Not one of my favorite episodes

Warning: Spoilers
Some of the behavior and comments in this episode annoyed me. For example, a pizza is delivered to Olivia. She says she didn't order the pizza. Fin starts to dump the pizza and Detective Lake says no, he'll eat it. No one is curious as to why this pizza is delivered to Olivia when she didn't order it. No one calls bomb squad to check the pizza.

The comment that irks me is when Olivia tells Cecilia (Shannon Woodward) that the woman she killed, Tina (Samantha Jacober) looks like her. Then she said I think when you killed Tina you were killing yourself. What! The killer said she wanted to die, so according to Olivia, she dies by killing someone else. I don't get that. No. She killed because Robert (Jared Harris) wanted her to kill. I could see no hidden motivation.

Another scene is when Robert wants to see Tina's amputated breasts. Olivia goes all psycho and tries to go after Robert to beat him and Elliot has to hold her back. Olivia has seen and heard many unnerving things. Why did that request set her off. Maybe I had watched too many episodes of SVU in a day. I don't know. But this episode annoyed me. However, I did like the ending, Casey's masterpiece.
