New Facial Expression Upwardly Constabulary & Guild Svu “Something Happened” Recap & Review
December 08, 2018
Edit
Something sure happened inward this episode of Law & Order SVU. The even spent most of the concealment fourth dimension on Benson in addition to potential rape victim Laurel Linwood. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 ticking clock on the occasional scene cards seemed to live an endeavour to add together tension to the episode, but every bit this representative didn’t seem to live fourth dimension sensitive inward whatever way, the trial was wasted. (I believe Law & Order used this trial 1 time inward a "day-in-the life" episode in addition to it worked really well.) With the exception of a few scenes amongst detectives exterior the SVU, the detectives in addition to Barba were reduced to existent window dressing, spending much of the fourth dimension at the observation window. I applaud them for trying something different, but I’ll acknowledge that I had a difficult fourth dimension connecting amongst this episode.
Laurel Linwood was flora at the New York Natural History Museum past times a flat of sixth graders. She was shaken in addition to crying; safety called 911, in addition to she was taken to St. Vincent’s infirmary in addition to the infirmary in addition to then called the SVU. She told the physician she was raped thus they did a rape kit in addition to the tox concealment was clean. Soon afterward, Laurel is at the SVU inward the interrogation room; Carisi says she’s inward “real bad shape” in addition to he in addition to Rollins can’t larn her to say anything. (Benson subsequently throws this inward Rollin’s human face upwardly when Rollins offers to accept over questioning in addition to Benson jabs that Rollins couldn’t larn Laurel to say give-and-take one.) Quickly, after solely a few words from Benson, Laurel speaks in addition to doesn’t run across the indicate of talking, they volition never grab him every bit she can’t recall anything.
When the episode synopsis was initially released, it said “Benson must let on the secrets of her past times to aid a rape victim.” An NBC promo mentioned “When Olivia tells her secret”. Did I immature lady the secret(s)? I didn’t listen anything novel or surprising, fifty-fifty that Benson is “not Jesus.” We knew that Benson shell William Lewis. Why did Fin say “We withdraw to halt this?” when Benson started talking almost her father? Was he worried that Benson couldn’t grip discussing the issue, after all these years? (I would direct keep expected Fin to seek to halt Benson when she brought upwardly William Lewis every bit what she could direct keep said in that place could direct keep been to a greater extent than traumatizing for Benson to rehash.) We knew her father, “Joe”, raped her woman rear in addition to Benson didn’t actually know her father, Benson admitting it bothered her he never looked for her, in addition to that she hated him. It surprises me that Benson would withal live such a fragile bloom on the number of her begetter after all this time. So unless I dozed off in addition to missed something major, the whole “When Olivia tells her secret” claw savage apartment for me.
I’m non sure why I flora this amusing, but the lightning tempest during the scene where Benson talks to a greater extent than almost her ain issues amongst her begetter seemed similar it belonged inward a cheesy horror flick.
At to the lowest degree the episode provided 1 surprise: Laurel was no victim of rape, her late deceased begetter sexually abused her sister, Laurel was jealous of her (wondering why her begetter didn’t selection herself instead), in addition to she killed the individual who reminded her of her father. Laurel waited until he was asleep in addition to and then she stabbed him. She stated she but wanted her begetter to honey her. Before this reveal, Benson compared the province of affairs to ripples created past times throwing a stone into a pond, destroying everything inward its wake, past times her begetter throwing an “insidious rock” into Laurel’s identify unit of measurement which covered all of the family. Benson, inward her whisper tones, said they are all collateral damage, in addition to Laurel notes it is similar Benson. Laurel knows she is going to prison, lastly admitting what actually happened. More probable she volition live going to a mental hospital. Who knows what volition come upwardly out after a medical practiced questions Laurel?
The advance photos released for this episode included approximately images of Benson amongst Noah, yet those scenes were nowhere to live found. I assume we’ll eventually run across a deleted scene roofing those photos.
