Decent episode

Warning: Spoilers
This episode was better than most of the ones this season. Kim Rollins is back with a kid in tow. No mention of who the baby daddy is though. But whatever happened to her plotting to kill her boyfriend back in season 14? I remember she took off but this is her second appearance since then. They just let her walk? Seems the writers don't know how to follow through ion plots. Anyway they go after a pharmaceutical company for pushing pills for sex. Carisi's boss has a connection but in the end does the right thing. We also meet Rollins father. He's no prize and ends up disappointing her and Kim again. I'm waiting for Fin to have more to do. It's like he's just window dressing. I'm also waiting for episodes where you either care enough about the victim to want to see justice or where the plot twists just blow your mind. I saw the show was just renewed for three more season. I think that's a bad decision.

Outstanding multifaceted episode!
Top_Dawg_Critic28 February 2020
Wow the writers nailed this episode. Excellent tension and suspense with a plot twist you wont see coming, and something relevant to current social issues. Excellent procedural and family dynamics. Certainly out-of-the-box writing makes this one of my favorite episodes. The writers will have their work cut out for them to top this episode. Perfect 10/10 from me.

Family Team

I thought Svu was a series that evaluates the consequences of applying the laws. After the 20th season, another situation was added to this. Svu has also been a series about women in business life, mothers in business life, families in business life.

I want to make a svu assessment myself:

Until season 12, excellent, heroic single cop or dual cop, like "Lethal Weapon", is told.

After Season 12, he tries to explain that this is a team work. There is no single hero, it is the team work that makes your hero a hero.

There are people of all colors and personalities in the team. This is what makes them strong and champion. Like a champion soccer team.

In addition to this, the theme of being a woman in business life and being a woman manager is discussed.

The supportive, emotional and realistic results brought about by female domination are explained.

These are their stories.

Family reunion for Rollins
bkoganbing28 February 2020
This episode belongs to Kelli Giddish who has a reunion of sorts with her estranged sister Lindsay Pulsipher. She's back to her usual tricks of addictive behavior. But when she OD's in a fast food place she offers up her doctor who got her hooked again.

Mark-Linn Baker looks almost like a mad scientist as Pulsipher's physician who trades sex for drugs. But the whole thing looks like a promising field of investigation for SVU. And Giddish gets a reunion with even more family members.

Looks like this could spawn more episodes.

Eternal Relief from Pain

It is amazing that this show can recycle storylines weeks later. We just had SVU go under cover and try to catch a guy in solicitation, but it just wasn't anything original here. I doubt these kind of events go on in the real world as often as this show portrays them.
