Law & Order SVU “Valentine’s Day” Recap & Review

Law & Order SVU “Valentine’s Day” didn’t air around that holiday, but it certainly is an episode that fans should love watching. It appears that a crime has been committed - a rape and kidnapping of a businessman’s wife, Christine, from her home while her shocked husband watched helplessly via Skype, thousands of miles away. But it seems he was just a victim to his wife’s desire to have “play dates” with a delivery man. Not only is her husband in total denial, but she also uses the clueless delivery man to set up the whole scenario to cover her tracks. Of course, the entire problem could have been avoided if Christine would have just had her little play time before her husband returned – after all, he did have a 16 hour flight ahead of him. Instead, she concocts this elaborate story, possibly in order to swindle her husband out of some money in the process. She keeps up with her lies and is very practiced at lying, and she ultimately finds a way to ensnare a juror to have an ally in jury deliberations. Despite the story being predictable, this was an excellent episode with a great cast that complemented the story well. It was nice to have Diane Neal appear in the episode in more than just the usual cameos. As I am a huge Law & Order fan, I really appreciate it when SVU episode includes some courtroom drama.

While the detectives work the case, Nick Amaro has some time with his wife who has been home for only a short time. He senses that something is going on with her that she’s not sharing with him. Working the case and seeing how Christine’s husband Boyd seemed oblivious to the glaring evidence that his wife was a cheat and a liar, Nick takes to following his own wife and sees her enter the apartment of a strange man. Is it an innocent meeting or is there something else going on? It certainly does not look good for Nick’s marriage as trust issues are clearly brewing. I have to admit that while I really don’t care too much for the storyline of Nick and his wife, I thought that the coverage was just right.

Here is the recap:
Cast:
Mariska Hargitay – Detective Olivia Benson
Ice-T – Detective Odafin “Fin” Tutuola
Richard Belzer – Sergeant John Munch
Dann Florek – Captain Don Cragen
Kelli Giddish - Detective Amanda Rollins
Danny Pino - Detective Nick Amaro

Guest stars:
Diane Neal – ADA Casey Novak
Chloe Sevigny – Christine Hartwell
Laura Benanti - Maria Grazie
Rich Sommer – Boyd Hartwell
Ron Rifkin – Marvin Exley
Jenna Stern - Judge Elana Barth
Shawn Hatosy – Kevin Fahey
Josh Randall – Justin Geld
Matt LoGuercio – Juror Number Seven
John Solo - Brad Hayes
Carsey Walker Jr. - Darel Jefferson
Angel Pai – Lien
Gameela Wright – Jury Foreperson
Lucy Fava – Madison Hartwell


At the Hong Kong airport, Boyd Hartwell is getting ready to return home. He’s on the phone with someone talking about a business deal and tells the caller that  his wife wants to video chat before he boards the plane. He calls on Skype and reaches his wife Christine. They make small talk and she tells him their daughter Madison is at their mother’s house. He tells her that he canceled his London trip and she is coming straight home, and adds “Happy Valentine’s Day.” She seems happy that he will be home tomorrow. When she says she didn’t get him anything, he talks about what he likes – the see through thing with garters that he got her. She talks about the lingerie she is wearing now. He asks her to take it off and she vamps for the camera. The doorbell rings and she comments on the nice timing, saying it is the cleaners. She glances back at the web cam and he reminds her to come back as he checks his phone. But when he hears her sound as if she is in trouble, he looks to the computer screen and sees a man dressed in back holding a gun to her and she pleads and calls for help. Boyd uses his phone to take a photo form the screen and yells for somebody to call 911 in New York. The attacker pushes her against the counter and holds the gun to her head, saying to the web cam if he calls the cops she will be dead, and he shuts the web cam down.

On the scene with Benson, Amaro says the alleged victim is Christine Hartwell, her husband Boyd says he saw someone break in and rape his wife and witnessed the whole think on V-chat. He was at Hong Kong International and he called his mother and told her not to call the police, but she couldn’t sleep and called them an hour ago and when the unis got there, Christine was not there. Benson notices there is no sign of forced entry as both doors look untouched and wonders if it was someone she knew. Amaro thinks maybe not, the video camera is out. He thinks she opened the door, the attacker pushes her in, there is a struggle. Amaro says Christine’s daughter Madison, who is five, stayed with her grandmother last night. Benson sees clothes laying on the kitchen floor and asks an officer to get CSU in there, and also TARU to see if they can get an image off the laptop. Amaro notices blood on the counter. The attacker raped her in full view of the screen, and Amaro says it was to show he means business, as if it was deliberate and personal. Benson comments that he forced her to leave with him, and Rollins enters with Fin and says the neighbors did not see a thing, Fin adding they saw no one came in or out of the house last night. They have not heard of a ransom demand. They have not heard from his as his plane does not land until noon. Amaro comments about the 16 hours, saying it will be the longest flight of Boyd’s life.

At a playground while Madison plays, her grandmother speaks with Amaro and Benson. She is worried she did the right thing by calling the police. She last saw Christine yesterday afternoon when she dropped off Madison and she seemed fine. Boyd works a lot but his family comes first. She claims they are still in love after 10 years of marriage.

Back at SVU, Benson and Amaro bring Cragen up to speed. Christine has been missing for 12 hours and the only witness is in the air. There is no activity on her credit cards. Cragen thinks it may be somebody she’s crossed paths with. Rollins explains that Boyd and his partner Justin Geld started a hedge fund years ago and Christine is a stay at home mom. Fin adds they do the regular rich people mambo. Rollins states there were a few complaints about the hedge fund filed against Boyd’s partner and the company paid some fines and admitted no wrongdoing and the complaints were withdrawn. Benson says that Christine had lunch with Geld on Friday and a month ago her husband was in Brazil and there was another lunch. Cragen asks Fin and Rollins to check on Christine and her lunches and tells Benson and Amaro to meet Boyd’s plane at JFK so as to not give him a chance to go rogue.
