An interesting examination of a child who has learning and development issues being the main witness and forced to testify in court. It was a tough watch at times, what that young girl went through on the stand, when questioned by the defense. Also, the spectre of the Patriot Act rears it's head, too. That was an interesting wrinkle that I don't think has been covered before on the show?
Standout moment of the episode? Well, at least the most amusing one? The scene in the clinic where a pregnant mother wrongly but hilariously assumes Lake and Finn are gay parents. Lake lays his hand on Finn's knee, and it is absolutely priceless. There aren't a whole lot of laugh-out-loud moments on SVU, which is necessarily a very serious and often grim and super-dark show, but when they pop up, they're worth their weight in gold.
