish tank full of live fish...

    I was shocked that Brent was  being instructed by Panos to do whatever it takes to keep the female  VIP client happy. 

    Would Panos force one of the female Ambassadors to do the same thing for male clients? 

    Thats very sketchy.

    I wanted to see more of Lindsay in Mykonos.

    I was so embarrassed by that behavior.  In the real world couldn't Panos be charged with something for making an employee do that.

    And how fortunate that she was attractive, what if she was unattractive or very, very very old or a man, would he still be expected to kiss the VIP client.
