This case of an assault on a mother might have been an easy closing for the SVU squad, but for the facts that the mother has lost her memory and the father and their set of friends are all big high mucky mucks guarding the security of the USA. Naturally the Feds are all over this one and won't let SVU do what it normally does.
The one witness is a young girl with a special type of mental retardation called William's Syndrome. Pauline Gerzon plays the young girl who is a female version of Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man. She remembers everything but what sounds hostile she tries to block. It's not going to be easy for Diane Neal to question her in court.
Aidan Quinn is her father and he's suspected as well. Gerzon and Quinn have some tender scenes together. But is that Quinn trying to influence his daughter to block it out because he did it?
Both Quinn and Gerzon are outstanding in this story.
