The actress who plays Tess deserves an award for those screams when she was finally released! That scene really got to me and was such an amazing performance. It looked like the actors who play Benson, Rollins and Silva were responding to Tess in real time rather than it being rehearsed. Every time Amanda tried to get close to Tess to put a blanket around her or try to comfort her and Tess kept breaking down broke my heart a little more. Absolutely phenomenal performance!

I was worried that Carisi was going to be killed off as it did seem like that was the direction the episode was going in. I do hope that future episodes show him dealing (or not as the case will probably be) with what just happened and not have everything pushed to the side and not see his character for a while.

The episode was good overall but it could've linked better to the episode before since the same guy was in it. Why wasn't he investigated more since he kept acting really suspicious? And why didn't we see anything happen to Rose's "parents"? There was clearly something very wrong there and so much child neglect!

Also, did the writers just find some random unknown syndrome online and give it some random characteristics because that's not what Noonan syndrome is at all. One of the main characteristics is short stature and the guy looks very tall (turns out he's 5ft 6 but that's not really short - the average height for people with Noonans is around 5ft to 5ft 3). Another one is heart defects, not diminished psychological capacity as it's not a chromosomal abnormality, it's a genetic disorder.

If you're going to give a character a diagnosis then do some actual research on what is it.
