Season 7, Episode 14
3/10
Too Weird for my taste
18 November 2013
This SVU story has to go down as being one of the weirdest and one of the worst ever done. What is usually a plot premise for a happy ending is one that ends bad with no signs of improving for the people involved.

Schuyler Fisk plays a young girl who after years of living with a mother who was not too forthcoming with love reunites with her dad, Zeljo Ivanek who is an attorney and a political candidate in New Jersey.

SVU gets involved when a dead newborn is found in the trash. It's Fisk's, but Ivanek is also the father and grandfather.

Given her background this case is exceedingly hard on Mariska Hargitay. But incest is not a crime. And Fisk is 18 and it was mutual consent.

Romantic love between father and daughter. I'll never hear the Mills Brothers sing Daddy's Little Girl again with the same feeling. This episode was way too weird.
