It's well done but like so many SVU episodes: powerful perp, lots of handlers, uncooperative witnesses, the 1PP brass being cowards. Worst for me were all the Spanish-speaking actors butchering Portuguese. Learn to say "feijoada" correctly, Ocampo!
Otherwise, I'm starting to like Muncy in her interplay with Velasco vis à vis football versus fútbol (futebol in Portuguese), although I doubt the NYPD would allow a colorblind officer to make detective. Saint Olivia still has more balls than Chief McGrath, who continues to seem like a kiss-up, kick-down boss. Idea: if they could bring back Barek from Criminal Intent as a lieutenant, bring back Eames as the new SVU chief. She made lieutenant before Olivia, so making her an inspector or one-star chief isn't a stretch. An Erbe-Hargitay conflict and alliance would be entertaining.
