This episode was just bad all around. Jimmy Olson needed to pull Riley aside and slap some sense into him. Just because you're related to someone doesn't mean you bail them out of every constant mess they make of their lives. Courtroom Absurdity of the Week: Starbuck has the wife of the murder victim on the stand who has testified that the watch found in the defendant's desk was her husband's watch. Starbuck starts going on about how many Rolexes were manufactured by the company and how many of that model were sold that year. And of course Price doesn't object, even though those are all facts that have to be proven, not just stated by the defense lawyer. If Starbuck wanted the jury to know that 1200 Rolexes of that exact same make and model were sold in New York in 2024, then she'd have to call someone from the Rolex company to testify to those facts. She can't just assert them herself in front of the jury. > Law & Order: Special Victims Unit - Law & Order: Special Victims Unit - > "Divide and Conquer" - Kelli Giddish returns as Sergeant Amanda Rollins > for what I'm guessing is a backdoor pilot to help SVU track down an > international gang of robbers.

In this episode, we have the rape victim's friend find her drowning her sorrows at a bar and what does she do? She calls Benson. I mean, think about that. You find your friend getting drunk at a bar and you call the cops. How is this in any way a police matter. And Benson, who's now a captain and running an entire division drops everything in the middle of the work day to go and be cloyingly empathetic to a girl getting drunk in a bar.
