New Aspect Upwards Constabulary & Guild Svu “Send Inwards The Clowns” Recap & Review

I swear that the alone people that similar clowns are…clowns. But “Send In The Clowns” focused to a greater extent than on identify unit of measurement that it did on actual clowns. While I found most of the episode predictable, the fast mensuration together with twist at the halt made it a worthwhile watch.

This episode began amongst seizure-inducing scenes at a circus-themed trip the low-cal fantastic toe guild where 16-year-old Haley – a musical prodigy - parties amongst a guy inwards a clown mask together with and thus she disappears. At offset it seems her chaperone, James Turner, hasn’t done his undertaking inwards keeping an oculus on her. I straightaway mean value he did the undertaking TOO well; the infinitesimal I saw the chaperone, I felt he was behind her disappearance. My suspicions alone grew when the detectives rapidly nab a suspect - Vincent Drago, who worked for a butcher - early together with the show against him was likewise staged. Of course of educational activity he denies killing her. After seeing Haley perform on the pianoforte inwards a tidings story, Stone decides to arraign Vincent for murder two charges together with earlier i could blink, nosotros went from arraignment to Vincent on trial.

The biggest occupation amongst Stone’s case: at that spot is no body. I am fully aware of the compression of fourth dimension inwards the SVU universe but inwards reality the timing of the murder trial is ridiculous. The detectives nabbed Vincent on March 14, Haley was missing iii days when they searched the garbage dump on March 17, together with yesteryear March 20, the trial was inwards progress together with they were already on the trail to apprehend James Turner. I know Stone is supposed to last expert but I would mean value he’d demand to a greater extent than prep fourth dimension and/or at that spot would last to a greater extent than arguments from the defence close the “no body” issue.  It would withdraw hold made to a greater extent than sense to withdraw hold the arraignment together with delay Vincent’s trial together with instead movement on to investigating together with finding James Turner. I suspect they wanted to give to a greater extent than concealment fourth dimension for Peter Stone, something to which I would non object!

Despite my gut feeling early that James was behind Haley’s disappearance, this didn’t hateful this episode had no surprises. With Haley’s father’s over-the-top reactions to his daughter’s disappearance, I felt strongly that Haley had left her smothering begetter Chris of her ain gratis will. This was confirmed when the detectives grab upwardly amongst James inwards an Oyster Bay theater that belonged to a “colleague” together with divulge Haley together with James inwards bed together together with she professes her honey for him. The BIG surprise comes when they are all dorsum at SVU when Haley is reunited amongst her parents, together with Haley’s mom Anna is the i who has an over-the-top reaction. She rapidly announces that 17 years agone she had sexual practice – alone i time - amongst James, together with Haley is HIS daughter. James had been sleeping amongst his ain biological missy together with he didn’t know. Later, Benson has to explicate to Stone close genetic sexual attraction: it tin come about when a begetter together with a missy don’t grow upwardly inwards the same household together with they view equally adults. In a weird-feeling segue, Stone uses this father-daughter province of affairs to convey upwardly fathers together with sons, mentioning that he wishes at times his begetter was somebody else. Benson agrees – for reasons nosotros all know regarding her ain father.

Benson worries that this representative volition lay Stone dorsum on the side yesteryear side develop to Chicago, but Stone explains that he made a hope to his sis Pamela, who has schizophrenia together with lives inwards Bayview Mental Health Facility inwards South Salem, New York. He is treatment the weekly visits there, at nowadays that his begetter is dead. At the halt of the episode, he visits her but she doesn’t seem to know who he is, thinking he is her father. Stone gets the closing scene equally he exits the edifice together with appears to sadly reverberate on this situation. Maybe because Peter Stone was an established grapheme amongst Chicago Justice together with his begetter was a fellow member of the Law & Order universe, it seems that Stone is getting a faster, to a greater extent than detailed dorsum even out that Rafael Barba ever did. This was something I would withdraw hold loved to view for Barba but I am glad that they are moving thus rapidly to give Peter Stone simply about depth.

Another summation is that Fin in conclusion gets simply about much needed identify unit of measurement attention. He gets a see from his boy Ken together with Ken's husband Alejandro, who convey a birthday cake for Fin decorated amongst a clown. Alejandro rapidly blames Fin’s grandson Jaden for picking the cake.

The Benson/Stone dynamic continues to build, together with hopefully shortly Stone volition realize that he shouldn’t last thus quick to withdraw hold Benson’s lead. I laughed when Stone asked Benson “Are you lot ever this persistent?” to which Benson replies, “Wait ‘til you lot larn to know me.”   Later, Benson says to Stone “Well I hope you’re non sorry I talked you lot into taking this to trial” together with he replies “Not yet.” My advice to Stone – run away from her equally fast equally you lot tin or you lot WILL last sorry.
