The SVU squad has a hot potato in this episode as Eric McCormack guest stars as a multi-millionaire who runs a Facebook like social network for those who want to hook up with someone special. McCormack has hooked up with a young on line call girl and when her naked body is found stuffed in a suitcase and thrown off an AMTRAK train into a tunnel, the investigation by Benson, Stabler, and Tutuola leads to McCormack.
McCormack does a wonderful job playing a totally self absorbed creep who now that he has the money of a Midas is going to indulge all his hedonistic pleasures. He's completely abandoned his wife Leann Hunley and daughter Melissa Farman in pursuit of his carnal needs.
The portrait of the late victim is nothing flattering either. She's looking for a rich sugar daddy and she'll gladly trade McCormack in for something better.
Christine Lahti is in this one and her issue with Christopher Meloni just get worse and worse. They fight bitterly in this and every other episode she was in. Not that she doesn't fight with Mariska Hargitay, but something about Meloni just presses her buttons.
The climax which adds an entirely different ending to what you thought might be going on is brought about by some additional police investigation after the arraignment. Believe me, no one looks good in this episode, not even the series regulars.
