New Expression Upward Constabulary & Social Club Svu “Bang” Recap & Review
February 10, 2019
Edit
Law & Order SVU “Bang” was 1 of those episodes that I can’t create upwards one's heed whether I liked it or hated it. Maybe equally I write my review, the reply volition decease clearer.
The SVU squad gets a illustration where a babe is abandoned inwards an alley, as well as that law-breaking is chop-chop solved. But most of the episode deals alongside designated sleezeball Ken Turner, who is designated equally a “reproductive abuser,” important he likes to brand lots of babies alongside women past times using trickery, forcefulness if he has to. The detectives commented a few times that what Ken was doing was non a crime, as well as the invisible ADA Hardwicke said the illustration wasn’t worth her time, so why were they continuing to operate the case? Sure, Ken Turner was a creep as well as what he was doing was morally wrong, but the SVU squad did non receive got anyone filing a electrical load nigh him. Maybe it’s because “the inmates are running the asylum” at SVU. Where is the vocalism of ascendence as well as reason, Don Cragen (Dann Florek)? Had he been there, I am certain he also would receive got called a stop to the detectives earthworks into Ken Turner.
Also continuing to survive missing inwards activity is John Munch as well as in that location has been no explanation for his absence. Considering Richard Belzer was a long fourth dimension staple on this demo as well as he withal appears inwards the opening credits, I let out it shameful that the serial continues to disrespect the fans past times non offering some story to explicate why Munch doesn’t seem to operate at SVU anymore. This episode was also missing Tamara Tunie as well as BD Wong, which is non odd seeing that they are oft missing. I tin sympathize Tamara non beingness inwards it because in that location wasn’t a torso until close the end, but why convey inwards someone else to consult instead of an established character? Yes, I know that they needed this nutty medico - who clearly was non properly vetted earlier Benson brought her inwards for a consult – to advance the story later. But simply because Benson attended 1 of Audrey’s seminars doesn’t hateful that Audrey has no skeletons inwards her closet. Bringing her inwards instead of Dr. Huang made it to a greater extent than obvious that she would survive problem later.
It also seemed also slow that they could rail downwards Ken to his exact hotel room so quickly, as well as also really conveniently simply equally he was poking holes inwards the condom. I didn’t sympathize why Fin handed the damaged rubber to the adult woman inwards the hotel room – couldn’t that receive got been considered evidence of Ken’s plot to impregnate women without their knowledge? I also desire to know how Ken tin so easily pick women that land aren’t using their ain method of nascency control. Frankly, I would recall these days that whatever adult woman that is planning to receive got sexual practice alongside a human but doesn’t desire to acquire pregnant should receive got a backup programme of her own.
Also, how convenient was it that Audrey went to expect for a knife inwards Dede’s solid as well as let out the explosive wasp knife? Who would acquire out a knife similar that unsecured as well as slow to let out when in that location are children - or fifty-fifty other adults – inwards the house? If Audrey felt that something clicked alongside her when Ken outset asked her to run into at Dede’s house, why didn’t she come upwards alongside a weapon rather than receive got to decease looking inwards someone’s solid for one?
Are in that location actually people similar Wade who are that stupid they would receive got a babe out of someone’s abode as well as acquire out it inwards an alley inwards an endeavor to relieve the babe from a possible bad home? I would similar to recall not. That business office of the story was laughable.
John Stamos did a practiced chore equally the charmy-smarmy Ken Turner. I thought he had to a greater extent than chemical scientific discipline alongside Stabler than he did alongside some of the other women, though.
In the scene where Fin as well as Stabler expect on Ken’s gruesome body, Fin says, “Just when you lot recall you’ve seen everything.” That summed it upwards for me for this episode. Just when I recall that SVU is getting better, they serve upwards a odd episode similar “Bang.” I approximate I’ve made upwards my mind…"Bang" was a dud.
Here is the recap:
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 adult woman finds a babe abandoned behind a playground close the trash. Later, at the hospital, Detectives Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) as well as Elliot Stabler (Chris Meloni) let out the babe man child does non appear to receive got been abused as well as was only nigh 2 months old. The onesie as well as blankets he was wrapped inwards were sent to the law-breaking lab. They are warming him inwards an incubator. Stabler wonders why someone would do this, as well as he gently touches the baby.
Back at SVU, Benson tells Stabler the canvass turned upwards nada as well as Stabler says in that location are no missing persons written report for a baby. The lab is running the DNA. Detective Odafin “Fin” Tutuola tells them the logo on the onesie comes from a high priced store on the upper E side.
