New Confront Police & Gild Svu “Decaying Morality” Recap & Review
January 10, 2019
Edit
I essay to avoid social media (Twitter specifically) piece watching SVU equally I desire to take away hold inward the episode in addition to cast my ain opinions virtually the case. But earlier the episode aired, I saw the hashtag “#NotCosbyOnSVU” in addition to became confused. I recalled a lot of press inward the weeks leading to this episode that SVU was going to do a Bill Cosby inspired episode in addition to I thought "Decaying Morality" was that episode. So why were people connected to the exhibit making a betoken of tweeting “#NotCosbyOnSVU”? Maybe they felt the initial disclaimer that the story was fictional in addition to did non depict whatever actual somebody or lawsuit wasn’t rigid enough? The perp of the calendar week was a grapheme who is revealed equally a long fourth dimension rapist/fondler who drugged his prey, in all likelihood the alone resemblance to the real-life story. I rest confused equally to why someone wanted us to think it WAS based on the Cosby story, but in addition to thus took slap-up pains to force dorsum on that hype equally the episode aired.
But dorsum to the episode. It was clear after the get-go commercial respite – in addition to amongst the opening credits nevertheless rolling – that the dentist (Neil) was the rapist. The big clue was the episode championship - “decaying” – reminiscent of tooth decay. Viewers also know that when a somebody is arrested rattling early on inward the episode, he/she likely isn’t the guilty party, thus Jerome was directly off the guilty list.
Speaking of the initial arrest, was it correct for Benson to arrest Jerome on the spot based alone on an accusation? The SVU squad was also quick to bound to conclusions in addition to care for Jerome equally guilty when at that spot wasn't 1 ounce of supporting proof. They WANTED him to live on guilty. Yet, when they confirm it’s Neil’s deoxyribonucleic acid from semen constitute within Jenna’s sweater, they allow Neil to walk out of SVU without arrest. It gives the appearance that a dark human being larn arrested while the piece human being walks gratis – both for the same accusation of rape. If Benson has 1 fault, it's that she is also focused on the victims. She needs to reverberate on Don Cragen's leadership means in addition to how he approached cases. Cragen had the correct residue betwixt work concern for the victim in addition to wanting to larn his ducks inward a row earlier he tipped his hand. He kept the SVU squad from leaping earlier they looked. Benson tipped her manus far also presently in addition to her squad followed her (wrong) lead.
Compounding the problem, data virtually the instance was freely given to Neil in addition to the identify unit of measurement virtually Jerome existence a suspect or existence released. Benson fifty-fifty tells Luke that they volition brand the case. The goal consequence was that data was used past times Neil to rile upwardly Luke which resulted Jerome’s murder. I ever thought that detectives kept a tight lip on their cases/suspects in addition to are cautious virtually designating a suspect to the identify unit of measurement to avoid these exact kinds of situations. Again, the SVU squad had Jerome equally their guilty human being in addition to were working hard to brand the evidence fit their suspect, rather than the other means around.
Thankfully, Jerome did non overstep away from breathing problems when Benson arrested him, although that would take away hold been a to a greater extent than interesting story. Instead, Jerome dies piece Luke has kidnapped, interrogated, in addition to tortured him. I was disturbed at the amount of sympathy that some members of the SVU squad had for Luke after Jerome died. I don’t blame Barba for his extreme annoyance amongst them for what he may take away hold perceived equally back upwardly for Luke’s actions, or that a legal instance against Luke would live on a tough go. I also don’t blame Barba (“Booyah Fordham Law”) for existence annoyed amongst Carisi who all of a precipitous can’t halt spouting his legal opinions based on his ain law studies. While I am on the acre of study of Carisi: what is upwardly amongst him inward this episode? He seemed to a greater extent than testy in addition to mouthy than green (example: his comment to “mute that witch”). It goes without proverb that purposely injuring Neil’s fingers piece he was existence finger printed is rattling incorrect in addition to rattling concerning. Carisi went from normal to psycho inward 1 episode. His comment to Benson (“Her ain uncle.That can’t be) upon hearing that Jenna was raped past times her ain uncle was completely out of grapheme for Carisi. He’s been a detective long plenty that this regain should non take away hold shocked him.
