3 - Imposter
A man uses the name of the head of Hudson University admission committee to trick women into having sex with him; they thought they were getting their kids into Hudson school. Liv calls it rape.
The man actually works security at Hudson. This Tom has done it many times, and the doorman videotaped Tom’s encounters with these mothers. As always Liv convinces Barba to prosecute the case. The judge doesn’t like it though: “judges and prosecutors are supposed to enforce the laws that exists, not the ones they think should exist.”
Criminal impersonation, a misdemeanor, is the best Barba could do. The woman’s kid kills himself after that (I think).
4 - Heightened emotions
Amanda’s sister is granted parole and goes staying with her and her daughter Jessie. Amanda is worried Kim might use drugs, but she takes medicines because she was diagnosed as bipolar; “you didn’t tell me” - “you didn’t ask, Amanda”.
An Olympic athlete is raped. She sometimes goes out on her own as a private escort, and there’s a rich man who hurts prostitutes because he says “you can’t rape a hooker” but Barba says “paid or not paid, no means no, consent can be revoked at any time”.
Jenna testifies but she’s so obsessed with her body she takes off her shirt in court and Barba hurries with his jacket… and I didn’t know if I had to laugh or feel sorry because she was clearly rather unstable. Later they say she has a bipolar disorder.
7- Next chapter
No Barba in this episode.
Not a very mysterious episode, since I guessed it from the beginning, but a nice one, well done.
It starts with Liv and Tucker out to dinner. He says that he wants to retire, and rather unreasonably she asks “to do what?”, which shows clearly how she feels about it. He replies: “to do nothing, to smell the damn flowers, hopefully with someone like you”, and he asks her what future they have together.
Next, we meet Quinn, a young woman who is assaulted at her own home. She’s raped by a masked man, but she thinks she knows who he is. She says that Ray has been stalking her since college, and even went to jail because he violated the restraining order against him. And yet, the second she named Sergeant Cole I suspected him immediately. The policeman who saved her once and then they became friends...
Ray has an air-tight alibi though, he was at a church meeting - full of fanatics, it seems to me, if they can’t answer a simple question without quoting the bible and talking about the light. Anyway, his alibi is solid, with video confirmation.
There’s the usual talking about smoke give you cancer while they interview a few people - which is of course very true, but they don’t stress it that much with all the other unhealthy things.
They found a cigarette with Ray’s dna at the scene, so someone planted it to set him up, and looking at surveillance videos they trace the car to Cole - surprise surprise.
The wife cries and dismantles his alibis quite quickly, and then Cole abducts Quinn and takes her to some family place. They go after him. He has her at gunpoint, and when Carisi goes in and the guy is about to shoot him, Liv kills him. His face is all covered in blood now but she saved his life.
Liv also tells him that the job doesn’t change people, that if you’re bad you’re bad and always was.
8- Chasing Theo
No Barba in this episode.
No Barba in this episode.
Single mom Nadine has friends over and in the morning her six-year-old son has disappeared. Her ex-wife Fran hired a p.i. to get evidence to sue for custody, but had nothing to do with the kidnapping.
When the squad arrived at her house, it was a mess, with signs that drugs had been used. Her main preoccupation during the episode seems to be what they think of her, she says that she’s not responsible for what happened, that she’s not to blame, that it’s hard, and blah blah blah.
Gloria is the Mexican nanny, and it turns out she told her brother to take Theo, and when they find them, Theo fights and screams because he wants to stay with her. They talk to Gloria and she says that the boy was in danger there, and Nadine was planning to move to Ibiza where without Gloria nobody would have looked after him, that she was the one who had always cared for him.
When they talk to Theo, he says that it was like a game when Gloria’s brother took him, that he wanted to go with Gloria to her family in Mexico and live on their farm.. still she committed a crime and they can’t let them go.
Social Services obviously get involved but Fran says that they will fight together to regain custody of the child. At the end, Carisi tells Rollins that she is a good mother and plans to get dinner and eat it together watching some bad reality tv :-) Liv is at home with Noah and Tucker, and they talk and she tells him that “we’re in different places right now” but he makes it easier for her understanding it all, and she also says that all her attention must go to Noah now. He says again that he understands and leaves... but as a reason for a break-up it seems a bit weak to me. She said they were both trying too hard to make it work, which seems to me like saying that it wasn’t working after all. If you think about it, with him retiring he could have spent more time with Noah while she was out working, so Noah can’t be the excuse for their break-up.

10 - Motherly love
A teenage boy comes home to find a man with his mom. She screams "help, he's raping me" and the boy shoots. He killed his 'best friend'. It turns out that this Nicole might have had sexual relations both with Trey and another teenager, Ethan. They arrest her, not for statutory rape, but murder too. When she sees that the jurors don't trust her and kind of despise her, she changes her tactics, blaming it all on her son, saying she was having sex with Trey and Luke shot because he has sexual fantasies about her. The poor kid is all messed up and starts thinking that he's a murderer. She's found guilty, because after talking to Liv Luke sticks to his true story.
