SVU S17 15 “Collateral Damages”
“I know my client’s an asshole. Hell, I don’t even like him. But can we all just pretend for a minute that we’re not thrilled to see him going down in a completely humiliating way?”
The squad goes after a ring of New Yorkers uploading child sexual abuse material. Detectives Amanda Rollins and Sonny Carisi are stunned to find one of the culprits is Deputy Police Commissioner and major asshole Hank Abraham. As ADA Rafael Barba decides how best to prosecute him, Lt. Olivia Benson has sympathy for Abraham's wife: ADA Pippa Cox. The arrest threatens to both destroy her family and her career as a prosecutor of crimes against children. Meanwhile, Deputy Chief William Dodds urges his son, Sgt. Mike Dodds, to leave SVU for a high profile position. And Benson and Captain Ed Tucker have a "nightcap."
We're talking about Special Victims Unit season 17 episode 15* "Collateral Damages." Our returning guest is Aviv Rubinstein of the "Special Viewing Unit" podcast.
This episode takes some cues from the 2006 case of Assistant District Attorney Bill Conradt.
*Because of a two-part season opener, some streaming services list this as episode 14.