Benson in addition to Rollins appear to take away hold set the past times behind them. Maybe Benson was trying to brand a connectedness amongst Rollins inward lodge to assist Rollins recover from her ain demons? Benson did seem rattling quick to forgive, but my spider senses tell me that Benson should maintain upwardly her guard,
The alone brilliant spot was waiting to reckon only what adjust Barba was going to live on wearing inward the side past times side scene. I think I counted at to the lowest degree half-dozen dissimilar suits (or perhaps fewer suits, only dissimilar ties). I could hear the Barba fans all over the province squealing over the tuxedo. It bothered me, though, that I felt to a greater extent than involvement inward Barba’s wardrobe changes than amongst this case.

He denies touching Jenna in addition to says he knows all the cops loathe him. When Amaro doesn’t empathise what Jerome meant past times that comment, Jerome thinks they are messing amongst him. When Fin walks into the room, Jerome complains this is police force harassment. As Fin leaves the room amongst Amaro in addition to Carisi, Jerome looks similar he is having an asthma problem.
Outside the room, Fin explains the prints came dorsum in addition to Jerome is THE Jerome Jones.

When Amaro makes a displace to move on questioning Jerome, Fin says Dodds in addition to Barba called, in addition to said to move piece of cake on Jerome until Barba gets here.
Back at the hospital, Luke in addition to Marcy Davis arrive, Luke telling Benson that is his lilliputian fille in addition to call for where is the bastard that did it?

In the infirmary room, Jenna explains that everything is sort of jumbled. She recalls leaving her uncle’s dentist’s component division in addition to was going to move to a friend’s house. She was at that spot for a little. She says she did non drinkable there. She explains she felt sick at her friend's in addition to decided to leave.

Back at SVU, Barba races into the squad room, dressed inward a tux, call for if Jerome Jones is nevertheless there.

As Barba races to the observation window, he adds Jerome has ammunition for some other faux arrest in addition to harassment lawsuit. Carisi says 1 to a greater extent than lawsuit from this guy in addition to they are all working Staten Island. Amaro says the Prospect Park 3 were guilty in addition to the lab only screwed up, in addition to Jerome is guilty of this too. Barba tells them to brand the instance airtight in addition to he volition charge; until then, permit Jerome go. When Amaro questions that, Barba reminds him Jerome is waiting on a $36 1 1000 one thousand judgment equally is non a flying risk. He tells them to larn Jerome out of at that spot – politely. As Barba walks off, Carisi asks Fin in addition to Amaro who wants to telephone telephone the Sergeant, in addition to Fin points to him in addition to says, “The novel guy.” Carisi asks, “Still?”
Back at the hospital, Benson is on the telephone amongst Carisi getting the bad news. She tells him to re-interview Jerome’s co-workers, set a rush on the DNA, in addition to she needs safety footage from the pizza place. Neil, who is also getting off the phone, races to Benson who also heard the news. She tells him non to worry, they volition brand the case. Luke approaches in addition to is upset when he hears the intelligence in addition to that Jerome is 1 of the Prospect Park 3. Benson explains at that spot were a lot of problems amongst that case, it was non only a lab issue. Neil thinks they are treating Jerome amongst modest fry gloves in addition to when Luke expresses his upset, Benson assures him they are non dropping the case, they only take away hold to collect equally much evidence equally they tin earlier charging him. Luke wonders who is pulling her strings, in addition to Benson says this is non virtually politics, they aid virtually his daughter. Luke retorts, “Not equally much equally I do.” As Luke storms off, Neil follows him. Telling Benson to permit Luke walk it off.
