"Superb"

By Dragon-fly2088, Mar 07, 2011

This was a very suprising episode

Its start with a girl called Kim. She falls down the stairs at her school and at the ER they found out that shes been beaten up before. And the docters call our favorite dectectives Benson and Stabler.

They are trying to find out how did that to Kim,
her boyfriend ore her other boyfriend its a bit confusing.
this part of the episode is horrible in real life but a little boring to this episode.

I thought that the girl how played Kim was not a good actress, I didnt believed it what she had to say

It becomes interesting when
Kathleen Stabler comes to the rescue looking great and confincing Kim to tell how her attacker is.
Shes telling about her time in jail and she is defending Olivia because al she wants to do is help

It becomes interesting when they all end up in court, and the judge centens the girl to soon en to strictly.(to some place up Ohio)for distrubiting kiddyporn > a nude picture of herself

Then Oliva and the girls attorney ( Alex Kingston how whe no of E.R)
are gonna dig in the senteces in the judges past and they found out that shes commiting fraude because the boss of the place in Ohio is her nephew.

Olivia and the attorney are being called in the judges office for a friendly chat. but are ending up in jail for contempt of court

then whe see elliot in a very good roll of a father how whants his daughters boyfriend in jail and buying the judge
broadway material

conclusion in my opinion a very good episode, i loved itmoreless

Good episode.

"Good"

By thefanof, Mar 07, 2011

A relevant story to a plethora of today's youth, but unfortunately the guest stars were unignorably bad. There are not too many talented child actors out there but I have to wonder who called in a few favors to get these kids their parts.

That being said I really enjoyed this installment. It kept me hooked, it kept me guessing and really flowed at a good pace. The supporting cast was not there too much to dumb things down.

I think this episode proved that this show cannot survive without Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni. The rumors circulating that the show may continue without them better be purely rumors as Mariska Hargitay is Law and Order: SVU and in this episode her character was not only the dominant factor, but she did so in a way that did not overshadow the rest of the cast.moreless

- Kim asks Kathleen if Olivia put her in jail, too. Kathleen says Olivia did, but she's happy about it. Although Olivia did say she'd ride with Kathleen when she got arrested, it was actually Elliot's giving back the necklace which Kathleen stole that put her in jail.
