Mother explores SVU into a twisted family and a psychiatrist who may not be so pure, either, and the first sign this case is flakier than usual is when a horny loser and his reluctant buddy happen upon a dingy basement where a woman is bound and gagged.
The woman is Doctor Greta Heints and somebody beat her up rather badly. She has no memory of the attack but as SVU investigates her treatments of sec offenders comes under scrutiny, especially when her office gets ransacked and therapy tapes are stolen.
SVU eventually finds a suspect in one of her most unstable patients, Robert Logan. His sister, a drug treatment worker named Christina, blames Greta for Robert's state as a mental cripple and it gets worse when Robert breaks down in court and Christina finds one of Greta's therapy cassettes - where Greta is all but begging Robert to make love to her.
Greta of course insists it is not what it seems, and the more SVU investigates the more bizarre the case gets.
Making the weirdness of the whole matter compelling are the entertaining performances of Susanna Thompson as Greta and Sherri Parker Lee as Christina, the both of them giving a delightful Shatner-esque flavor of over the top, such as when Elliott and Olivia (curiously wearing a rather fetching tank top) play the incriminating tape to Greta and later when they confront Christina complete with explanation of a kick where it hurts.
