However, as other commenters noted, the rape of the 16-year-old felt very unnecessary, and the scene itself was triggering and upsetting to watch (which is unusual for an SVU episode). It ultimately distracted me from much of the second half of the episode, andAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17771145453516237718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2412211079606886638.post-46434841141144834542019-10-26T20:48:56.015-04:002019-10-26T20:48:56.015-04:00Very good jobVery good jobAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18123776897549445122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2412211079606886638.post-2484156249497573642016-12-08T21:17:15.463-05:002016-12-08T21:17:15.463-05:00I'm watching this as a rerun right now, and wa...I'm watching this as a rerun right now, and wanted to see if anyone else thought Olivia is a total imbecile in this episode.

Tucker is an old character from the early 2000s for the show since he was a sergeant, so it would be nice to learn more about him, actually. I'm done with Benson's abduction/hostage/kidnapping stories. They exhausted them with William Lewis's storyline.