Back at SVU, Fin explains to the grouping that they constitute Jenna’s backpack at her friend’s theater in addition to her mom was at that spot the whole time, in addition to the girls were non partying. Carisi said she did say Jenna looked greenish when she left around 6. Rollins asks if the mom was inward the room amongst them, they could take away hold snuck a drinkable or popped a pill. Amaro adds that traffic cams picked upwardly Jenna 2 blocks from the pizza place, clearly staggering. They also reckon her going into the pizza identify in addition to 10 minutes after coming out amongst Jerome next her. Benson comments they’ve seen rapes that take away hold taken less fourth dimension than that. There is no video to the bathroom, Fin said at that spot is a glitch inward the pizza place’s safety footage in addition to they’ve sent it to TARU. Amaro got aught cast the co-workers. Carisi adds 1 client they tracked past times credit bill of fare recalled seeing an angry dark employee unlock the bath door in addition to heard Jenna scream. Benson thinks if she heard Jenna scream, someone else did in addition to to maintain canvassing in addition to force TARU to larn that safety footage. Her telephone rings in addition to inquire she moved to respond it, she says Barba wants this instance airtight. She asks the caller “Where?...Okay…yeah.” She looks to the detectives in addition to says it looks similar they don’t demand to set a rush on that DNA.
Elsewhere, police force in addition to criminal offence scene people are on the scene where Luke has been cuffed. Fin in addition to Carisi inquire Luke what happened, equally they expect onto Jerome’s trunk laying on the floor. Luke says he was trying to tape a confession in addition to did non hateful to kill him. Carisi, seeing rope tied to a chair, says it doesn’t expect similar an accident.
Back at SVU, Benson, the detectives in addition to Barba lookout adult man Luke’s video where he is questioning Jerome, who is tied to a chair. Luke threatens him amongst a boom gun. When he points it at Jerome’s groin in addition to tells Jerome to acknowledge he did it, Jerome says he did it. When Fin stops the video, he states that Luke did give CPR. Amaro says the ME thinks Jerome died from a pump onslaught triggered past times his asthma. Benson said Luke called 911 thus he did non intend to kill Luke. Barba says legally it doesn’t brand whatever difference. Amaro says that confession may complicate things. Rollins says the boom gun makes that confession coerced. Barba says either way, Luke Davis is looking at felony murder. Carisi asks Barba if he does know that the accused gets a gratis overstep if he tin exhibit he acted nether extreme emotional duress? Barba retorts “Booyah Fordham Law.” Barba says the facts are clear: Luke kidnapped Jerome Jones, tortured him, in addition to within an sixty minutes Jerome is dead. Benson said Jerome may live on dead but their project is to figure out whether or non he was guilty thus to maintain pushing the deoxyribonucleic acid in addition to larn the safety footage from TARU. Fin asks if Jerome is practiced for the rape…and Amaro says no means the jury convicts Luke. Barba comments, amongst dripping sarcasm, “Thank y'all for your support. If y'all come upwardly the arraignment, maintain your oral cavity shut.” He leaves the room.
At arraignment courtroom component division 31 on Friday, Jan 23, Luke is arraigned in addition to to the outrage of the gallery in addition to Jerome’s family, Luke pleads non guilty. After Counselor Desappio argues Luke called 911 in addition to Jerome confessed to raping Luke’s fille in addition to that Jerome died from asthma complications, some other 1 of Jerome’s relatives yells out that Luke tortured Jerome. But the judge, who cannot condone vigilantism, sets bail at $1 1 1000 one thousand in addition to remands Jerome to Rikers. Jenna consoles her dad, in addition to Neil tells Luke they volition larn him out of there.
Outside the courtroom, Barba tells Benson that went well. Reporters environs Jerome’s mother, who accuses the NYPD of framing Jerome in addition to and thus laid him upwardly to live on killed. She points out Jenna in addition to says Jenna is lying. Her mother, along amongst Neil, race Jenna away. Rollins in addition to Carisi approach Benson in addition to Barba in addition to explains that TARU got the footage from the pizza articulation in addition to Jerome was inward that bath for less than 2 minutes.
