- TriviaThis is the second episode this season that Carolyn McCormick (Dr. Elizabeth Olivet) has appeared in, the other being Pathological (2018). This season marks her first appearance since the season 14 episode Deadly Ambition (2013). Before that, she hadn't been seen since the season two episode Abuse (2001).
- GoofsAt some times in the episode it is said that Ms. Vega is being charged with murder and at other times it is said that she is being charged with manslaughter. When Ms. Vega is still in the interrogation room ADA Stone says that he is charging her with murder, but then at her arraignment she is charged with manslaughter, then later on in his office Stone once again says she's being tried for murder.
In this case manslaughter is the correct charge, specifically manslaughter in the second degree since Ms. Vega did not intend to kill the owner of the apartment when she hit him over the head, her intent was only to incapacitate him.
- Quotes
Peter Stone: Your certitude is a good thing, Liv. Hell, it may even be noble. Unfortunately, the law...
Olivia Benson: Can you stop? Please, just stop. I've, uh... I've heard the lecture before.
Peter Stone: Maybe, then, you should listen.
Olivia Benson: Maybe you should listen. Lourdes was raped. Her entire being - her past, her present, and most importantly, her future - negated.
Peter Stone: That doesn't entitle her to seek revenge.
Olivia Benson: But it does entitle her to reclaim what was once hers. And if revenge is part of that, then... then so be it.
Peter Stone: You don't believe that.
Olivia Benson: I believe that the wrong person is on trial.
There is an absurd scene where the rape victim complains her illelgal entry in the United States was SO MUCH harder than the illegal entry of her rapist. "My father had to use a mask and gun to rob the bank! Susie's father is a teller and just embezzled the money! It isn't fair!"
A police detail is ambushed and killed despite plenty of warning the mob would be coming for the DA's sister. In the final scene the cops have to fire about 500 bullets to kill one man, and don't get the hostage out alive anyway. If this is how real police officers and DAs operate, we might as well surrender to the Chinese and Russians now and get it over with.
All in all, a pathetic and embarrassing effort all around. Maybe we should watch reruns of "Cop Rock."
