In order to watch this episode, you have to believe former ADA Alex Cabot, the cool and no-nonsense attorney we've seen in literally hundreds of episodes before, no longer even has the most basic understanding of the law -- and even more laughable, that Benson has to teach that to her. There is so much scene chewing, it's embarrassing, and almost all of it is written merely to make Benson look more heroic. SVU has certainly been lobotomized in recent seasons, but this is quite possibly the most egregious demonstration of that.