In a courthouse room, they lookout adult man the footage, in addition to Carisi explains Jerome was inward the bath less than ninety seconds. Benson notes the bath door was ajar. Rollins notes the draw of people exterior in addition to Jerome came out amongst her purse. Benson sees Jenna was fully dressed in addition to amongst her tights on. Rollins adds Jerome is fully clothed. Carisi says they are nevertheless waiting for the deoxyribonucleic acid on the sweater but Jerome did non take away hold plenty fourth dimension in addition to the door was open. Barba states the obvious: Luke killed an innocent kid. Benson wonders if Jenna was assaulted get-go in addition to and thus conflated things. Carisi suggests that Jenna is a sixteen twelvemonth one-time fille who got drunkard in addition to had sexual activity in addition to was afraid to telephone telephone her parents thus she cried rape. Benson suggests to maintain vetting her, her friends in addition to whatever boyfriends, in addition to to recheck texts in addition to social media in addition to regain out where she got that clonazepam. She adds non to choose her dorsum inward at that spot until they create total inward the gaps.
At Rikers, Marcy, at that spot amongst Jenna, speaks amongst Luke, in addition to when he comments to Jenna that Jerome was the 1 that did this to her, she doesn’t response correct away. But in addition to thus she says fifty-fifty if she is non sure, it’s ameliorate for Luke if she says he was. Luke looks at Marcy.
Back at SVU amongst Jenna inward the interview room, Amaro in addition to Rollins plays a recording of that jailhouse see in addition to they press her on her comment. They believe she was assaulted but non past times Jerome in addition to inquire if at that spot is something she has non told them. Meanwhile, Fin speaks amongst Marcy who is waiting inward the squad room. When Marcy doesn’t empathise why they can’t live on inward at that spot amongst Jenna, Fin explains Jenna may live on to a greater extent than gratis to speak without a parent present. After questioning, Jenna admits that she did take away hold a few sips of vodka at her friends in addition to and thus said it all started to fade after that. But equally they press her for to a greater extent than details, they inquire her to depict her seat when she was attacked. She sits dorsum inward a chair equally she would live on inward a dentist chair. She recalls hearing music but in addition to thus recalls the clink of his belt buckle. She says he pulled upwardly her sweater in addition to she couldn’t move, his hands were thus cold. She cries in addition to recalls he was wearing a big ring. She begs them non to tell her mom, who is already a mess. She admits it was a band similar her Uncle Neil wears in addition to thinks it was him. Rollins asks if she thinks, or does she know. Jenna says it was him, her Uncle Neil raped her. She sobs equally Benson in addition to Carisi lookout adult man from her office. Carisi comments, “Her ain uncle. That can’t be.” Benson replies, “Yes it can.”
Later, amongst the detectives in addition to Barba inward Benson’s office, they hash out this novel information. Benson thinks Jenna’s retention came dorsum inward pieces in addition to Jenna did non desire to believe it. Barba comments he doesn’t know if he wants to either; aside from consulting for them, Neil is big on the charity circuit, setting upwardly dental clinics inward 3rd globe countries. Carisi comments Neil testified inward dozens of cases in addition to if he is a rapist, all those convictions come upwardly dorsum into question. Barba glares at Carisi in addition to dryly replies “Yeah, non to cite that.” Benson says that Jenna has no motive to prevarication in addition to sticking to the Jerome story helps her father. Amaro thinks it matches the dentist’s office, in addition to Fin comments this is why he doesn’t trust dentists. Benson asks them to regain out why it is taking thus long for the deoxyribonucleic acid on the sweater, they should know if it is a familial check past times now. Amaro moans practiced luck on getting a sample from Neil amongst a warrant in 1 lawsuit Jenna tells her woman parent in addition to her woman parent tells him. Barba tells them to handgrip them hither longer promotion regain a pretext similar mug shots to do so. Benson tells Amaro in addition to Carisi to buddy upwardly to Neil in addition to to permit him know they are on Luke’s side in addition to larn his DNA.