At the last scene, Barba invites Liv out for a drink, but she reused, saying she wants to go home and see Noah.
15- Know it all
There's a serial rapist-murderer at loose and when they catch him he confesses to all of them, but Benson has doubts, he definitely killed some of them, but not Jennifer. Benson keeps looking until she finds proof that she'd been tied up with a different rope. She thinks, like Jennifer's sister, that she was killed by her ex-boyfriend. Barba objects that he couldn't know enough details to copy the serial killer, but Benson thinks that he hacked the police computers. She almost convinced him, when her rope-expert changes his statement and then disappears. When they find him he's about to kill himself. The ex-boyfriend found out his secret and blackmailed him. They stop him, but everything's compromised now. Barba tells Benson to find new evidence, that he'll give her warrants, but the guy phones him too. Barba recuses himself from the case, but he won't tell her why. He left her a hand-written warrant (I think, so the guy wouldn't know about it) so she goes through with her search. She finds out that Barba's secret is a girl named Astonja Breil (or something like that, sorry) and she asks him about her. He says that he knew her mother Mariana, an heroine addict, and that "she was a witness in a case against a guy who raped and killed two women. She was the only witness" and when she asked him for money he gave it to her so she'd testify "knowing that she would buy heroine?" - "yes". She testified and he went to prison for the rest of his life (let's hope) but she died eight hours later, so he felt he had to help her daughter, who lives with her grandmother and they're broke, so he tries to help out. Barba already told the DA everything, and is yet to know what it will be of him. "we might have seen our last case together" - "is there anything that I can do?" - "what you always do, go after the son of a bitch". They find that Jennifer had recorded him too, so they see what happened. He was spying on her, controlling her, and when he hit her she fell and died; he dumped her body to make it loot like one of the serial killer's victims.
End: Benson and Barba talk about it and walk together, he's going to hear what the DA has decided to do with him... he says "I'd do it again" and "not everything done in the dark is shameful"
16- The newsroom
Benson is on a tv show with an actress who reported her assault ten years after the fact, raped by her director. The show hostess is visibly distressed and later she tells her that Harold Coyle raped her. A man comes to the station saying that Harold had assaulted his wife too, then threatened her and she killed herself a few months later. The tv producer backed Harold up. Heidi doesn't want to press it because she wants to negotiate her new contract instead of getting fired.
Barba is back to work after a suspension period. Heidi changes her mind after he humiliated her and they still replaced her with Marjorie (officially they said she was on vacation, which actually means fired). She tells them everything, but they find no trace. Marjorie denies knowing anything and when Benson and Dodds question him, Coyle threatens to uncover things about them, about Dodds junior's death.. but Dodds senior doesn't think Liv responsible and apologises for what he said back then. Other women come forward with stories of harassment, but they won't be allowed in the trial. They try to convince one of Heide's work partners, saying that at least "you go down as a hero", but then Coyle threatens to reveals secrets about his daughter.
Marjorie testifies that Coyle is a great boss and thinks she's got to be loyal to him; that's because he has a tape on her too. He tries to rape her too but she runs away. She filmed it all, so now Coyle takes a deal and is sentenced to eighteen months.
17- Real fake news
No Barba in this episode.
Prominent political figure Luke Bolton comes to Benson saying that on the internet there's a disturbing fake news that he's involved in prostitution connected with a Chinese restaurant. They check it out but all the news on the restaurant seem to be fake, created by Ronald Duca's website. He's making money out of all the people visiting his website. Someone even planted stuff on Bolton's computer, but not him. Duca refuses them to look at his computers and he challenges the subpoena in court representing himself. The police are represented by a really good woman who wins. Duca says that two million people believe everything he says, and even attacks Benson and Rollins posting pictures of them with their children, saying that they have no fathers and have been given to them as payoffs... They find a guy payed to plant that stuff on Bolton's computer. He tells them where he found those real pictures, and they uncover a real girls-trafficking ring. They save one girl who leads them to a house with four more, and arrest a guy.
Liv warns Duca to stop and admit all his false accusations, and they think that this one's over, until the congressman gets murdered. He wanted to show publicly how that Chinese restaurant was ok and he went there to have lunch with his daughters, when a stupid crazy guy came in and shot him dead. All because he had read some lie on the internet and wasn't smart enough to think for himself but stupid enough to pick a weapon and shoot a man with absolutely no proof of his guilt.
