New Aspect Upward Constabulary & Gild Svu “Lost Reputation/Above Suspicion” Recap & Review
January 19, 2019
Edit
The flavor xiii finale of Law & Order SVU “Rhodium Nights” began amongst a dead adult woman at a bachelor political party amongst high-profile attendees. This chop-chop turned into a to a greater extent than complicated illustration involving an undercover detective, pimp wars, together with possible corruption at diverse levels of law enforcement together with government. Amaro’s marital problems together with his interactions amongst a witness, together with Benson’s past times human relationship amongst ADA Haden could live used against them. As if that was non enough, the flavor ended amongst Captain Cragen waking upwardly to discover a dead escort inward his bed, the witness inward the initial murder case.
Season xiv completes the story inward a 2 episode flavor premiere where Captain Cragen ends upwardly inward Rikers, Amaro finds his matrimony falling apart amongst his married adult woman leaving town amongst their daughter, together with the SVU squad tries to acquire to the bottom of 2 dueling pimps together with the related murder victims who are chop-chop piling upwardly inward their wake. We also receive got an interim captain who does what interim captains are supposed to practise – acquire on everyone’s nerves at a fourth dimension when everyone is ever on edge.
Looking at the episodes individually, “Lost Reputation” felt a picayune dull. With the exception of the in conclusion scene amongst Amaro together with Cassidy, the episode seemed devoid of suspense for me. It was also during this episode when I had the strong feeling that Foster was component subdivision of the problem. It was every bit if her daughter’s medical occupation screamed “I would sell my soul for money.” I chop-chop forgot my slight disappointment inward that episode after watching “Above Suspicion” which picked upwardly the measuring together with brought some much needed drama together with surprise. The carjacking together with subsequent shooting scene was done really good together with Benson’s anguish over Cassidy existence shot felt really real. Despite Benson together with Cassidy’s infirmary kiss, I wonder if in that location tin can live whatsoever sustained romance betwixt those two. Does Benson know plenty most him to actually trust Cassidy?
Count me every bit i soul who is happy that Amaro’s married adult woman together with immature lady are out of the motion-picture exhibit (and I hope they rest out). The story lines dealing amongst his matrimony were non fifty-fifty remotely interesting to me together with I ever felt they got inward the way of the telling of special victims stories. (If it way anything, I never liked whatsoever stories dealing amongst Stabler’s married adult woman together with kids, either, therefore at to the lowest degree I am consistent.) I think that Danny Pino did a fine chore of making Nick Amaro into an emotional ticking fourth dimension bomb, but I hope Amaro doesn't take hold on to the anger issues every bit long every bit Stabler.
Paget Brewster was a perfect fit every bit Paula Foster, who was both the tough, rational Public Integrity Unit DA together with also the caring woman bring upwardly who worried most her modest fry who had a serious, together with expensive, medical problem. Adam Baldwin was a prissy add-on every bit the really authoritative interim captain.
All inward all, this was a fine start to the Law & Order SVU’s 14th season. I’m looking forwards to seeing what repercussions this illustration volition receive got on the squad every bit the flavor unfolds.

Amaro joins them together with they acquire quiet, but he says they either trust him or they don’t. Munch tells him to sit down down. He asks how is Cassidy together with Benson says he is sedated but out of critical condition. Rollins tells Benson that could receive got been her that got shot together with they all receive got to lookout adult man each other’s backs. Fin explains that Archibald got a move telephone call upwardly 2 minutes before Cassidy stepped exterior together with Fin has the jail cellular telephone phone number – a no call cell. Benson bets Gonzales got the same telephone call upwardly from the same cell. Rollins says the nighttime Carissa was killed, she called Amaro, the squad room, together with Cassidy once, but in that location was a number they could non delineate – together with finds that the number matches the move call.

Later, Amaro together with Rollins are at a playground where they speak amongst officeholder Gonzales who is in that location amongst her sister. They enquire her to select a walk.

In an empty courtroom along amongst Rollins, Benson tells Foster that after curlicue call, Gonzales’ Sergeant Ted Koundak pulls her aside together with says they receive got a tip on a motorcar ring.

He replies no way, she would receive got simply pulled him inward together with and therefore he’d move dorsum to investigating dry out cleaner respite ins. He adds he is similar her, this chore is the only thing he’s got. She says she is non who she used to be, but he says “Sure y'all are.” She insists she is not, together with and therefore leans inward together with kisses him.

One of Ganzel's girls, Joy, calls to him together with he turns to view Fin together with Rollins. He chastises Joy for letting them in. They laid out to arrest him, together with Ganzel flashes some coin to attempt to bribe them. Then he throws his purse at Fin together with tries to run but Rollins catches upwardly amongst him together with punches Ganzel, proverb that is her partner. She cuffs him.
At arraignment, Foster explains this is the culmination of a iii twelvemonth investigation into Ganzel’s illegal line concern together with they think to convey multiple charges, including attempted murder of an undercover constabulary officer. Barry says Ganzel volition live pleading non guilty on all accounts. Foster requests remand together with says they receive got evidence that Barry is component subdivision of the conspiracy together with they volition live moving to receive got him removed every bit counsel. The estimate says i measuring at a time, together with pending Ganzel’s understanding to receive got theatre arrest together with electronic monitoring - Foster interrupts together with says Ganzel’s theatre is a theatre of prostitution – he sets bail at $200K.

He claims he knows cipher most it. Benson says Ganzel does together with he trust him. She adds Ganzel is a liability, he won’t simply lose his license, he volition move to prison. Barry believes inward loyalty, but Benson reminds him his customer – non therefore much. Benson comments he should hear what he says most him when his dorsum is turned. Foster says this is a courtesy together with is off the tape – Benson starts playback of a tape – together with Ganzel is heard badmouthing Barry together with making bigoted remarks. Ganzel also says Barry’s signature is on everything, he had some other lawyer laid it up. Barry comments, “Ah, the casual racism of the sweaty underclass.” Benson explains in that location are hours of this. He says he gets the gist, but Foster says every bit long every bit he continues to stand upwardly for Ganzel, they can’t aid each other.
Back at Ganzel’s, Barry is existence frisked past times i of Ganzel’s men. Ganzel together with therefore tells the guy to scram, complaining he volition never discover someone every bit goodness every bit Cassidy. He complains most the talocrural articulation monitor. Barry says he is in that location to say he tin can no longer stand upwardly for him, Ganzel asks if he is serious that he isn’t his lawyer, together with Barry says that is correct.