Benson as well as Stabler banking concern check out the store as well as speak to the store clerk (Kathy Brier). She identifies the babe equally Jasper, Dede Aston’s baby. She says Jasper was adopted, as well as she gives them Dede’s prison theater mobile telephone phone number, email, as well as address.
At the brownstone of Dede Aston, Stabler as well as Fin let out she is non abode as well as she is non answering her phone. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 neighbor, Wade (Jordan Dean) hears them talking nigh Jasper beingness taken, as well as he has non seen Dede for a few days. He did take away heed yelling coming from her identify final night, as well as when Fin knocks on the door again, he tin take away heed a vocalism speaking Spanish. The door is unlocked as well as they come inwards to let out a adult woman praying at the crib. She says they took the baby. Her call is Imelda (Marta Milans) as well as she is taking aid of the babe patch Dede is inwards Boston. When she went to bed final dark everything was fine, as well as inwards the morn the crib was empty. She is praying someone volition let out him. Fin tells her that her prayers receive got been answered. He mentions the screaming from final dark as well as she said she was alone. Stabler shows that he found a rubber inwards the bath that looks fresh. She admits that her immature human was in that location but he is a rich guy as well as would never receive got the baby. Stabler asks for a name.
Later, dorsum at SVU, Ken Turner (John Stamos) the nanny’s boyfriend, arrives. He used to survive an ADA inwards Nassau County. He industrial plant instantly for Daschle Private Equity. He said the sexual practice alongside the nanny was “enthusiastic” non rough. He said Dede does non know nigh it as well as Jasper is a beautiful baby, he loves babies. He gets panicky when Stabler tells him that Jasper had been taken. His prints are on the crib because he checked on the babe at midnight as well as and so he left. He is fond of the man child but said Imelda is non nanny cloth as well as she can’t grip it. He thinks Imelda snapped.
When Stabler leaves the room, he tells Benson as well as Fin that Ken can’t survive ruled out but that Ken ruled Imelda in. Fin leaves to pick her up, as well as Stabler thinks they should permit Ken go, for now. But Jasper’s woman nurture Dede (Lori Singer) arrives as well as asks what is going on. But when she sees Ken, she races into his arms. She tells the detectives that Ken is her fiancé. She demands to know what is going on.
Later, at the hospital, Dede checks on Jasper. Benson tells her the babe can’t decease abode alongside her until they know he volition survive safe. They know she was out of town but they receive got to dominion out anyone else alongside access to her home. She dryly asks how she tin help. She adopted him seven weeks ago, does non know the nascency mother’s name, as well as Ken did the legal operate for the adoption. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 friend of an associate knew a pregnant immature adult woman who could non maintain her babe as well as Ken knew she was looking for a baby. She barely knew Ken at the fourth dimension as well as the adoption sparked things for them. Dede moves to reply her telephone as well as tells Benson she had a many operate demands as well as never had fourth dimension to date. She says making her a woman nurture made her human 1 time to a greater extent than as well as able to autumn inwards love. She says Ken is perfect. Benson says Jasper is inwards practiced hands as well as asks her to come upwards dorsum to the precinct.
Back at SVU, Stabler is withal questioning Ken. He said Imelda jumped him as well as it was a 2nd of weakness. Meanwhile, Fin is talking to Imelda, as well as patch doing so, she sees Dede walk into the other interview room. Fin turns downwards the book so Imelda can’t take away heed Dede, as well as asks if Ken loves her so much, what happens when he marries Dede? Imelda says he isn’t going to hook upwards alongside Dede, he is simply waiting for the correct fourth dimension to dump her. She swears she would never wound the baby. Fin asks her if she is worried nigh getting pregnant, because Ken’s rubber broke final night. Imelda flippantly says that Ken is a maniac inwards bed.
Meanwhile, Dede raves nigh Ken to Benson as well as when Benson comments that Dede has no thought what Ken is doing behind her dorsum alongside Imelda, Imelda watches Dede acquire upset through the window. Dede gets upwards from the tabular array as well as shouts through the window to Imelda that she is a slut as well as accuses Imelda of putting Jasper inwards the alley so she could receive got Ken. Imelda races through the door as well as lunges at Dede, as well as Benson as well as Fin must push clit them apart. When Imelda is taken dorsum into the other room, Benson continues to inquiry Dede nigh her whereabouts as well as demands to regard her airline boarding pass. Dede admits she never went, she was at the Waldorf, as well as and so asks Ken to survive her lawyer.