18- Spellbound
Abby goes to a spiritual retreat and the next day she says the "healer" raped her, Declan Trask, a guy who takes 5000 dollars for a weekend retreat. Liv:"anyone who claims they can change your life in a weekend: can't". Finn questions other people who attended those retreats, and says "okay I'm happy for you" after a woman described to him her bizarre visions after she took a drug at the retreat, and that was funny :p
Abby remembers everything, also how dizzy she felt and with no control over her body while he kept talking and whispering to her, so she thought she had been drugged but there were no traces of drugs in her body. They discover a previous accuse from another woman who died of cancer later. She had recorded a message with her lawyer though, and she had the same exact experience as Abby, almost word for word, and Barba suggests that maybe these women were hypnotised. They find the guy who taught him how to hypnotise people, and Declan's view of the matter is that if it works it's because that's what they really want :-/ They arrest him and go to trial, and they try to shame her, and his lawyer tries to make a deal but Abby wants to go to trial. It's not going well, they find a way to show that he's a liar, and he's found guilty. Abby is sad because she may have lost her boyfriend Steven in the process, and Liv tells her that if she wants him back she must fight for it and that if it still doesn't work out it might not be worth it, and Barba says "who knows, maybe it'll all work out".... he looked not-too-convinced but hopeful..
19- Conversion
Ann is an 18 year-old girl, "part of a visiting church group" from Indiana. She was raped in her hotel room. Her girl friend Lydia says that it was rape, but her boy friend Lucas says that it was not assault, that he was actually saving her soul. He called it "curative intercourse" to cure her form her attraction to Lydia, and Ann kind of believes it too, because homosexuality, she says, is an unforgivable sin
* rollingeyes * and the reverend says that it's an expression of his "religious belief", even her mother agrees with the reverend.
Liv "they're saying that rape is ok if it's done for religious belief" - Barba "I don't remember reading that in the Bible". There's a trial and they insist on saying that they were right and Lucas did nothing wrong. Basically the reverend taught them all that. The reverend told him to do that to cure both her and himself, because he's gay too. He's done that many other times and they threaten him to call the FBI on a sex-trafficking ring, so he takes the deal, and I don't know what will be of him, but Lucas took a deal too and went to prison and Ann visited him there, saying that she had a chance to decide her path herself but he took it from her, and also that God made them that way, and how can love be a sin, and stuff like that. Finally she starts thinking with her own head.
Of course it all falls back on the usual thing: people want to control other people, to feel superior to other people, probably because they're so worthless themselves, there's a lot of this in the world: an adult feeling strong because able to beat a child, an armed person feeling powerful because able to overpower an unarmed one, or a man overpowering a girl, or a heterosexual woman feeling superior to a lesbian because she sleeps with men, wow, great accomplishment, well done you, make your parents proud do you? is that all you've got going for yourself?
20- American dream
A Syrian family's restaurant is robbed, the father is badly stabbed, the two daughters are raped. One is in a hospital, the other died. The scums wrote 'muslims must die' so it's considered a hate crime. Both girls were born in America, been there all their lives. The father died too. It turns out that the mother's brother was there but was too scared to do anything and simply ran away (I have no words...)
He can identify one man, Hector. Jusuf has no papers and he's gay, so he's scared as hell because if he's sent back he'll be killed. Hector keeps saying that he wasn't there. During a protest, Jusuf is arrested by I.C.E. because he's an illegal immigrant and they call him a "national security threat" and he is deported. They try to argue but the brute with the badge is all "get the hell out of here". Barba: "or what? are you gonna deport me to Cuba? and take him to Italy?" about Carisi (a line I love not just because it's sassy how he says that but also because that's a good point, all Americans - but the natives - are immigrants, and if you only leave the pure English and take away all the others, how many would be left?) . As much as they try to get Jusuf back, they fail and he's deported.
21- Sanctuary
After being released, Hector is held hostage by two guys with guns, one of which is killed by the cops. The situation is getting out of control, they have nothing so Liv threatens to call ICE on Hector's wife until she yields and admits that he has no alibi. Only now Hector reveals the names of the other two guys. Barba indicts them. Hector takes the deal of course and pleads guilty. Barba talks to the reporters outside and when shots are fired Liv yells and takes Barba to safety while Carisi runs to see what happened. Hector was shot, killed, and without him now there's no case. One of the two guys' wife complaints that since she's no minority "it's like we just don't matter anymore", and after her words of hate Dodds says "what's happening to this Country, it's like all of a sudden people feel free to say all the horrible things they're thinking out loud, no common decency, no filter" and Barba: "people have always felt this way, and now they just feel empowered, they have permission".
Everything about this phrase is both true and terrifying.
They have nothing, then Maya the mother comes saying that she saw their faces and will testify. Liv doesn't believe her, Barba doesn't care because that's all he has to go on. During cross examination, her plan is clear in the defence lawyer's words, so she testifies that she told Benson weeks before and Barba sort-of asks her to lie and back up Maya's story. She does not lie though and Maya is angry, "you said you cared!". Finally Liv is able to reach the bastard's wife telling her the next dead woman might be her, so when she gets the stand she tells the truth and says that he wasn't with her that night, that he was out and that there was blood on him when he got back. The guy was so enraged that he tried to get to her right there in court, shouting that she was dead... they got the conviction, and afterwards Barba went to see Liv. When she refused a drink together (as she always does, anyway) he asks her if she's upset with him, "no" - "disenchanted?" - a smile, but she doesn't reply because they are interrupted by Dodds barging in with more bad news, because hate never stops :-/
