A young boy is abused by his stepfather for years. The detention of the boy's stepfather leads to the capture of the leader of a pedophilia rights organization.
This was a well balanced and well acted episode. The pace was right and the conclusion was satisfying. Definitely one of the best episodes this season. I liked the guest appearance by Rosie Perez. And the guy from The 4400 was also great. The thing that was a little odd was the way they brought Cabot back. We already knew she would return but her saying that she was finally out of appeals? I did like her comments on the botched up setup of the leader of the pedophilia rights group. It funny to see how Stabler and Benson thought it was a success while Cabot totally blew that out of the water. Hardwired was a good episode. I hope they can keep it up.