Later, alongside Ken inwards the room, she admits she was non inwards Boston as well as and so is upset that he slept alongside Imelda. Ken tries to charm his way out of it. Benson presses Dede on why she was at the Waldorf. She said she was thinking nigh what to do – she’s pregnant. She was non certain she wanted to receive got it as well as Ken is thrilled as well as presses her to receive got the baby. He says he has never been happier as well as is happy that rubber broke. Benson comments to Dede that the pregnancy was unplanned as well as asks if they role condoms, as well as that she bets Ken’s condoms intermission a lot. Dede is shocked that she knows that. Benson says it was a lucky guess, as well as adds that Ken is a “reproductive abuser” as well as that he wants babies as well as uses women to brand them. She says the criterion neglect charge per unit of measurement is 1% as well as thinks Ken’s neglect charge per unit of measurement is higher than that, as well as that she thinks he pokes tiny holes inwards them earlier he puts them on, maxim this is typical behavior of a reproductive abuser. Ken turns on the charm but Benson calls it phony sweetness utter as well as it is simply to acquire her to give in. Ken says unless they are charging them, they are leaving. As they walk out Benson continues to operate on Dede as well as Ken continues to charm Dede. As the 2 of the walk out, Benson tells Stabler what she learned as well as thinks only Ken wants the baby. CSU Tech Sung (James Chen) enters as well as says that he does non recall Ken took Jasper. Most hairs on the blanket jibe Dede as well as Imelda but in that location was 1 ruddy hair, as well as they receive got plenty of the follicle for a deoxyribonucleic acid sample as well as they tin also tell the somebody has bluish eyes. Stabler says this sounds similar Dede’s downstairs neighbor, Wade Fisk.
They convey Wade into SVU as well as Stabler accuses him of taking Jasper, but he denies it. He as well as so says he was trying to relieve Jasper from that hellhole upstairs. He says Dede would survive a groovy mom without Ken as well as Ken is e'er banging somebody as well as uses Dede’s identify equally a political party pad. Last night, Ken as well as Imelda ignored the baby’s screams. He left the babe wrapped upwards existent good but he position the babe past times the dorsum door so people who worked in that location would let out him. He thinks Ken is a monster, he has heard him on the telephone maxim awful things.
Back at the hospital, Benson as well as Stabler regard Ken as well as Dede visiting the baby. They tell him Wade heard Ken on the telephone nigh his exploits. Benson said they did a tape search as well as demo Dede a listing of xx nascency certificates, over the final 10 years, alongside Ken’s call equally the father. Ken tells Dede he e'er told her he loves kids. Benson adds that they ran Jasper’s deoxyribonucleic acid against the semen found inwards the ripped rubber as well as Ken is his father. She is shocked as well as he is nonplussed.
Back at SVU, when Fin asks if they’ve busted the creep yet, Stabler says beingness a creep is non illegal. Benson brings inwards Dr. Audrey Shelton (Noelle Beck) who atomic number 82 a seminar that Benson took on reproductive abusers. She says reproductive abusers role verbal coercion to brand babies, as well as inwards some cases they role their fists. They create upwards one's heed to banking concern check the other babe mommas to regard if Ken shell them. Audrey adds sometimes it tin atomic number 82 to rape. They create upwards one's heed to start alongside Jasper’s nascency woman nurture equally in that location is no tape of the adoption.
At Empire Skate, Benson as well as Audrey speak alongside Bridget (Olivia Horton), the nascency mother, who was an addict. She only wanted him to pay for the abortion but he checked her into an floor as well as got her into rehab as well as promised to hook upwards alongside her. At first, she was build clean as well as inwards love, but the calendar week after Jasper was born, she did a piddling blow as well as Ken found out as well as he told her he found someone who would give Jasper a ameliorate life. She felt that she had no pick as well as Ken was so convincing. Ken told her it was also belatedly to acquire Jasper back, but hither was no tape of the adoption. She did sign paperwork, as well as she wants her babe back. As Benson as well as Audrey walk away, they recall they instantly receive got something they tin arrest him for, equally he didn’t file the paperwork that agency Ken stole her baby.
Benson as well as Audrey provide to SVU as well as Stabler tells them the warrant to locate Ken via prison theater mobile telephone phone has been executed. They regard his location at a blossom store as well as and so regard him on the displace across the street to a hotel. They recall he has some other adult woman there.
Stabler as well as Fin acquire to the hotel room as well as when a adult woman opens the door, Stabler shows his badge as well as motions for her to survive silent. She lets them inwards as well as they let out Ken inwards the bath poking holes inwards a condom. They confiscate the rubber as well as arrest him for endangering the welfare of a kid as well as an illegal adoption. As they receive got Ken off, Fin gives the adult woman the rubber packet alongside the holes inwards it.