At the Neil’s component division on Sunday, Jan 25, Neil says he knows what is going on, they were ordered to exonerate Jerome. Carisi blames One PP in addition to politics in addition to Amaro they desire to brand certain they set blame where it belongs – on Jerome. They cite at that spot was deoxyribonucleic acid nether Jenna’s fingernails in addition to say they are trying to dominion out friends in addition to identify unit of measurement in addition to anyone who was inward contact amongst her that day. Once they are cleared, everyone volition know it was Jerome. Neil comments that since Jenna was inward his component division that afternoon…and Amaro replies “Exactly” adding they volition demand a sample from anyone who was inward the component division that 24-hour interval including 1 from Neil. There is a knock on the door in addition to an assistant mentions a patient has been nether a few minutes. Neil introduces her equally his wife. Jiya. As he moves to attend to the patient, he tells her to larn the detectives the patient listing from the 24-hour interval Jenna was there. Carisi presses for the deoxyribonucleic acid swab in addition to Neil complies. As Neil leaves, the detectives follow Jiya to larn the list. Jiya comments that Jenna is such a tragedy in addition to Luke too. She said Jenna was fine when she left the component division that 24-hour interval but says they maintain the anti-anxiety med bottles locked up. She implies that it is possible she could take away hold gotten access to pills that were left out.
Outside the office, Amaro comments to Carisi that Jiya was quick to throw Jenna nether the charabanc in addition to implies she stole the meds. Carisi suspects she is protecting Neil in addition to she knows what’s coming.
Back at SVU, Benson hears their theory that Neil raped Jenna piece the hygienist/wife guarded the door. Amaro explains it is a modest office. Benson states the working theory is Jiya gave Jenna the meds piece she was inward the dentist chair, them the nitrous. Jenna was thus out of it she could non procedure that she was existence raped but she was inward hurting afterwards thus she did a few shots of vodka at her friend’s house. Rollins adds that mixes amongst the meds in addition to Jenna starts to lose it on the means home. Amaro says Jenna staggers into the bath at the pizza identify in addition to Jerome walks inward in addition to she panics. Benson thinks Jenna was inward denial virtually existence raped past times her uncle in addition to she puts the whole thing on Jerome. Fin sees a message on his telephone in addition to tells the others that the working theory has only move fact; the dentist’s deoxyribonucleic acid matches the semen constitute on Jenna’s sweater.
Later, Amaro in addition to Carisi take away hold Neil inward the interview room in addition to press him on the deoxyribonucleic acid in addition to the semen. Neil claims that he had sexual activity amongst his married adult woman on the chair earlier Jenna came in. Amaro tells him Jenna said HE raped her, in addition to Neil denies it. He claims he would never affect her or whatever patient. He thinks nitrous tin telephone telephone hallucinations in addition to Jiya thinks Jenna helped herself to the meds in addition to Jenna also had alcohol. They move on to press him but he thinks this is fantasy in addition to if they maintain this up, they may all live on deposed inward some other lawsuit. He says he has a practise to run in addition to he chop-chop leaves.
Afterwards, Rollins states Neil is correct virtually the drugs in addition to booze. Benson thinks if Neil actually did rape his niece piece his married adult woman was inward the office…Fin finishes the judgement proverb this is non Neil’s get-go time. Benson suggests a total courtroom press – the side past times side fourth dimension Neil comes through the doors, he volition live on wearing cuffs.
Later, Benson, who has her coat on in addition to looks create to leave, asks the detectives to tell her they constitute something. Rollins constitute a lawsuit v years agone but the records are sealed in addition to the attorney could non speak but hypothetically it was non virtually bad dentistry. They can’t speak to the patient but Rollins volition reckon if Barba tin operate around the confidentiality agreement. Benson says she volition telephone telephone him in addition to to maintain digging. As Benson moves to leave, Marcy in addition to Jenna move inward the squad room in addition to Marcy states that Jenna needs to tell her something.
