I thought this was one of SVU's best episodes. It calls attention to CTE in NFL players and teenage prostitution. Although, teenage prostitution kind of gets lost . I think there should have been a little more focus on how teenagers, especially runaways are manipulated into prostitution. It's very sad.
The story is well written and well directed. The late Treat Williams gives an Emmy worthy performance of an ex NFL Quarterback who is suspected of suffering from CTE and/or pugilistic dementia. The late Andre Braugher returns to give a powerful performance as his attorney. I found this to be an emotional and poignant episode. Yes, it brought tears to my eyes. The ending is heartbreaking. No. There are no winners in this episode.