With Ken inwards interrogation, Stabler questions him nigh Ken taking Jasper. He thinks he has done nada wrong. He asks Stabler why he has such a difficult on for him, as well as Stabler quips it’s because Ken can’t maintain his out of unsuspecting women. Ken thinks he is next his natural urge to procreate, but Stabler disagrees. Ken thinks he is making their lives richer alongside his progeny as well as his money. He asks Stabler nigh how many kids he has, as well as Stabler has 5. Ken says the national average is 1.83 as well as that Stabler understands the urge but is express past times weakness, means, as well as mojo. He thinks at heart, Stabler wants to survive him. Stabler thinks Ken has an inferiority complex but Ken sees himself equally Montezuma alongside 4,000 concubines. Stabler says he give his ain children dear as well as attending as well as Ken does non properly back upwards his family. Ken tries to charm Stabler to his way of thinking, as well as Stabler thinks he is a sick boy of a bitch.
After Stabler leaves the room, Audrey says Ken is the worst she has fifty-fifty seen. She says his charm is what makes him unsafe as well as she thank you lot God that they arrested him. But Benson says they won’t brand it stick, Hardwicke said a paperwork misdemeanor is non worth her fourth dimension as well as whatever defence forcefulness attorney could acquire him off alongside a slap on the wrist. Stabler said they thought their DA mightiness punt so they receive got a backup plan.
Stabler enters the interrogation room as well as when he sees Ken on a prison theater mobile telephone phone, he tells them no phones are allowed inwards there. He tells Ken he is gratuitous to go. Ken says that he would sue for harassment but he would hate, for Stabler’s kids’ sake, for Stabler to lose his job. Stabler sarcastically says that is sweetness of him.
On the way out, Ken finds a large grouping of women as well as children waiting for him – all victims of his reproductive abuse. Dede looks surprised. Someone asks Ken what is going on, as well as Ken says the NYPD is trying to embarrass him. The women are clearly angry. Ken tries to smoothen it over alongside them as well as it doesn’t operate as well as Dede walks off. He sees a adult woman in that location he does non know as well as questions if he slept alongside her. She said he slept alongside her immature adult woman Trish, as well as she tells him Trish as well as her boy alongside him are both dead. When he refused to permit them displace inwards alongside him, she killed herself inwards the machine alongside carbon monoxide, along alongside her son. Audrey laces into him, as well as Ken thinks he improved the women’s' lives. He also adds they only checked New York, he has been around the province as well as to Europe as well as has 47 children as well as he loves all of them.
Afterwards, Benson as well as Stabler utter over that it is amazing nada Ken did was illegal. But Fin enters as well as said beingness a basis floor creep tin acquire you lot dead equally a doornail. Ken Turner was simply found dead inwards a garden behind Dede’s brownstone – as well as it was gruesome.
Fin as well as Stabler decease far at the location of Ken’s torso as well as it is indeed gruesome. Fin comments “Just when you lot recall you’ve seen everything” as well as Stabler adds, “It looks similar he ate a bomb.” They recall Dede did it.
Later, equally the torso is beingness carted away, Stabler tells CSU Tech Sung that they receive got non found the weapon. Sung said whatever did it, did it fast equally in that location were no defensive wounds. Fin is non certain it was Dede equally it seems she has non been abode since she left the precinct. They banking concern check alongside the neighbor, Wade, who denies killing him but is appears he is looking to flee. Stabler asks to banking concern check his identify as well as Wade lets him in. Stabler sees diving equipment as well as says he knows how Wade killed him.
Back at SVU, Stabler tells Benson as well as Fin that the weapon was a wasp injection knife, developed for the Navy Seals for the particular punch it packs. Inside the grip is a canister which injects CO2 into whatever you lot are stabbing, as well as it blows them to bits.
Benson as well as Stabler human face upwards Wade alongside this information, who knows what form of knife it is because he is a diver. Benson says Wade has motive as well as opportunity. He said Dede is a diver too, they met on a dive trip, as well as Dede owns 1 of those knives.
They inquiry Dede nigh it as well as she said yes she had a knife similar this, it saved her from a hammerhead. But Dede says someone took her knife as well as used it on him. She said Ken also had a telephone commutation to her identify as well as used it similar a dear shack alongside dozens of other women patch she was away. She said Ken was so practiced at sweetness talking her. She said Audrey convinced the other women that SVU brought inwards to decease to a eating seat as well as utter nigh what Ken had done to them as well as that’s where Dede was when Ken was killed. Stabler comes inwards as well as tells Benson she needs to regard something. All the other women are back, as well as they tell them Dede did non do it, they were all together. But Benson realizes that Audrey is non alongside them, as well as they take away heed that Audrey left the eating seat early on after her telephone rang as well as she went exterior to receive got the call.
