- GoofsWilliam Labott's driver's license incorrectly identifies his gender as being female. It also indicates that he is 42 years old, yet William Labott is clearly older than that, he appears to be in his late 50's or early 60's. Ray McKinnon, the actor that plays Labott, is 61 years old.

Amanda Rollins: [using a package of candy to get through to Esther] It works with Frannie.
Odafin Tutuola: Yeah, but Frannie's a dog.
Featured review
Not Amanda's fault and no religion bashing!
No, in spite of what other reviewers suggest, this is not Christian bashing or any other religious bashing. It takes an attempt to use religion as a lever to do things that are clearly bad, and holds it up for what it is: perversion of real religion. Jesus preached love to all people, even your enemies. Mohammed (blessings and peace be upon him) taught restraint, generosity and mercy in all your doings. I could go on... but fundamentally every actual religion embraces our encompassing humanity, our responsibility for each other and our need to respond to that responsibility. I distinguish "actual" from "organised" religions. Once organisation creeps in so also does power, the manipulation of that power, and eventually politics. So we end up with the Crusades, Jihads, the Inquisition, the Salem Witch Trials (don't try to absolve religion of guilt there!), all the atrocities committed in the name of religion over the last 4000 years and probably more. But an organisation does not have to be large, like the Roman Catholic Church. Here we have an organisation which consists of a father and those he considers under him, his wife and nine children. The political power he wields is obvious. This whole episode is not about religion: it is about power and those who would wield it in order to maintain it. Amanda did not make a mistake here. She and her colleagues were fired upon and returned fire. Does no one ask how these people obtained possession of such lethal weapons? Were they members of a "well regulated militia"? Was their intention to defend the State? No? Oh dear. Come on USA, time to bring the Constitution up to date and decide what the Founding Fathers would have said were they living in the 2020s rather than 1789. As to the production, I thought the whole team was up to scratch, and this was a brilliant episode. Mariska Hargitay continues to justify her salary (look at any modern professional athlete or the gladiators of ancient Rome if you want a salary curve comparison!), but here I have to give the accolade to Kelli Giddish. Her grief as Amanda really came through to me. The outcome was not Amanda's fault: she had done more than her duty and responded as she was trained. Amanda still needs, perhaps more than anyone else in SVU, a ?mother? Figure that she can be held by. We have to see where the scriptwriters take us. In the meantime I send Amanda a supportive hug if she would like it.
