This episode had an interesting premise but just got weaker as it went along. 

Cabot was extremely OOC, she had given up on the justice system completely and was nothing more than a vigilante it seemed. Very disappointed how they brought her back just for character assassination. 

I was surprised Cabot was allowed to represent the woman at the custody hearing, given that she had helped her fake her own death, she should’ve been sued as well. 

I thought Cabot was way out of line helping them fake their own deaths, what if the husband had been killed at Rikers? As big of an asshole as this guy was, he was still set up for something he didn’t do and he had every right to go after his ex wife and Cabot, and I was sort of glad he got away at the end. 

I was glad to finally see an unhappy ending where justice wasn’t served, I honestly didn’t know if SVU would ever do that again out of fear of pissing off some of the rabid fans who view the show as some sort of therapy, but it was nice to see. That being said, the ending felt rushed, the circumstances of the crash were unclear (where was the daughter?) and it didn’t even seem like they were tracking down the driver, that would be the Homicide detectives job, would’ve been a good crossover if the Mothership was still around. 

Stone was off his game because of his sister’s situation, and he never should’ve given the go ahead to charge the husband with very little evidence. His sister’s storyline seemed pointless and just thrown in to give Peter more screen time in an episode where he didn’t have much of it, and it was very disappointing that Stone and Cabot didn’t meet.

I was glad that Benson wasn’t dragged into Stone’s personal situation, although it is strange that Stone is already calling her “Liv”, after just being around for a few months and Benson treating him like shit at the start. 

No Fin sucked, it isn’t the same without him.
