FAN RECAP

A love triangle with a few Alfred Hitchcock twists.

By someone198, Mar 22, 2011

What could be more exciting than a girl being stalked by an obsessed, deluded admirer? A girl being stalked by an obsessed, deluded admirer who has an obsessed, deluded girl in love with *him.* No wonder the detectives and Alex were getting confused when they couldn't pin Cassie's attack on her stalker. A lunatic stalker believing himself to be in a non-existent relationship with her, they could comprehend. But *another* lunatic believing herself to be in a non-existent relationship with the stalker... a love triangle has never been done this way before.

It's hard to tell which is more exciting: the suspense- and action-filled plot, the frightening climax when Cassie gets shot, or the utterly unexpected ending complete with the girlfriend's creepy line.

Olivia: What are you doing here? ... ... ...

When an up and coming cellist is attacked in her own apartment, Detectives Benson and Stabler begin to investigate those individuals who were in close contact with her. Their first suspect is her orchestra conductor. They quickly shift their focus when they find that there were cameras hidden throughout the victim's home. When a website is found that shows videos of the victim's actions inside her home, they begin to suspect a stalker.

This was a decent episode. I was interested in how the perp managed to get all the cameras into the victims apartment without her knowledge. It is scary to think about someone violating you in that way.moreless

ADD NOTES
- Special billing was given to B.D. Wong (with) and Michael Nader (and) in this episode.

ALLUSIONS (1)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- This episode appears to be ripped from the headlines of the Susan Wilson story, in which a woman was spied on by an obsessive neighbor who installed hidden cameras in her home. As in the episode, the videos were soundless so no charges of wiretapping could be filed. This was also the basis for the film Video Voyeur (2002), starring Law & Order actors Angie Harmon (Abbie Carmichael) as Wilson and Jamey Sheridan (Captain James Deakins on Criminal Intent) as the voyeur.
