Pretty much every dedicated SVU fan has seen this iconic episode about a rogue prison guard (fantastic Johnny Messner) and the female inmates he terrorizes. But it's always worth a rewatch.
Even with all the jarring stuff that happens in this episode, it's that one line from Stabler - "What happened in the basement' ? - that truly sends chills up ya spine every time.
And even with Mariska Hargitay's really top performance here in a harrowing situation, it's Meloni as Stabler with that simple question that really sums up the whole thing.
Both of course give stellar performances here but it's always cool to rewatch those quiet moments where it's just two people trying to figure out why the world is so crap*y and what they can do to fix it, all while never waning in their care for one another.
Tamara Tunie as Warner is also super clutch in this episode during a couple of key moments.
10 stars. Should have been Emmys all around.
