SVU 26 x 7

Seen a lot of ppl saying Liv was really cranky this episode and honestly, yeah, but Carisi interrupted her kneading of what looked like a very soft pillow and I wouldn't forgive that either.

I too am proud of Carisi. It's like Liv said, innocent until proven guilty is the law of the land. And yes Liv has totally reacted the same way in the past but are people not allowed to grow? That being said, I am not in any way supporting that guy's actions, he should have sought help himself much sooner, however, I am pleased that the ultimate response was leaning towards prevention of crime rather than reaction to crime.

Bruno holding the baby was hysterical and I loved it. I also love that he's still in contact with some of the people he helped when he was in Bronx SVU. Really impresses upon us how he's always been a good SVU detective, he's just been in a bad unit.

Fin gently mentoring Bruno as he's done for Amanda and others in the past is always a plus. He's that guy they'll remember and be like wow he taught me a lot and we didn't even talk a ton.

I'm always somewhat happy to see a sex worker episode because, and I'm aware the bar is in hell, at least crime against sex workers is being acknowledged and prosecuted.

I've also seen a lot of people being like why did they show Walla (idk how to spell her name) the video of her own assault and while I agree that it must have been traumatic, I feel like that was almost meant to be trial prep. Because if the video exists, then the prosecution is going to have to give it to the defense who are also likely to use it. Does it suck that this is how the justice system works? Absolutely, but at least she was seeing it for the first time in a safe place where support was available if she needed it.

Kind of amazed it took them so long to canvas the other sex workers in that area. Just knowing that he was a regular for one of them should have been enough to kick off that he was probably known to a lot of others.

Overall, a decent episode.

P.S. I am not concerned about Carisi next episode. I'm just not. It's the mid season finale which is not a time any show would kill a character knowing a hiatus is coming during which they would lose viewership. It'd also be pointless, plot-wise. Do I think he might get hurt or even shot? Yeah maybe, but he's not gonna die so I'm not worried.
