Something Happened

Nothing in between. I loved it. They took a risk and I think showed the impact of sexual abuse for what it is. Destructive of all that it touches, including the "collateral damage." I commend Mariska Hargitay, Melora Walters, and Dick Wolf for digging down and giving us something even more than the normally great drama. I salute them!

I really tried to enjoy this episode..i really did. But man that was just bad. Only positive thing in this epsiode is the usual cast who did an excellent job as always but the two guest actors (victim and her sister) really tried too hard...it really annoyed me.

Melora Walters plays a woman who comes to the SVU squad with a story that she was raped by a man who picked her up in a bar. Ice-T and Peter Scannavino discover him dead when they track him down.

Which leaves Mariska Hargitay trying to get facts and a confession if warranted from said facts. She gets no help from the victim's sister lawyer Joanna Going and a lot of family dirty linen is aired. Some of Olivia Benson's as well.

This episode had potential, but a muddled script keeps it from being top rated.

*deep breath* MARISKA HARGITAY IS AN AMAZING ACTRESS WHO PUT SO MUCH EMOTION INTO THIS EPISODE AND DESERVES 10 EMMY'S

This episode was just plain annoying. Melora Walters almost baby like voice and over the top acting we're awful. I'm not as annoyed by others that Olivia was front and center. But I do get the point that it's happening a lot more since Chris Meloni left.