In the interview room amongst Benson, Barba, in addition to Rollins, Jenna retracts her accusation against Neil. Her therapist told her that Jenna was confused in addition to trauma, drugs, in addition to alcohol tin mess amongst brusk term memory. Barba is less than thrilled that she went to a therapist. Marcy said the therapist said what happened to Jenna made her suggestible in addition to when she left Jenna solitary amongst them, they planted that idea. Rollins emphatically denies this. Marcy asks if they take away hold ever fifty-fifty heard of faux memories, in addition to Benson chop-chop replies of course of teaching they take away hold but something this traumatic takes fourth dimension to process. Bits in addition to pieces come upwardly dorsum slowly. Marcy claims they are framing Neil in addition to they are using Jenna to do it. Barba asks if they were referred to the therapist past times her brother, in addition to Mary tells them non to twist this. Barba firmly states he knows this is hard in addition to reminds her that at that spot was deoxyribonucleic acid evidence on her sweater. When Marcy says Neil told her how it got there, Rollins fires back, call for if Neil told her how it got INSIDE Jenna’s sweater. Marcy says they are non listening anymore in addition to instructs Jenna to tell them it was all a lie. Jenna says she is non accusing her uncle in addition to he would never do that to her.
After, Barba moans “Well, at that spot goes that case.” Benson says non thus fast; they know what happened in addition to Marcy is pressuring Jenna. Barba asks if whatever other vic take away hold come upwardly forward, in addition to Rollins replies no, only the 1 lawsuit thus far. Amaro suggests that Barba larn a subpoena for Neil’s patient records in addition to start talking to everyone he’s worked on, in addition to Carisi counters if they do that, it volition play into Neil’s claim that the NYPD has an agenda. Fin advise letting the patients come upwardly to them, call for Benson if she is nevertheless friends amongst the reporter, Jimmy Mac. Benson says they maintain inward affect in addition to says she does ain him a drink. Barba strongly tells them non to leak this to the press. Benson counters that they all know that at that spot are to a greater extent than victims out at that spot in addition to each 1 of them thinks they are the alone ones in addition to nobody volition believe them. As presently equally they regain out that it happened to others, they volition come upwardly forward. Carisi likens it to throwing a stone in addition to watching the ripples. Barba sternly comments he is non hearing ay of this.
The side past times side 24-hour interval at SVU, they lookout adult man a intelligence study where Neil, along amongst his wife, is stating he was sickened past times the headlines. He mentions his ain accomplishments. Amaro comments virtually his married adult woman standing past times him in addition to Rollins asks what is she going to do, he is her whole life. Carisi blurts out that she looks drugged. He thinks Neil does her high too, calling Neil a textbook somnophiliac – sleeping beauty syndrome – thinking Neil gets off on passed out vics. Amaro asks what the hell is the betoken of that, in addition to Fin replies that they don’t speak back. Neil’s lawyer gets on photographic goggle box camera in addition to says this is an obvious ploy past times the NYPD to distract the populace from the fact that they had the rapist inward custody in addition to released him upon political pressure. Carisi yells out to mute that witch.
Benson walks inward amongst The Ledger in addition to the front end page shouts “Demon Dentist Rapes Niece” but adds that Jimmy Mac swore he’d leave of absence the vic out of it. Fin says, “And y'all believed him? He’s a reporter.” But Rollins says the ploy worked, the phones are ringing. Carisi says this is the 5th telephone telephone since they got back; the electrical flow caller said Neil drugged in addition to raped her dorsum inward dental school. Benson tells them to choose all of them inward hither at nowadays and, turning to the TV, says she is going to wipe that grin off that boy of a bitch’s face.
Later, several victims are inward SVU recounting their stories virtually Neil. They recall his ring. Some attacks were many years back. They claim they were drugged.
Benson tells Barba that thus far, eleven victims take away hold come upwardly forrad in addition to all think existence raped or fondled past times Neil, nether sedation, over the past times twenty years. Barba questions that some continued to reckon him equally a patient afterwards. He notes he tin essay to prosecute but no corroborating evidence, no outcry at the time. Benson raises her vocalization in addition to reminds him he told her to regain to a greater extent than victims. Barba admits he did in addition to they take away hold but these are all tough cases; tough to prove in addition to if Jenna in addition to Marcy aren’t willing to bear witness his hands are tied.
